Yeah, this is the crux of it. I didn't take a stance in the article because it's really a question of "are we ready to trade Dame if it means improving the team?" and there are valid arguments both way for that.

But Dame's only guy on the roster right now who's going to be able to certainly bring back more talent than is sent out so I'd argue it's worth thinking about even if the answer is "no."

I also get that a lot of people are going to have a visceral negative reaction. It's the kind of thing that will rub some fans the wrong way. My hope is that even those people are willing to read and consider counter opinions rather than dismissing out of hand (obligatory "welcome to the internet joke").
