    Positives:
    • The Bucks pick in 2029 could be worth A LOT. Same with the swaps.
    • Jrue should have value and I'm really hoping we can immediately flip him.
    • I like adding Ayton.
    • The Heat didn't get him. Fuck the Heat.
    Negatives:
    • Not many picks.
    • No young talent.
    Meh:
    • I really don't care about losing Keon/Little/Nurk.
    I'm just not seeing how Jrue is going to turn into young players AND picks.

    A giannis- dame duo is fucking ideal. The league is so done. Like the absolute perfect match.

    Wow! Good for the Bucks! Of course, Dame is going to be seriously pissed when Giannis leaves for New York.

    Jrue Holiday is one of the best dudes in the NBA - I wouldn't be sad if he paused on our roster for a while to teach a little defense.

    Will Dame be happy?

    ps
    I remember the series with NOP, Jrue shut down Dame night after night. His defense is sickening, in the best possible way. He has value to other contenders for sure.

    I'd love Jrue as the third guard behind Sharpe and Scoot.

    But like OG, trading Jrue would net the most.

    that was dream land, Dame's contract and age screwed his value

    It would be lowkey hilarious if we sent Jrue for Miami's busted ass offer. Joe just created an arms race and we have the perfect weapon to guard Dame.

    Don't dismiss the value of the 28 swap. It's unprotected, and will align with Dame/Giannis no longer in Milwaukee.

    Then flip Herro for another 2 picks. I'm doubtful Cronin can pull anything of consequence off.

    Your early responses seem to indicate judgement.

    I bet Dame and Giannis BOTH love this. This would be enough for the Freak to want to stay.

    If you ask me I think Dame is ecstatic. Joe did NOT fuck him over in the least. He is playing with, arguably, the best player on the planet.

    Not available...This is what a trade looks like for a high-priced PG at the end of his career.

    Jrue fits the whole "Heat Culture" bullshit.

    Jrue makes almost identical money to Lowry/Jovic/Jaquez.

    Jrue for Lowry/Jovic/Jaquez and two picks?

    Final haul would be:

    Ayton
    Lowry
    Jovic
    Jaquz
    29 FRP from Milwaukee
    28 FRP from Miami
    30 FRP from Miami
    Two pick swaps

    That wouldn't be bad.

    I think Joe did it for Dame. Dame had to be on board with this. Obviously I wish it was Giannis who came to Portland instead.
