Seriously...Dame???

What in your honest opinion do you think it would take to get Dame from Portland? I continue to read reports/rumors about teams like Toronto being interested. I feel like New Orleans has the best trade assets to make a deal, but what would you give that Portland would except?

Multiple Picks? Dyson? Lewis? Marshall? EJ? Nance?

Unless they (or a 3rd team) would take CJ, I see no reason to even think about it. Not sure I want his contract at his age- 4 more years/$172 million for a 33 year old. That is a huge risk both in cash/cap and assets it would take to get him. CJ has 3 years/$100 million left on his deal, so that would mitigate the risk a bit.

It would take me giving up any hope of a chip in the next 10 years.

Not just a 33 year old, but a tiny 33 year old who, at his defensive peak, still never got better than neutral. Who also doesn't function well without the ball in his hands 90% of the time.
