So glad to see Dame on the Bucks instead of the Heat getting him for nothing. Damn that's going to be a of a fun team to watch.
And he was younger, but he was comparing the pick hauls and thinking they were the same, and they weren't

DJ might not have the explosiveness, but a better all-around player plus 50 yrs younger.
Homerun for the Bucks: Probably secured Antetokounmpo through his prime. Lillard is a perfect fit to fix their clogged crunch time offense, his game should age well and they don't need him to be their best player anyway. Are probably favorites to win the championship. To nitpick, guard defense is weak.
Possible homerun for the Trail Blazers, pending Holiday trade to probably 76ers (with Harden to Clippers or maybe Clippers or Heat trade for former instead) for significant draft capital. Ayton makes far more sense than Nurkic.
Single for Suns. Gets rid of expensive malcontent and adds depth, but weakened already suspect defense and might only have three players good enough to close high stakes playoff games.
At the Craptors, who we otherwise would have heard their media buddies pretend were looming boogeyman for Antetokounmpo ad nauseam and instead remain irrelevant. But hey, at least they got their precious 15 seconds of fame again.
Yeah, I see this as a win for the Blazers. You don't want to sit on a star player who wants out, because the offers will keep becoming less and less at time goes on and other teams smell desperation. The draft capital should be lucrative (even if they decide to leverage any of that in trades) and Holiday should draw a lot of interest.Homerun for the Bucks: Probably secured Antetokounmpo through his prime.

And certainly for Milwaukee this is huge. They were at risk for losing Giannis, and now they're the clear favorites in the East.
Jrue Holiday potentially being available to trade for was not on my bingo card at the beginning of this off-season
Holiday, Conley, Lowry, Tyus Jones… who will it be to help solidify the Spurs to a respectable standing? Or are we still tanking??
well there goes the Lowry consolidation pipe dream
Bend over, I'll give you a pipe dream
You think Miami still doesn't need a bench?
the scenario especially made sense in a world where miami lost herro/robinson and or jaquez jr and guys like bullock/osman would fill those gaps, and where Lowry was otherwise a 30 million backup to Dame
They lost 2, 3 guys to FA already. I think they've been shopping Lowry already, too.
Lowry may have been salary ballast to make a Lillard or other trade work. It was either him or Duncan Robinson, though his contract runs longer. Now that Lillard is off the board they may aim for Jrue or even Harden.
Jrue's salary is insane, btw.
Dodged a bullet. Still room on our roster for Kevin Tran.

[Passons] Miami had an offer for Lillard that everyone except Portland agreed on: Lillard to Miami. Herro to San Antonio. Nurkic and Little to Brooklyn. Ben Simmons, Lowry, Duncan, Jovic, 3 1sts, 2 swaps to Portland. Miami was willing to add Caleb as well.

Dame deal had framework that everyone agreed on but Portland.
Lowry, Duncan, Jovic, (possibly JJJ), 3 firsts, 2 swaps to Portland.
Herro to SA,
Ben Simmons to Portland, Nurk and Nas to Brooklyn
Everyone agreed but Portland said no. Miami was then ready to add Caleb to the fold, Per Source
The beat writers are indicating that Riley hasn't actually been in touch with Portland much at all. And that they never got much beyond Herro plus a couple picks.
Don’t get distracted by these small trades, the FO will not let the big catch (i.e., Kevin Tran) get away.
Looks like Portland did the right choice by waiting finally...
Yup. The media and fans were pushing so hard for Portland to just rip the bandaid off, but they remained patient and got a much better deal and Dame goes to a better team. Win-win.
Another supermax bites the dust
You’re like hours late.
I'm curious if the Spurs attempted something here?
Why? They said they were rolling with what they have. Do you think they lied?
