Dame Lillard wants to play with Ben Simmons, Jalen Brown, or Aaron Gordon

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

JUST SAY YOU DONT WATCH
BASKETBALL....

YOU:
"Only problem with that notion is that Simmons has made well known that he wants no part of playing any other position outside of PG. If that was the case, Philly would have tried it already"


REALITY:
SIMMONS PLAYED PF IN
THE BUBBLE AKA REAL GAMES.

THATS THE DIRECTION THE
TEAM WAS GOING WITH HIM.

DOC CAME IN AND MOVED
HIM BACK TO PG

​

Scrimmages don't count as real games breh

When the games actually counted and mattered most, Simmons was being trotted out there as a PG. You experiment during the regular season and not waiting until the bubble to do so.

YOU DONT KNOW
WHAT PORTLAND WILL HAVE
IF THEY MAKE THIS TRADE.

IM SURE A LOT OF PIECES
WILL BE MOVED AROUND.

​

Will be moved how? The majority of their roster consists of expiring contracts of players that aren't coveted like that by teams nor do they have any actual assets to attach to those expiring to get a meaningful return.

Those are the only jobs we get

He didn't have to take the job when it's clear Portland was going nowhere. In addition, Chauncey is talking wild reckless to these dudes., it sounds like a bad mix all around.

This is why being an NBA GM is so hard. I wouldn’t max any 6’0 guard no matter who. You just can’t. But teams box themselves in. Look at Ja Morant. Everyone loves that guy but I’m not maxing him fukk that

My opinion is they should treat these 6’0 guards like how the NFL treats RBs. What’s the point of drafting these midgets in the lottery when they can’t lead you to a title?

Ja Morant is the same height if not taller than Steph Curry. Are you telling me Curry is not worth maxing and can't lead a team to the title?

 

[Guile]

dame needs to be playing well to make these claims

 

[King Poetic]

Tired of this wannabe tone loc rapper

he had a choice to leave

Ja Morant is the same height if not taller than Steph Curry. Are you telling me Curry is not worth maxing and can't lead a team to the title?

Goddam what the fukk man

How you gonna quote and say Steph and Ja are the same size?

Steph is 6’3!

 

[Collateral]

Ja Morant is the same height if not taller than Steph Curry. Are you telling me Curry is not worth maxing and can't lead a team to the title?

Ja Morant can’t shoot like Steph Curry

 

[CarltonJunior]

Goddam what the fukk man

Steph is 6’3!

Everywhere has Ja at 6'3" or 6'4"

 

[CarltonJunior]

Ja Morant can’t shoot like Steph Curry

His post is that he wouldn't max a midget. If Ja is a midget and he's the same height as Steph, I'm asking if he'd max Steph

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Everywhere has Ja at 6'3" or 6'4"

Yeah that got him at 6’3 but his play style is reckless to me…

He looks mad small too but yeah.

Steph and Cp3 and Isiah are just 3 little guys that led their teams to titles..

Just 3!

The odds are these little guys cant lead you to a title

As good as Dame is, he's not that great. You're not Winning with him as your best player.

At this point of his career he needs to accept that and become a secondary star or link up with other stars. But I always felt Dame likes being the #1 even if it meant not winning a chip.

CJ would be nice on philly on the low. Him and Seth on the perimeter would complement Embiid very well.

It's clear as day dame is angling for a super max.
If the trailblazer were smart they would trade him for picks.
I always preferred CJ to dame.
I think dames game is easier to exploit in the playoffs.
I would not want a super max mid 30s 6 footer not named Chris Paul.
Ceiling is 2 nd round appearance.
