Henry Abbott(truehoop) says Dame is going to ask for a trade in the coming days.

[Kblaze8855]

The usual “Sources close to _____ say” situation but it isn’t a nobody saying so. Guess we will see.

[coastalmarker99]

I think the 76ers are going to get him in all honesty if he wants out.


Dame for Simmons + Thybulle plus a ton of first-round picks makes a lot of sense for both teams.

[ImKobe]

I'd call bs but we saw the early signs of this when a legitimate source (Haynes) was hinting at Dame possibly forcing his way out. The Knicks part probably is not true, why would he leave one mediocre team for another? I guess NY would still have more flexibility even if they took on his contract and gave up a piece or two, him and RJ probably are a better duo than him & CJ at this point and if they keep Randle it's a potential ECF contender but nothing beyond that IMO.

Trail Blazers superstar Damian Lillard has his eyes on the New York Knicks among trade destinations in the event he were to be dealt, per a source.

[Hey Yo]

But what about loyalty?!?!?!

[coastalmarker99]

But what about loyalty?!?!?!

The NBA at the end of the day is a business so I don't understand fans obsession with loyalty as you better believe most owners will trade a loyal player that had spent their entire career on their teams if they can get a better player in return.

He's saying that because Dame has always talked about loyalty and clowned on others that move. Life comes at you fast.

It was dame preaching loyalty...

It wouldn't make sense for the Blazers IMO.

Simmons' effort was questionable enough playing on a title contender in Philly.

Playing for a treadmill team in Portland Oregon is probably not going to bring out the competitor in him. If they make that trade they have to assume he's gonna slack and provide no real value to the franchise. And the picks they'll get from Philly are not gonna be very valuable.

I would assume you could find better trade than that if you're Portland. But maybe not. We'll see.

[Ice Trae]

Good for Dame. Give him a chance to win

[Mauzah]

Even with a trade Dame has proved himself to be loyal. After a certain point sometimes you just have to turn the page.

Dame was BIG on loyalty when getting the $200M bag.

Now that its secured it ain't about loyalty anymore but how he was "wronged" and going to do what's best for his family and situation :lol


The only player that is loyal to a fault is Curry.

It's easy to be loyal to a team that has given you a ring or rings.

Jordans done it (if we ignore that stint with the wizards)
Kobes done it
Duncans done it
Dirks done it

But teams who play in a small market and have not won?

Lots who had to leave to win...

[eliteballer]

Dame for Simmons?

[fourkicks44]

Now its on.

Go get 'em Morey!

What deals do other teams have to offer?

[FultzNationRISE]

I'll be really interested to see who actually makes a move for this guy. He just doesn't seem that motivated as a competitor.

You typically don't win a championship by paying a guy like that a lot of money :lol

Five 1st round exits, zero Finals yikes.

Maybe Schroeder + Harrel and a 1st rounder. Who says no?

Don't Knicks have a ton of money to sign another very good player? I don't know who the free-agents are this summer

[2ball]

Why would Dame be involved in the coach hiring process if he’s leaving? I don’t think he leaves.

[ScottieQuitting]

Dame for Simmons?

Excellent for both parties I think

[eliteballer]

Dame a good fit in Utah?

[eliteballer]

Philly should go all in, who knows how long of a career Embiid has.

[MrFonzworth]

Sick of people saying this. Embbid is playing until he's 45, give it a rest

[fourkicks44]

Lillard has just spoken and stopped short of demanding a trade. Reiterated the point he wants to stay a Blazer but is but he is uncommitted because the team is not good enough.

The Sixers are in the driver's seat here.

No one can offer more than them and this is the reason Morey was brought in to get these deals done.

They missed out on Harden, can't afford to make that mistake twice.

The dubs could offer more. I don't think Dame would end up in Golden State but they could be the third team to facilitate a trade to another team.

I guess it depends what Portland want. If they want a bunch of middle 1st round picks and Wiggins with an injured Wiseman that may never live up to expectations, be ass for possibly the next 10 years on a gamble then yes, Dubs could offer more.

Simmons, despite the bullshit is still and All-NBA defender and multiple All-Star, Thybulle's value is never been higher and is rising like the sun since playing for Australia, Maxey has proven he is gonna be a stayer in this league. I'm sure Morey will offer them firsts also.

If they want to have proven talent +potential the Sixers have more to offer.
