    Lillard goes Milwaukee as part of a 3-team deal with Jrue Holiday, Deandre Ayton, Toumani Camara, a 2029 unprotected MIL 1st, and unprotected MIL swap rights in 2028 and 2030 to Blazers. Phoenix lands Jusuf Nurkic, Grayson Allen, Nassir Little and Keon Johnson.

    Dame + Giannis is a fun duo. Sounds like they’re also planning on trading Jrue

    Normally I don’t give two shits about sports, but what is up with the Blazers losing all their best players?

      Normally you could blame it on bad luck, small market franchise, or mismanagement, but this one is has more nuance.

      Dame wants to win a title now. Portland used their #3 pick to draft Scoot instead of trading it to get him some help. So he told the FO that he wants to be traded to a contender, specifically Miami. However, the Heat didn’t really have much to offer in exchange so here we are.
