Oh crap i didn't mention Simons my bad. Instant reactions for ya. If Jrue is on the team then him/Sharpe/Simons will be something to figure out starting 5 wise https://twitter.com/FunkyDiabetic1
Grest trade but considering they sacrificed the last 3 years of there stars prime, and wouldn't trade him where he wanted to go after showing loyalty to them throughout it, this new blazers ownership group isn't getting any free agents for awhile, I wouldn't be surprised if the players are unhappy about how this saga played out.
Those Bucks picks could end up being extremely valuable. In 3 years, Brook Lopez will be one hundred years old, Khris Middletons body will probably break down and Dame will be past his prime. Then Giannis is in the late summer of his prime and the Bucks have nothing left to put talent around him. Unless they suddenly become THE free agent destination I expect Giannis to leave after their window has closed and then the Bucks will be dead in the water. Still, for the Bucks it's absolutely worth it. Their window is no open wide and all they need to do is win.
My two favorite players not on my team are now on the same team together… I'm now not a low key bucks fan (what I've been for years). I'm now just a straight up bandwaggoning bucks fan. Fear the Deer!
The nurkic pickup feels like suns admitting that ayton wouldn't be featured even as a fourth option. Nurkic fits more of the big man type they'll utilize more. Still not the best trade, but they have given themselves rotation flexibility and won't have to play the big 3, 35+ mins a night.
I feel like Ayton being moved was solely for locker room purposes. He didnāt want to be there, and this was probably their best option to get off his contract and get something in return
Booker and James Jones were sick of Ayton, itās that simple. 5 The relationship was severed and the suns jumped at the chance at getting rid of him for a starting center and rotation pieces
in my opinion blazers lost this trade jrue ayton and picks for dame thats not great in my opinion bucks won this trade i mean dame and giannis thats just scary suns did also pretty good grayson nurkic and little for ayton thas a good trade for the suns now they have a bench
Maybe a bit of a hot take, but with Ayton's off court drama, inconsistent playoff performance, and lack of improvement; Nurkic is an improvement. On paper he is not a better player, but when it comes down to raw execution, at least Nurkic will look like he gives a crap. With all the fire power the Sun's can put on the floor they won't need Ayton, especially when you hit the playoffs and he becomes a Ben Simmons clone most of the time.

I hope jrue gets traded somewhere to compete Atleast. Heās a good dude.
the Giannis wall is basically defunct.
The suns defense is now anchored by a white man.
Pity
Bucks got smashed by the heats 3 point shooters last season. so they trade away their best small defender. Bold strategy lmao
This was a great trade for the suns Grayson Allen a big get off the bench
The Celtics still have the better team

Suns fans how we feeling? IMO,we got a nice package
Suns high key got a real deal team now
The Bucks just secured Giannis for life
Suns just want Beal and KD to get Aytons shots.
Bad trade for Milwaukee, Holiday is all you want your PG to be and Lillard is not as good as advertised.

So many NBA "insiders" don't a have clue what goes on until after a deal gets done š
All Giannis has to do is not sign his extensions for a milisecond and the Bucks Front Office hires Saul Goodman to do some swindling.
Did he just completely ignore Simons? Portland has loads of talent
So are they better than Celtics now or not yet?

I canāt believe the Bucks were able to keep Middleton. I thought he wouldāve gotten traded.
Crazy you didnāt mention anfernee simons he is the blazers new franchise player

Two baby faced killers
Celtics must be regretting trading away Smart, their best chance at guarding lillard.
The Bucka turned Bledsoe into Lillard

Nurkic is a much better passer than Ayton. The Suns need that more than anything that Ayton brings to the table.
The Backup PG Job is going to be very interesting for the Bucks.
They have at least 3 young guys that will be gunning for that spot.
Bad trade for Phoenix. They got a great return for a toxic player, but they went from being the best team in the NBA to being the 3rd best team.
Imagine the space giannis is gonna have now with dame having the threat of pulling up from the logo lol. I hate this lmao
if the blazers kept jrue thatd be kind of an interesting starting five

Lillard said that he would only show up to one of two teamsā¦ will he show up?
This may be easy for Milwaukee
Freak time!!!
the bucks have no bench >.> its a 82 game season… the suns got the best part of this trade.. good luck
Shoulda went to dallas
