    The first 2 pages were pretty heavily slanted toward the negative.

    There were some Blazer "fans" that were sure Cronin was going to get rolled by Riley.

    Draft stuff will could be huge if the Bucks suck in 6 years, which doesn't seem to unlikely given their current trajectory.

    I like that we got out of Nurk and Little's contracts.

    I'm happy to have Ayton, he fits with the young core, he's under contract for a few years, and could have a resurgence not being under the shadow of bigger stars in Phoenix.

    Okay, fuck Goodwin. Dame is off the hook. It sounds like it was ALL Goodwin. Fuck him.

    Ha Jimmy Butler crying about Milwaukee tampering. How ironic is that?

    Look for those names the next 14 pages - they left cause they knew it was a good trade.

    The moment that fans in Boston, Miami and Toronto saw their 2023-24 championship dreams go up in flames.

    We need to blacklist this guy. There's a reason why every one of his high powered clients fired him

    It's odd that they didn't route Holiday somewhere else with this deal. Is it possible they plan to keep him and trade Simons?

    Am I crazy for saying I would rather have him than Chris Duarte who was a former 13th overall pick?

    Man i'm gonna miss Dame, but also soo relieved that this saga is finally over. I think the trade is good, now let's see what we can get for Jrue. Fuck Miami

    1) If you are overcome with emotion, take a second before spewing your anger
    2) Ayton for Nurk (I play hard when I feel like it) has me dancing like a kid
    3) I respect Giannis as a man and as an NBA player. I do not respect any Heat player. Glad that is where my all time fave Blazer went.
    4) Loooooooooove the future picks. Forking LOVE them.
    5) Blazers getting tougher defensively...nuff said.
    6) Dame trade threads are over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    With Ayton and Scoot and Sharpe on the roster, why would the Blazers be trying to lose more than win?

    Their run to the Finals in the Butler era could be over.

    Remember that Blazers-N'Awlins first round series when Jrue absolutely locked Dame down? Didn't we get swept?

    I think they probably just wanted to get it done before giving Miami a chance to change Dame's mind about agreeing to it.

    Scoot for whatever reason hasn't been a lob passer, but with Sharpe and Ayton, who can catch and convert if you just give it a good try, I think Scoot will make progress in that area.
