Calling jaylen brown a ‘switchy wing like Aaron gordon and jerami grant’ is nuts

This is more reason why Portland actually needs to part ways with Dame more than the other way around. Only way to get jaylen brown is sending that top pick and that’d be a mistake

Sharpe + Simons + top 3 pick + young star and picks for dame is a hell of a core.

It's a hell of a core for him, but they aren't and won't be good enough in time to compete for a championship.

Even without Victor they're gonna be good real soon with Cade, Ivey, Duren

It's admirable Dame wants to stay and win in the small market but the feel good story is holding up development. Idk what a deal looks like because he's older but I'm thanking Dame for his services and shipping him out this summer

A young star and picks in exchange for dame. The core wouldn’t be for Dame to play with

After this draft pick which will presumably be in the top 4 there is no reason at all to keep dame.
I wouldn’t do Brown for Dame as elite wings are too hard to come by in the league. A lot of contenders just don’t have the picks anymore to send out in a Dame and might be even more hesitant to now with the new CBA.

Jazz 'Keeping Very Interested Eye On' Luka Doncic
MAY 5, 2023 12:30 PM


The Dallas Mavericks have concerns within their franchise that Luka Doncic could request a trade as early as the 2024 offseason, which would alter the league given his age and status as one of the top-5 players in the NBA.

The Utah Jazz have accumulated a surplus of draft picks over the past year with their trades of Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, which could put them in position to assemble one of the more compelling offers to the Mavericks while also leaving enough of a supporting cast around Doncic to remain competitive. The Jazz could likely outbid almost any team for Doncic.

"With my spies telling me that Utah in particular is keeping a very interested eye on Doncic’s situation, even the Nets’ kitchen-sink offer for Doncic — the four firsts from Phoenix and one from Philly, plus whatever matching salary not named Bridges is needed to make the deal work — likely falls massively short," wrote John Hollinger at The Athletic.

If Doncic were to seek an exit from the Mavericks, it has yet to be seen which teams he would prefer a trade to.

Low key if the pistons pick up scoot/miller and are able to land brooks they may be on to something add in some more shooting of course maybe they can move bagley and someone else for a shooter.
Yea I don’t like this statement :heh: implying if they get Dillon Brooks they can be something. They gon be something purely from the standpoint they’ll have 3potential all star youngins. (Ivey, Cade, top pick).

They’ll be about the same age as Memphis was. Why would they want to sign the guy Memphis just got rid of for being a bad culture fit.
