This Dame trade, it's like asking my parents a trip to Disneyland and instead they decided to punish me sending me to europe for daring them to request a trip to Orlando lol.
There are 40 guards in the NBA that can do exactly what Herro can do at the same level or better there is absolutely zero upside to herro even if you trade him for picks therefore taking the gamble on Ayton makes so much sense and by the time he reaches his prime Portland should have a kind of young Scoot ready to leap as an all star Portland will be fun to watch in 4-5 years they are rebuilding well.
I loved the trade for Portland almost as much I did for Milwaukee. Ayton was a #1 pick and people at the time were debating him or Doncic to go number 1. I thought he was a bad fit in Phoenix once they started to get good/
I think Holiday easily goes for multiple late first round picks. At least 2. He was still and all star and all defensive player last year and the Bucks 2nd best player. I can see a lot of contenders interested in his service. So overall the package they got is clearly miles better than the Heat deal.
Dude you do this for a living. The blazers got Ayton for Nurkic and Grayson Allen. They could've still gotten Ayton in a trade with Miami pretty easily
Miami offered their trash and then said they wanted portland to tell them what they wanted so they can meet in the middle , so portland said Bam or jimmy. Miami never came back with the middle offer.
cronin and dame are snakes fir wheeling and dealing and using the miami finals run to draw attention to themselves and to further push hidden agendas and to air their organization's dirty laundry.
Baa baa Blazers Have You Any Wool? YES SIR! YES SIR! 3 BAGS FULL!
One for the MASTER and One for the DAME.And one for the LITTLE FRANCHISE THAT LIVES DOWN THE LANE.
Wth, I mean Jrue was worth 4 1st round picks + 2 swaps few years ago. He still worth a whole lot more than a single late 1st round for a contender squad imo
We will get some pieces for jru. Ayton will have a larger role. And Dame got traded to a contender. Love that man for an excellent decade in RIP city. Happy for him. Lets go Scoot.
Yes, they did. Since they're not going to put in actual effort to try to put a winning team around Dame, they made the right decision by starting to rebuild for the future. Because let's be honest, Ayton and Jrue Holiday aren't going to push the needle when it comes to winning
I'm sorry but the blazers got robbed. They traded the greatest player they've had this century for jrue holiday, deandre ayton, and a draft pick thats still a freshman in high school

Ayton underrated AF

I agree with you but you’re not giving Nurkic the value he deserves. Him alone is worth around a first rounder.
Miami and their fans too cocky to offer that hahaha they deserve this L
"Gonna take a fly on this big soft guy"
What?! Deandre Ayton is just 25?
The heat need to start building up their assets with the aging team they have.
I think Deandre Ayton can blossom into a star now that he's on a young team and he doesn't have to worry about the pressure.
I think Holiday easily goes for multiple late first round picks. At least 2. He was still and all star and all defensive player last year and the Bucks 2nd best player.

Great post. Thank you. Also Please close your closet door.
watch how deandre aytons game falll offf big time……….. remember how cp3s centers drastically increase their stats.
MDJ the type of YouTuber that I leave a like on the vid before even watching

I read on some video, one of the comments said the Blazers are collecting big man busts like Pokemon (Ayton, Bowie, Oden) and I’m creasin 😂😂
Excelent rational comparison of packages.
Yes everyone won in this trade. Never seen a big trade happened and everyone wins
No they did not. Jaime, jovic, Caleb + 2-3 FRP is a way better package
Ayton isn't that great. Guy just doesn't have that drive to get rebounds, and his development of his offense game hasn't happened.

Great analysis. My favorite NBA channel right now.
I hate the Suns but they definitely got deeper after this trade. Their FO been putting in work.
Ayton is trash
I'm sorry but the blazers got robbed. They traded the greatest player they've had this century for jrue holiday, deandre ayton, and a draft pick thats still a freshman in high school
But they also traded away Nurkic (starting center) Little (rotation wing )and Keon Johnson (3rd stringer at best)
For some reason I'm more excited about what Portland had gotten than Dame went to the bucks 😅.
