Does Dame just really want to play with Jimmy? I kind of understand not wanting to play for the Sixers with Harden wanting out their future is not super certain but the Celtics have a good roster. Not that they would want to trade for him, just seems a bit surprising to me that it's basically the heat or nothing for him.

Was there competition for him? This seems like a gigantic overpay especially after Memphis saying he wouldn't return under any circumstances.

Damn that's a lot of money.

I think you are right, I don't know if they will be able to top the play-in. Those games are must watch for me no matter who is playing. It is awesome they try different things cause if they find something just as exciting as the play-ins that would be awesome!

Yeah I do agree the blazers should do what's best for them but if Dame has said he will be unhappy anywhere but Miami, they probably aren't gonna get great offers for an angry Dame.

Yeah I know luka and porzingis didn't fit well together but I just have a hard time believing kyrie is going to be better. I think the team is still pretty far from being a legit championship contender.

Thanks! I just hope they can get a decent team around Luka. He is a ton of fun to watch but needs a good big.

It's a fun community to be a part of! Off topic question, which apps are you all using? I'm using connect for lemmy and I like the layout a lot but it has a lot of connection issues. May not be the app though.

Same here! I suck at fps games but had a bunch of friends talk me in to getting this one since it was only $15. I still really suck at shooting, I have 10 kills and 40 deaths so far but I'm rank 12 and having a blast playing as a medic. I usually don't even have a gun out. I don't really know how to get better, I just have a hard time seeing enemies before I'm dead, but I don't really have to get better at that part cause I have gotten better as a medic.

No surprise. I still don't understand this team but they had to max him.

To the surprise of no one!

Is this a max deal? I suppose anything less than that is probably good for the mavs even though it seems like there wasn't much competition in keeping in.

I can't tell if I'm crazy or not but I like Jaylen Brown for Dame for both teams. I think that trade would make the Celtics the best in the east and the blazers get a younger talent who they could try and put some players around.

Very curious where he ends up. Article says heat and nets. To me the nets don't make sense, it's almost the same situation he is in in Portland. The heat just made the finals, I don't know how much they would be willing to give up to get him.
