My snap reaction is that Milwaukee is going to miss Jrue's defense a lot.

Phoenix cleaned up huh. got a whole bunch of role players.

While I guess the Blazers got Ayton, and whatever they can get in a trade for Jrue in a mentorship season at the deadline.

Did anyone else with Woj/Shams notifications turned on see some kind of phantom four-team deal that got tweeted out and instantly deleted

Yes it said

quote:

Sources: Portland, Toronto and Phoenix have agreed to a four-team trade:

Raptors get: Damian Lillard
Suns: Jusuf Nurkic
Blazers: Deandre Ayton

But ended there. I am guessing there was some confusion.

I guess they are hoping that Middleton returns to form and Brook Lopez isn't washed this year so they can have a stout frontcourt defense to make up for Lillard

Nurkic and Allen are actual rotation guys, even if they aren't great. Little and Keon are probably just guys, but maybe some upside. So you get some depth, but I think they just wanted to part ways with Ayton which I think was probably dumb.

The Suns got a center who isn't going to complain about touches (even if he kinda sucks after all the injuries), and they got the depth they desperately needed. Assuming it wasn't just Monty who hated Ayton, that's a good deal

I feel like Phoenix and Milwaukee got worse while Portland just made their pick in next year's draft mediocre unless they get insane lottery luck so it's the rare everyone loses three team trade

Yeah, I think the Suns came out okay here, if they're in win now mode they need playable guys for Ayton and those are playable guys.

I don't really get why Phoenix is so into Nurkic. He'll play like 50 games max. Ayton still has some shine on him even tho everyone knows he's unhappy. Felt like they could've got something better without being attached to such a blockbuster deal.
Bucks will miss the defense but I guess it keeps Giannis invested for another 2 years.

I guess Jrue gets flipped to a contender at some point this season, but I'm not really sure where he fits

i mean yeah 2 mediocre rotation players for a dude who while soft has been a star is really really bad



i dont even like ayton but they basically want kd to kill himself in the regular season all so they can watch a different center get roasted in the playoffs?

with the expected playtime of their other top stars phoenix is probably going to need someone who can absorb some touches for the regular season. maybe a large dude who could easily find space to work in the post?

Nurkic may only play 50 games but they won’t have malcontent ayton complaining about touches and playing poo poo defense. And they really like drew eubanks from what I can tell.

Glad they got rid of ayton. He may be ok but both sides need a fresh start. Aside from being a weeny bitch Grayson Allen is a good piece for this roster and I like nurkic with eubanks just fine.

I hoped Toronto would get Dame but I understand that Portland had the opportunity to banish him to a post-Giannis Milwaukee with no picks. You can't pass up that kind of an opportunity for spite.

Aug 24, 2005
I actually think Phx does fine out of this if Nurk is healthy for the playoffs (big if). He's a downgrade from Ayton, but Little and Allen can both play so maybe some extra depth for the regular season.

IDK I don't love it for them but I can kinda see it.

They need size. Dame would have been nice but at the end when they're against AD or Jokic they'll lose.
