    Could’ve gave Klay and some young guys for him. Would’ve been good.

    Cool but there’s no way we could have complied that salary or the rest of their asks. And he wouldn’t really fit what we have (and luxury taxes would be insane for 3 more years at least).

  3. ImperialTiger3

    No thank you. A trade for him would’ve killed our depth and ruined our future flexibility.

  4. While this would’ve been awesome, the package would’ve been terrible and include players we wouldn’t want to lose.

  5. swiftycent

    Lol. Tbh this makes little sense. Dame isn’t at cp3 point in career. No way he’s wanting to be curry’s #2

    mid-season deal may still be possible if Dame ain’t traded in the offseason. The problem is, who is coming off the bench?

  7. beezybreezy

    Dame would have been a bad fit. Klay isn’t a great defender anymore but our back court would have been very undersized and weak defensively with Curry+Dame.

  8. lezzgooooo

    If that went through this would be KD all over again

    I had interest of eating McDonald’s before I went to sleep

  10. The CP3 trade is just as much as shredding his salary after this season for the new CBA luxury tax penalties which kicks in next season. Dame’s salary would mean losing one if not two of the OG3. Also, CP3 is a much better fit this season at least he is at the point of his career where running the second unit is not such an insult.

    If one is honest with this, one should notice that it would be hard squeezing Dame into the system. I doubt that he would come of the bench easily like CP3 may now. Also would you want to start Klay as SF, who has lost some of his defensive skill after two serious injuries? Also it would mean a massive disrespect to him, which is not consistent with the procedure of appreciating him with an extension during his injury. And I don’t really see the three guard lineup either. Firepower be as it may

    I love his spirit and I hope he gets to play in Oakland some day. No harm in trying, right!

    I think FO was smart not making the trade.
    It would have gutted the future and depth.
    And the fit would be like with DLo.

    Package would have been either

    – JP & Wiggs + picks
    – JP, JK, PBJ and moody + picks

  14. Sh4d0wM00N

    I like Dame but I don’t think he fit and CP3 fit better.

  15. depravityseance

    We know he’d like to play here and deserves to. It would be fun.

  16. Nightmannn

    One way street. Dame is an Oakland legend but there’s no way we could make it make sense

  17. Nessmuk58

    Makes no sense at all at his salary. His contribution and style of play would conflict with our existing skill set and offense, not complement it. Poole’s salary would left us ~$18 million short of Dame’s, so who else were we going to ship to POR? Wiggs? Klay? Draymond?

  18. Blade3rd

    It makes no sense, but i would’ve been down for the chaos lol. Also Dame repping Oakland would be pretty dope.
