The Trail Blazers are the winners of this whole thing tbh.. getting ayton with that young squad & Adding more picks plus having jure holiday to possibly acquire more. Such amazing trade negotiations by Portland !
I don't understand why the Heat didn't get another team involved like the Bucks just did
Every game in 2k online will be Bucks vs Suns now.
Tbh I'm more optimistic about this then when Beal came to Suns.
Now is just how Bucks defense need to be set up
The bucks only have 5 players onntheir team. Giannis, Dame, Middleton, Bobby, lopez…who is gonna give them rest? Malik and Jae? Lakers and Suns still deeper
take note Sixers management, that is how you don't waste your MVP talent
I think the Blazers lose this trade solely because Jrue Holiday's recent statements. Him saying he wanted to be a Buck for life, and wanting to retire at the end of his current contract (1 year + player option). Teams might be skeptical if he would even accept the player option if they trade for him, which would tank his value.
Butler should go there also when his contract is up they would be like the 60s Celtics
If i was a opposing coach, i would trap Lillard on the pick and roll and let Giannas go crazy. Id rather give up 2 points rather than 3 and pray. 🙏 😂
Lol at the heat
What a great deal for the bucks but what about the depth? The suns strike again with very good additions. I still see the nuggets untouchable
It's perfect for Ayton, the blazers not going to make any playoff run in the west. Little expectations, more days off ,same big $$$ received.
Woj did all of this
Holiday to the bulls
C – Brook
F – Giannis
F – Crowder
G – Khris
G – Dame
Bench: Portis, Beauchamp, Connaughton
Dame + Giannis would be a deadly duo.
Suns got depth
C – Nurkic
F – KD
G – Grayson
G – Book
G – Beal
Bench: Gordon, Bol Bol, Little, Okogie
Lets hope they win something in the next 2 years because the late 2020's and early 2030's are going to be pretty rough lol
Tyler Hero needs to play very good for the Heat.
Championship or bust.
Blazers lost this trade… a 1st, 2 pick swaps, and ayton (who has never made a allstar as a top ten big in a league with minimal bigs). Blazers said they need a superstar but don’t know how to get one when Miami was able to give them 3 1st and they could’ve traded herro for two more smh to get a Joel, Giannis, jaylen brown, Julius randle, markkanen, or kat smh
I am not a Bucks fan but I am hoping Lillard will not be injured sooner or later.
