who do you think Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Three team trade and it seems like everyone did at least okay. Milwaukee was already a contender and got the best player in the trade, although it's a shame Lillard's antics got rewarded. Phoenix probably got better by getting rid of Ayton and adding Nurkic and Allen. Portland's haul is decent on paper anyway. Ayton is a stiff but Holiday can be rerouted for something and by the time those picks come up the Bucks might well be in the toilet.

It really sucks to lose Jrue Holiday. He was only around for three years, but that's all he needed to cement himself in Bucks lore and he was one of the most beloved players in franchise history to boot. The Bucks had to make this trade, but that doesn't make it any easier. On the other hand.... HOLY S#!T WE GOT DAME!!!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_YouKnowWhatThatMeans Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Wow. Portland has cleaned the eff up from Dame. That's an incredible haul for a guy with maybe two good years before he's completely upside down on that contract. EDIT: If Milwaukee wins another title, it's all worth it. But man, hauls for one guy really don't get better than this: Quote 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I think I'm more sad about losing Camara, kid had a lot of potential, but the Suns are in the win now mentality so I get why they traded him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not a Celtics fan, but what Ainge did (or really, didn't do) was criminal. At least Scrooge McDuck went on cool adventures with his riches. Ainge just sat on it.

I definitely prefer the Brad Stevens approach and I think, other than his shaky first moves when he first took over the FO (but that they papered over quickly), he's done a great job setting this team up. Flip side of these big swings, though, is that these are moves that could backfire. They've basically switched Smart for Holliday, and Rob Williams for Porzingis, while losing Grant Williams and Brogdon for some no-name rotation fillers... I liked the Porzingis move a lot more in the context of his being a a part of a three-big platoon. This was obviously not part of the plan, I get why it had to happen when Jrue became available but the cost worries me. Really wished Oregon native/mediocre rotation guy Payton Pritchard would've been shipped out in this trade but alas. Idk, feels like the Celtics have a higher ceiling but a very tenuous path to reach that ceiling. And ultimately no trade could get them over the Banner 18 hump the way Brown/Tatum finding a consistent, superstar level in the playoffs would.

who do you think Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Smart, our standout defensive guard who's been in the league almost a decade, might drop off soon so we should trade him while we can. Hey Latvian Bargnani is available, let's do that even though he's always hurt and teams seem to get better after dealing him. Oh but the Bucks just got Lillard and now want to deal their aging standout defender point guard (who is older than Smart), we should trade our best interior defender plus two firsts for him. The only explanation I can come up with is that Smart and Williams were two of the bad seeds in that notoriously bitchy locker room from the past few years. Otherwise this just looks like the flailings of a stalled contender in panic mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayton was not only a monster in college, but also was the star of the (semi) local powerhouse (frauds) college basketball team. That combo sort of made him a couldn’t pass kinda guy for the Suns. Who you can blame, though, is the Sacramento Kings for just straight up PASSING on Luka for Marvin Bagley. Marvin :censored:ing Bagley. They did that. The Kings. Who are somehow still in Sacramento. For reasons. That I can’t explain. 2 Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)
