I am not sure I would want Towns though either.

There aren’t any potential deals I have seen out there that look like a decent deal for Portland
That’s the issue. Minny probably will only trade him for a great package but in the scenario Meebs and I talked about. Minny gets Herro and picks, not Dame. So Portland gets Towns + players and a pick from Miami.

Yeah said that 2 weeks ago. One team been in at least the conference finals 3 of the last 4 seasons while the other missed the playoffs 3 of the last 4 seasons (i think)

Miami will be fine with or without Dame. They will be playing basketball middle of May as always with or without him
I was rooting for the Heat until the bitter end but I think they need this worse than you think. They were within a couple of minutes of being out in the playin, and that was before Herro got hurt. They can win a title with Lillard, no guarantee they can have another run like they did though with what they have.

I disagree.

Somebody always willing to trade up.

Might not get a ton in return, but they could have moved back.
and despite you thinking you know they can still get their guy you don't know....never mind teams don't often trade up in incredibly weak drafts.

You are making hindsight points and that doesn't exist at time of draft.

And salaries....that would have been the C Dallas could use.
I would love both KAT and Gobert gone. Reid is dynamic on offense and a plus defender. I would take that over having to extremes and hoping combined they make a complete player. Reid should not have resigned with us. Short term with a center needy team and he would have gotten paid!

Towns would be good in Portland Imo

Herro and Edwards are both SG's though ....one of them play PG?

Not easy to get teams to trade up in weak drafts, but sure. Griff screwed the pooch and good for him he owned it. Never mind you don't know they could still get Bennett at 5-6.

Giannis comment is absurd as even his own team didn't know what they were getting.

Of course nobody knew what they were getting in Giannis.

I even implied that it would have taken a stroke of luck that would have only been possible if they traded “far enough down”.

You need to get off your high horse with BS. Nothing even remotely “absurd” about what I wrote.

Edwards can guard SF. On offense the rolenthey play would be very different.
Known each other a while, Meebs...

Story on Minny, Mich and Utah teams? Just curious....no judgement about teams being from all over and I can't remember if I asked you before.

The main question I have is, would Herro be OK being relegated to a corner 3/cut guy? Because Edwards is going to dominate the ball.
He would be starting and not on bench so there is that.....

Ask @bksballer89 but I think he would just be happy to be starting.

Raised in Montana, picked my teams based in favorite players.

Utah Utes because I lost a ping-pong match. Fandom was what we put on the line.

I think that takes Herro’s value away to an extent. He is good at creating his own shot as well but I think you are talking about a Klay role to an extent

Edwards can play the 1-3 on offense and defend the 2 or 3. Yeah they would be fine
No SF outside of Lebron type is going to be able to bully him in yhe post, wingspan makes it so they can't just shoot over.

Edwards improvement on defense has me far more excited than his offense improvement
