    Pairing Brown with Dame would make it really interesting in the West, the Blazers already were the 7th Seed this past season.

    I love Brown’s personality and I respect his game. But we don’t need him, we need a complete tear down.

    I personally do not think they need a tear down. I think they need to make a decision between Amen and Sengun.

    I do not see how we can have 2 non shooters on the floor at the same time. It almost seems like this team does not know what direction they want to go in and they are just evaluating the young players for now.

    The irony here is that the Mavs did this and STILL found a franchise level guy before Stone.

    You’re right, they need to pick a direction. As far as the choice between Amen and Sengun, neither is good enough to be a Championship caliber #1 and likely never will be.

    We need to sell high on both, Dickerson was well

    Adding Jaylen Brown is like spending $50K for a new kitchen in a house with a cracked foundation. With or without Brown, you aren't even sniffing the finals when your other wing can't shoot. There's no path to contending if you're starting Amen Thompson.

    Now then, if you're the 3rd team in a Bucks-Celtics Giannis deal, and you're shipping Amen to the Bucks for Jaylen, that I would be interested in.

    why not just say you have to trade amen since there are less than a handful of starting caliber centers who can shoot and none of them are available

    Try and put some names out there without saying myles turner

    Okongwu/Kel'el Ware would be perfect for this team. Again this could also be Centers who can shoot from mid range. Sengun was below average past 10 feet.

    Its not a guarantee someone who can shoot from midrange will even offset his lack of shooting

    The hawks have their own amen in dyson daniels to take care of. My point really is that you need to find a very particular type of player to pair with someone who isnt even worth building around

    We get Okongwu and within a month we'll be hearing complaints about how small he is at C.

    You are not wrong at all. I prefer they choose a direction and stick with it. Honestly, I do not think we have a future 1A player on the team, but I also believe you cannot build around a player who cannot shoot in todays game.

    We get anyone and within a month we'll be hearing complaints. KD made All NBA Team 2 and got cooked for his turnovers and passiveness.

    Because the draft is the only way to find a franchise level guy.

    The Mavs found three, our current ownership group had found zero.

    The front office believes Amen can be a top tier player. At least that’s what they are saying publicly.

    It’s unrealistic.

    The rise and fall of the Ime Rockets is epic.
    23: Rising young team - Green and Sungun budding stars
    24: Pre season darlings - backed up with 2nd best record - Green gets exposed in the playoffs
    25- Trade Green for KD - Decent season filled with glaring problems - Sengun/Eason/Amen all get exposed
    26- Blow up the team
