    If I have to like one thing about this trade, it's the overwhelming feeling of Schadenfreude when it comes to the M'eat. F*** Pat Riley and their fans.

    We can swap our 1st round pick with theirs.

    Not only that, for a Bucks competitor, he's a Dame stopper from a championship Milwaukee team that you have to play against to get to the Finals.

    If im reading right, we get the higher of the two picks of that year and they take the lowest.

    Anyone feel free to correct me. And these are unprotected.

    Seeing people calling out other posters who strung this along for the heat. I think a lot of them were over this just like a lot of us were. Therefore some seem to be just glad that it is over with, with some understandable displeasure that they ended up having no involvement whatsoever.

    A lot of people bashing Pat Riley… How can you clown Pat Riley as a Heat fan when he’s done what he’s done for the franchise…

    It's part of being in an open relationship in the poly community.

    it means even if their pick is #1, Portland can exercise the swap rights

    So if they get #1 and we got #30, we can swap and we get #1 and they get #30 instead? That's not so bad

    Same. This is probably the only team that I would have still rooted for Dame on the court. I always wanted Dame and Giannis together on the Blazers. That Bucks team is going to be special.

    I believe that word was coined specifically for this exact moment, another word that comes to mind is Karma.

    Meanwhile in Miami: "Mr. Riley, Thom Yorke is here at the FO and says he's here for some kind of Citizen's arrest?"
