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.

Blazers ended doing better for themselves than I thought they would.

I’m not so sure that Milwaukee isn’t better off with Holliday over Lillard but they just got a whole lot more dangerous offensively

Wow, I really like that deal for the Bucks, especially if Middleton is healthy. I don't like it for the Suns, though, even if they did need depth more than Ayton. I would have expected at least a pick going to them
I'm bitter.

Will certainly be a test of whether or not you're better off with the superstar than the proverbial glue guy.

Not only they get Lillard but also trade Grayson Allen? Great deal for them.
Baby Jesus!

Hate to say but MIL probably is now the favorite in the East. Lillard is also a killer and his attitude fits Milwaukee really well. C's still have to prove some things mentally so it'll be tough

I don't like the deal for the Bucks. Back court has 2 old guards that are often injured.

Some reports seem to indicate Holiday could be heading to Miami in a separate trade soon

Worst case scenario for the Cs. Dame is the best player Gianni’s has ever played with. That’s a great combo.

No they are not.
