Not confirmed on what the exact details of the trade are but Dame is going to be going to Milwaukee.

From Woj

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.

That is sick but jrue was probably the best perimeter defender in the league. Interested to see the new dynamic.

Nurkic on Pheonix is dope.

no excuses for Dame/Giannis now

[jlip]

So the Bucks still get to keep Middleton?

Well, Giannis already won bruh. Where you been at?

yeah not sure I'd get rid of one the few two way point guards and take on Ayton at the same time. Looks like a good deal for the Suns. Gives them some depth and they're done with Ayton

damn thats a deadly duo

[rawimpact]

Just goes to show how little 'NBA insiders' know...

I like Jrue, but the offensive upgrade the bucks get from this makes up for the defense
Phx... I don't know man.. they couldnt get anything better for Ayton?
Blazers did well, unprotected on those picks?? really unheard of these days.

Ayton and Jrue will be fun to watch. Reminds me of the Roy and Aldridge days

I think the bucks won the trade

With Giannis's recent statement they needed to do something, cant just sit back and let Lillard force his way to MIA.

That's why I'd be conflicted on the trade, you're trading up the best defender at his position who also gave you 19/7 for a 30 ppg scorer. I will say Jrue's efficiency in the playoffs has been atrocious, he goes from a 59%TS shooter in the regular season to 48%TS in the playoffs.

I'm not saying the changes they made won't make them better, but I feel like Milwaukee really overreacted to how their season ended. They lost with Giannis missing most of the series to an "8 seed" that saw Jimmy Butler morph into Michael Jordan over the final 2 games that the Heat barely eeked out. I feel like the core they had was definitely capable of winning another championship, and frankly I think they would have had Middleton not gotten injured in 2022.

we might even get that suns-bucks rematch, this time with kd and dame in the mix

I don't believe this. But we'll see.

doubt teams were lining up for Ayton. Lucky to get rid of him and get something in return

Adrian Wojnarowski: The Blazers remain engaged elsewhere on deals and will are expected to immediately engage contending teams on trade talks to move on Jrue Holiday, sources tell ESPN. Portland is committed to its young group of talented guards.

figured. Get it done Danny!

Chris Haynes: In a Fresno barbershop called Phase II a few months ago, Giannis Antetokounmpo was asked of the one player he would like to play with. His response was Damian Lillard.

looks like this all about keeping Giannis happy.
