Positive first impression. Biggest thing is I like betting against Milwaukee's future vs Miami's. We'll see what happens to Jrue. I like his fit honestly and argue a better mentor for Scoot than Dame. Likely flipped though. Hard to grade trade until this shakes out. Not an Ayton fan but he's a slight upgrade on current Nurkic imo and obv the timeline fit and room to improve is a plus. Playoffs in 21' and 22' as 22-23 year old were impressive. Camara looked intriguing in SL and Suns fans were excited about him. Interesting statistical profile in college with nice forward size. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/toumani-camara-1.html Overall I'd give it a B with upside depending on Jrue situation.
It's exactly how I feel bro. I'm excited because I can cheer for Dame now and the Lillard Method was never a thing! I love it!!!!! The return is Meh depending on what we can get for Jrue, but still, I feel the Schadenfreude for Miami and killing that Bush League trash is worth at least 3 FRP's and probably some swaps too! Also, hard to put a price on being able to root for Lillard again!
Im struggling to find out how people are seeing this as a bad trade. ESPECIALLY considering we can still extract some value from Jrue. And these picks that far out after Giannis/Dame are done and past their prime (Well dame maybe more so than Giannis, but wh0 knows) I think, all things considered, this is more than a fair haul for a bloated contract like Dames.
Agree on all but a meh trade. I think the unprotected swaps are going to be so valuable and those hit in the middle of Scoot and Shae's prime. (Obviously TONS can change, but we dont know, so the natural logic can play here).
Obviously he's going to get traded and its not like we need cap space right now. Again Riley and Miami and Goodwin all got boned as is in alignment with the Divine Law of Karma!
to me, I think whatever we get for Jrue is only going to enhance the trade, not make or break the trade, in my opinion.
Same, one of the best parts is now I can reconcile with Dame in my heart. It really hurt what he did, but I can forgive him because their toxic Bush League stuff failed. Funny that.
Would be a rookie move by Pat to elimate a team from possibly helping them get a nice PG. If I were a GM, there is nothing another GM could do or say that would allow me to turn down a future good deal with them.
Wonder why people seem to dismiss the value of it. Seems to me like this is a good deal for us We downgrade from Dame to Jrue We upgrade from Nurk to Ayton We let go of Nas Keon and we get a rookie, 1FRP and 2 swaps I feel like this is a win for all 3 teams. I hope we can get good value for Jrue.
I made this happen. I knew as soon as I went on vacation Lillard would get traded. I literally just got into my room after flying all night and a little town called in the middle of Yucatan.
