Dame Time

[vegas]

Remember CP3 being such an overpay? I remember wishing we got him over Conley in hindsight. CP3 was viewed as done, but had way more in the tank than expected. That's the question with Dame. It's hard to know how much is left and how he ages. I have always loved his style and hope he lands somewhere special. No idea if utah is the right fit.

What's a realistic package that lands us Dame?

The Suns traded Oubre, Rubio and a 1st for CP3.

I think it would definitely take more picks to land Dame.

No to Dame..... and i love Dame.

If we don't go to Dame, what are the other option to be good asap? i'm a bit worry Lauri may not be very happy if we suck next year.

Jazz probably won't suck next year. They didn't suck this year and that was with them trying to dismantle the roster. Not saying they will be world beaters,but look how damn weak the west is. Making at least the play in wint be that difficult

Maybe I should use the words negative value. I'm pointing out the consensus was his contract was overpaid and people thought he would not be able to provide much positive impact, then the consensus was proven wrong.

I will forever wonder if getting CP3 instead of Conley would’ve won us a championship with that group

I don’t know…. You’d think that they’d probably try to do right by him and send him to a team that he would want to be on. If we’re on that short list (which seems like a fair assumption), we’re basically the only team with assets that could get it done.

As far as Dame's value... I think Donovan is likely a comp. So Sexton, Ochai, 3 firsts seems pretty fair. Add in THT and Gay as expirings so we still have ability to maneuver. I think age and contract value would actually have Donovan as a more valued asset even though Dame is a better player.

It feels about right to me too... as I would want to do it for less and would be hesitant given his age and contract. Portland loves to tank so they can continue with that for a couple more years and build up the asset base of the franchise.

But Mitchell is much younger and much less injury prone.

Did you read the part where I stated Dame is older … it’s the comp with a little less because of the age and contract. There won’t be perfect comps…that is about as close as you can get to perfect.
