Just lol if they trade Dame for scraps.

But also, as a Blazer fan, thank god that poo poo is over. You don't draft scoot and have him play off the bench.

The Rockets are overpaying Fred just to be able to do that with Amen

my guess is Amen wins a starting guard job from Green pretty quickly lol.

But that is probably my generally low opinions of Jalen Green bleeding through, but that could just be tinted by the fact that he was allowed to and indulged in playing yolo ball for 2 years, due to keeping a coach around who wasn't hired to coach a bunch of kids.

They're hard to compare because Kawhi and the Spurs had an ugly breakup and Dame and the Blazers seem to be doing it amicably.

I mentioned LaMarcus in my post because he was straightforward with the Spurs in his trade request and didn't try to gently caress them over.

As compared to the stupidity that was Kawhi using his knee issues to provoke the Spurs into doing something his camp could use as an excuse to pressure them into trading him and still look good in the process.

It's fitting that Uncle Dennis finally got his way and now Kawhi's stuck in purgatory in LA.

Probably pretty happy, Kawhi has some rings, is in his hometown, and is making a bunch of money to play Basketball whenever his body is capable of it.

The no-shooting backcourt would be rough to watch

e: I'm still hopeful Jalen can regain the magic of his last ~30ish games of his rookie season

I will not report to any team unless it’s the Heat, and only if you trade Gabe Vincent for me and that’s it.

Lmao Kawhi would have been murdered publicly if he was on that team.

AD gets poo poo on all the time for being injured, and he's been far more healthy than Kawhi has been recently.

I think they'll run Amen next to Fvv for spacing

And they'll run out plenty of 3 guard lineups because you've got to put your talent on the floor. Kinda Detroit esque there with 1s,2s, and 5s

Regardless, all Dame has to say or make it known is that "He won't report to X Team"

And that would crater any trade that X team wants to offer.

Like what happened when Boston tried to trade for Anthony Davis.

If Dame gets traded to Sacramento or wherever, would he actually sit out the rest of his contract?

Prooooobably not, but a team isn't going to give their best offer if it's possible Dame decides to just retire or not report with his millions he's made so far.

You don't trade for a player that doesn't want to be there. Kawhi was fine playing his last UFA year in Toronto because he knew he could go wherever afterwards.
