      Nick Wright says some stupid ****, but I honestly think this could be true.

      Nets would never do it, and have no reason to, but that fills nearly every hole they have and on most nights they literally don’t need that third top tier scoring threat.

      But they could maybe fill every hole they have without moving Kyrie at all. And Kyrie and KD sorta came as a package deal. You don’t break that up. With no Lakers, Utah being Utah, Milwaukee being Milwaukee (most nights) this would have likely been easy for them if they were just healthy this post season. So I don’t think it’s time for them to be exploring trading their stars.

        I can see. Unless it is Dame, I don't see any prominent names demanding a trade.

        As far as "stars", I don't see many rumors. But as far as likely players, Tristan Thompson, Rozier, Sexton, Lavine(if he doesn't sign extension), Porzingis, Wiggins, Eric Gordon, Myles Turner, Kuzma, Herro, Ingram, Simmons, McCollum are guys that I could see being trade.

          Does not fill every hole we have(pause). Besides, nba fans just spent the last week trashing the dude and basically calling him a role player, yet he could still pull back all NBA caliber player?

          Make it sense lol. This trade is dumb and so is that clown and anyone else that proposes dumb **** like this.

              Can someone give me a TLDR on the Dame/Portland hiring Billups situation because I am confused as to why there's controversy on Billups being hired and why Dame is upset

                It’s Chris Haynes as the main source from what I can tell with nothing deeper than “Dame could leave”.. seems like BS

                  People are bringing up when Billups was accused of rape back in 97(never charged, denied it and settled a civil suit BTW)and now they’re coming at Dame because he was one of the guys he wanted to become coach when he was asked by the team and folks are saying he should’ve been aware of Billups issue from 20 years ago and that he’s lying about not knowing.

                  And they’re saying they only used names like Becky Hammon and Mike D’antoni for the whole diversity route and knew all along they were going to hire Billups.

                  It’s not Cancel culture trying to play a role but it’s getting awfully close.

                    What would the price for Lillard even be?

                      That's funny cause Chris Haynes is being reported as the first legit source to the Dame leaving narrative and Blazers fans are freaking out

                        Kuzma KCP and a late first round pick. That's what he's worth.

                        Trust me.

                          I've seen people saying from the Raptors side that if they want him, the 4th overall pick would obviously be a part of that deal.

                          I wonder if Masai could pull off another insane move for another disgruntled star.

                            I'm guessing something similar to the James Harden package. But, I guess it depends on the asking team whether Portland wants to rebuild or retool. Obviously 2-3 1st round picks/swaps. What else is included, depends on the asking team. If I say Harden and Lillard were the same age at the time of request, the value should be fairly similar. Harden might have the "better resume", but Lillard has less baggage and probably seen as more clutch.

                            For Philly, I would do the Simmons package Rockets wanted. Which is Simmons, Maxey, Matisse, and 2-3 1st round picks. I would do that deal. I don't really want to give up Matisse, if I'm losing Ben's defense. I would like to swap Milton with one of those players. But, I wouldn't let that be the hang up point. I would do that trade and figure everything else.

                            I do think Philly would have one of the better player asset deals. Yes, Simmons has the Recency Bias against him, well deserved. But, you would hope the move humbles him and smaller market lessens the pressure on him. Matisse has DPOY potential if he continues to develop on offense. I do think Maxey has star-like potential with his effortless ability to get to the rim, hardworking, shot creating potential. I do think either Portland wants him out of conference or best possible deal. Lakers would need a third deal. Miami if not including Butler and Bam, those younger players don't have as much value as last year. Knicks, outside of Randle and Barrett, don't know what young assets they could put together. Maybe bias as Sixers fan, but they do have one of the better player assets. But, I could see a 3+ team deal as well

                                I personally want to see Dame in Philly with Embiid or Dallas with Luka.
