If you’re Portland you’ve got to be absolutely stupid to take the Heats deal over our deal.

No contest.

They are not taking any meh deal from Miami anyway, and nothing we offer is going to keep LM on this roster without getting outbid either. Our picks won't be good in Portland's eyes if that is all they want is picks, especially given the picks that we have that are not ours are getting worse and worse, The Wolves are still fringe 500 and probably better etc. Cavs are on the rise. Our only real assets are current roster stand outs that Portland would take over say Memphis with JA and picks, NY with any guard and picks, OKC with 2 or 3 young players and picks, hell even ORL and SAS are just as in play if not more than us, from a pick value standpoint if we are unwilling to send LM.
All that being said I like Memphis as the sleeper team to trade Morant and some picks for Dame. Can you imagine a Ja and Scoot backcourt holy shot

What offer? To my knowledge we haven’t made one and IMO there is no concrete evidence the jazz are interested or that they even will make an offer.

We can obviously blow any Heat deal out of the water.

Who else would we realistically be competing against that could give more than the Heat?

We just need to beat the next best offer.

Be careful with that, the Knicks thought that too and got blindsided.
 
From The Hoops Collective Podcast:

MacMahon throws out the Jazz as a sleeper Dame team. He says the Jazz are at the minimum very intrigued by the possibility.

Windhorst says the Jazz are a lurker.

They talk about the potential package being Sexton/KO/THT plus one young guys and picks.

Windhorst said Dame and Collins would do some damage to the league.

MacMahon says the Jazz would be a threat in the West with Dame.

Windhorst makes a good point saying the chance for Utah to trade for a star is rare and it’s even more rare for that star to have 4 years left on his deal.

MacMahon says the reason you stockpile picks like the Jazz have is to go after a star and they can’t be that selective. They need to take their swing when they can.

MacMahon says he expects Utah to have some level of discussions whether it is for Dame or to help facilitate a Dame deal.

It sounds like we are being opportunistic with Dame, so I don't think we are worried about being out bid, we'll only do the deal if it's at the price we like.

I think that's the key is to not outbid ourselves. Danny is good about setting a price on a player and sticking to it, come hell or high water. The rumored teams can, in no way, outbid Utah, but neither do we want to pay a premium on that. Lauri, Kessler, and probably Ochai are off limits in my mind. A package around Sexy, THT, and KO, 3 picks (LAL, one Cleveland, one Minne), and the Cleveland swap gets that done in my mind as that gives Porty some youth, salary relief (5m immediately, KO & THT expiring), and some picks that'll have value.
