Dame: trade me to the Mavs
Oshey: they're offering 3 picks in the 20s, Brunson, and a poo poo platter. No thanks.
Dame: trade me to the Mavs
Oshey: or what? We just traded you to the Knicks. You can report there or go on the suspended list.
AD had the threat he wouldn't sign an extension with any team but the Lakers. Dame is locked in long term.
I mean, I'm not saying you have nothing valid here, because it is tough to imagine.
But, seems like Portland probably learned just as much from the Harden/Houston, Davis/NO things as we did.

I think Nico could help. But I think Kidd absolutely helps. I really think word was out on Rick and nobody wanted to play here with him. Kidd has had stars wanting him to be their coach (Lebron and Dame) and stars that have loved him like Giannis. It sounds like he's had some guys not like him too... But I've always heard more guys wanting him than anyone specifically having issue with him.
I'm not saying he wouldn't want to come here, just that it's the biggest mountain to overcome. It's not even possible without that, and it's naive to start assuming this will be the case, imo.
