{~}Official 2022-2023 NBA Thread - it’s that time again, this thread coming to a end

Being that he's one of the top players in the league and what Brooklyn did to bring him, Harden and KD together.

With the promise of what they could be if healthy. KD signed, they didn't and thus became free agents with both of their histories. They bet on themselves with their histories.

They could have all done like KD and resigned and then asked for a trade with the new contract a la Dame and Beal

How much you think Kyrie should’ve got?

That team had 10 years to build something

Portland has had shitty management since Dame was drafted in 2012...

The GM, Neil Olshey, who hired the same year, and President were fired 2 years ago...

He should have requested a trade once they hired Buillups for the rebuild...

Trail Blazers fire Olshey after workplace inquiry

The Trail Blazers have fired general manager and president of basketball operations Neil Olshey following an independent investigation that determined he violated the team's code of conduct.

Im sure they told Isaiah Thomas the same shit when they kept sending him out there when he was hurt on a Contract year. Idk when dudes are gonna stop trusting these damn teams.

Dame should have left like 3-5 yrs ago.

20+ point scorer. Best shooter on our team
Hit a lot of clutch shots for us and he doesn't shy away from the pressure
Weakness is defense but he was better this year
Only 23yo
I'm going to miss him

Eh

 

[Mack1052]

I'm not sure either, at what cost. Once again a player that can't defend and I saw a trade scenario on ESPN that Included Claxton who Is basically there best big and has some promise, sharp won't cut It.

Not with anything move Clax unless it's for a bonafide young star because imo Clax will be an all star sooner than later

 

[Mack1052]

Only if there's no picks involved. Miami could have Royce O'Neal or Finney Smith with one of our young players (not Clax or Cam Thomas)

 

[therealjondoe]

Eh

Borderline all star and better than the guys you just let go

 

[Mack1052]

Need more insight on players from other players. Loved the breakdown from Shump

We don't want anything
Just give a few picks to Portland

Could get Anfernee Simons for less and they damn near put up the same numbers

 

[jawnswoop]

y'all don't have anything though and if y'all did then dame would've been heat by now!

 

[Mack1052]

Wasn't implying giving the Heat any picks.. I don't want to give ANY team any picks.. Especially with how this new CBA is set up. Hitting on a good player on a rookie contract is the setup for a championship. This superstar team switching ain't win shit since the big three and no I don't consider KD going to GS the latter

 

[therealjondoe]

They aren't trading him

He's coming it's just a matter of time

 

[Mack1052]

They aren't trading him

A week ago they said they weren't trading Dame and here we are...

This is their backcourt of the future



Makes no sense placing Sharpe on the bench when he's still an asset

 

[TIMEISMONEY]

Only if there's no picks involved. Miami could have Royce O'Neal or Finney Smith with one of our young players (not Clax or Cam Thomas)

I would love if the heat landed Thomas, 5 years from now, he’s gonna be special

Portland doesn't known what it's doing lol
That's why Dame is gone

 

[Mack1052]

The just got smaller while other teams in the west went bigger. We've all seen teams go cold in the playoffs and that percentage shit go out the window

 

[Coldchi]

they meant his wife was safe from Ime Udoka

Backup fam lol.

Honestly they did everything they could under the assumption Dame was staying like he said three days ago.

Don't know what else you could do if your the Blazers at this point

 

[jawnswoop]

Keep wishing for a star.

They had 10 years to get him help
He said if they don't trade that pick for help he was gone
