Taking his money and running. He just happens to have a run to the WCF in his bag. He's 32 years old now coming off of an injury plagued year where he was the least efficient he has ever been in his career. Still has 3 years/$135M left on his deal too, seems like the best route for both sides would be a trade this off-season. The Blazers can still get a nice haul before he falls off a cliff and Dame can ideally go to a situation where he can compete for a title before he's out of his prime.

I just don't see a viable contender, with assets, that'll trade for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 Dyson Daniels is basically Josh Giddey but better defensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Quinn likely stepping down, it seems likely that we'll hire Dame's good friend and mentor, Johnnie Bryant as his replacement. Too bad we don't have the assets to acquire him and the fact that Dame/Don would be terrible defensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh I don't like either comparison for him. A bigger Lonzo Ball / Josh Giddey w elite defense is a better comparison for what I think he could be. He has one of the higher floors in the lottery, might not ever be a star but should definitely be a plus role player at worst.

You are basically saying he is an elite passer. I dont see that with Daniels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
