Honestly, they should just cut him. Who would willingly trade for this guy, even if you’re getting picks out of it??? This guy is a trash human being for what he did.

Would be curious if they move them anytime soon though - maybe closer to trade deadline. McGee’s contract seems to be a deal-breaker for many.

Who would’ve though that Dame would make a bigger fuss than Durant with his demands? Sheesh…

Forreal, dude is crushing it. Probably making a killing off those commissions!

Darn it, not surprised but oh well…

All depends on what they’re expecting out of the Lillard negotiations I suppose. Let me dream haha

Yeah… 2nd rounders and create a $7M TPE isn’t really a great return. But considering they were wanting a first for a sign and trade, I guess they had to accept whatever the market actually gave.

Wowowo, Nico is making some moves! Now if the Mavs can flip THJ + McGee for a center, the roster will be looking great.

Wow, huge pickup for the Mavs. Great defender and a wing, where we desperately needed more players

I’m surprised as well. I think it boils down to not many other teams with that much larger offers, so it sounded like fit was more important for him. Either way, I feel like that’s a great deal for the Clips.

I absolutely feel he’s worth more than that. Sucks to see him go as I thought he was a good fit but hopefully with a bigger role, he’ll shine

Wow, I know he’s a good defender and all but that’s a lot of money + years committed.

Wow, cheap deal and he definitely looked to be more in his element with them last year. Good signing.

Honestly, good for them. They shouldn’t just get nothing good in return for Dame

“Powell has agreed to a three-year, $12 million deal, sources said.”

… I mean I guess that’s not bad. I would’ve HIGHLY preferred the vet minimum though.

Reaves went from a two-way contract to a standard minimum contract in 2021 NBA training camp – and now less than two years later, cashes in on the maximum allowable salary from the Lakers.

Great question…

I imagine the Heat will have to give up some combination of Herro + either Duncan Robinson or Lowry + several of their first round picks. Not a great deal at all for the Blazers unless negotiations involve moving Nurkic who’s owed something like 54M over the next 3 years.

Lillard, Richardson, Butler, Adebayo, Nurkic would be interesting. But apart from that, no more depth on the bench with Vincent and Strus gone. The pickup of Thomas Bryant is fine and Kevin Love is just more a vet presence.

I agree… It really feels like that era of staying with one team for one’s entire career is over for so many players. I’ll always value championships like Dirk’s run in 2011 that much more because of it.

I’d be down for Discord cuz it could let us have a place for discussion for the community here as well!

Really shocked that it looks like not only is Lillard requesting a trade, but specifically to the Miami Heat. Definitely limits what kind of return the Blazers can get…
