In the spirit of America, and the load I’m in the process of tying on. I think that we should find a way to send Dame, Butler and Mikal Bridges to the birth place of freedom Philadelphia in exchange for Harden, Tobias Harris and 2 dozen crack heads from the corner of Kensington and Allegheny.

Throw in a good cheesesteak sammich and ya got a deal.

Pretty sure a cheesesteak isn't a sandwich....it is its own entity. Just like a hot dog isn't a sandwich.

A hot dog is a sammich.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg rules that hot dogs are sandwiches

The Notorious RBG has spoken.

Cheesesteaks and burgers...also sammiches.

@trojanfan12 committing sacrilege here calling hot dogs and cheese steaks sammiches.

Sammiches are something put on 2 pieces of sliced wonder bread....not cheesesteaks or hot dogs.

The Supreme Court of the United States agrees with me.

Last I will say, @tlance.....if the Nets can use a pick or 2 to unhload Simmons for very little or some expiring contracts?

You run out there with Herro, Bridges, Cam, Claxton, DFS, and Dinwiddie.....and then go FA shopping next summer (they would be way under the cap) or trade for another disgruntled player that wants out.

Where have you seen it reported that Portland was willing to accept that offer?

Because, the rumor was 5 first round picks and Simmons and the Blazers are still saying they will look elsewhere.

Didn't.

Just random speculation.

Sure.

But the free agent shopping is the key there.

Could work in the Brooklyn market.

Just saying I understand why teams aren’t excited about Herro as a trade asset.

Good complementary piece for a contender, but not a core guy for a rebuilding team.

The Ringer article pretty much sums it up.

I will post the important parts….


I can already hear Miami fans crying about Herro, who’s only 23 and has averaged over 20 points in consecutive seasons. But he’s a liability on defense, has been a dud on offense in the playoffs ever since the bubble, and is owed $120 million over the next four years. The Blazers don’t need another score-first guard who plays iffy defense, with Anfernee Simons already signed to a similar contract and former lottery pick Shaedon Sharpe poised to assume a bigger role in his second year.

Herro is redundant for Portland. And there are already signs the Blazers feel the same way. This would go down as one of the worst trades in NBA history. There’s no big lump of draft picks like the Nets received for Kevin Durant or the Jazz did for Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, and no key young players like the Pelicans got for Anthony Davis or the Thunder got for Paul George.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Signing?

He's not a FA, he opted into his contract.

Can't think of a better mentor for those kids.
