Zeller for Lillard who says no
Bam really is our best recruiter since Wade lol
Bam seems to be one of the most well liked guys in the NBA among his peers
Not now Dame. We are busy
You had your chance Dame, but you chose to re-sign instead.
aww shit
Us bam fans keep trying to tell ya that anybody who comes here wants to play with bam
A big three of Jimmy, Bam, and Dame would actually be absurd.
Wow. I mean, I’m sick and tired of Dame trade ideas just as much as the next guy, but damn. This is actually the first time Dame himself even entertaining the idea of him being traded, let alone mentioning his preferred destination. It’s a long shot but I’m hard as fuck rn.
Looks like Star is back on the menu boys

My man, Bam. Top HEAT recruiter
Is this a long shot? 100%
Is Jimmy’s window closing? Yes
Is dames window closing? Yes
Can this team repeat this again the next 2-3 years while Jimmy is exiting his prime? Most likely not
I’m not insinuating anything, but if we can get dame to go for a few more championships while their windows are closing, that would be incredible.
Am I holding my breath for this to happen? Absolutely not lmao but a man can dream
Ideally I wish this could happen without including Tyler or Caleb but a combination of the two would probably be included in a trade to get Dame
Package Herro/Martin/Lowry + picks. Let’s Portland keep their #3 pick instead of trading it for another failed retool attempt and gives them a young core to build around with a vet to help bring some consistency in.
Gives us a big 3 of Dame/Butler/Bam even if there’s an expiration date on 2 of those stars. Tbh this seems like a win win for both franchises.
Portland isn’t going to be able to get enough talent around Dame before his prime is up.
Another L for the weird bam haters
Herro, Lowry, Jovic, picks
Not ths time for this but the section of fanbase that wanted to use Bam for Dame was wildin like Bam not the main attraction for a PG like Dame smh
Bam and Jimmy’s defense can anchor it and make up for Lillard’s liability while he can cook on offense
Let’s focus on this series though
Imagine wanting to trade Bam when it’s been abundantly clear for a while now that, 1) he’s really good, and 2) other stars love him and would want to come here to play with him.
That random YouTube comment prophecy is looking true. We win this chip and repeat with dame next year
Celtics fans seething no one wants to go to their shitty franchise
Task at hand ladies and gentlemen!! we worry about the off-season when we get there… but also 👀👀
We over here tryna win a fucking championship and this nigga flirting with us😂😂😂
This getting me excited but we just don’t have the assets. And I’m not trading jimmy or bam
