Yeah excited to see him on the floor. Now for due diligence of course we have to listen to any Giannis trade offers or offers for the Bucks picks. But I really am excited to just see this team has as it is. We have a lot of young players that have made big improvements. Scoot might have the...

Exactly - just keep Giannis ourselves if we give up all the value for him yet take back all the spare parts other teams don't want. While I like Bridges much more than KAT he still is overpaid on that $150 million extension that kicks in the next few months.

Oh I'm certain the NBA would not. Dundon has zero official authority with the Blazers today. Jody is in charge until the NBA approves the sale - legally Joe only has to do as she wishes. But I'm sure all parties know that the day the NBA approves the deal Dundon has 100% control - so Jody will...

The Bucks were trying hard to win this year WITH Giannis and are still deep in the lottery with a horrific eastern conference. This could be the beginning of a run like the Brooklyn Nets after the Pierce/Garnett trade where there is nothing the Bucks can do to avoid high lottery picks going to...

Both Dame and Giannis are injured today as well. While you have to listen to the idea of adding Giannis - it might far and away be the best deal for the Blazers to just sit out a Giannis trade and let those picks grow in value. There isn't really anything the Bucks can do to get out of the...

Totally agree - if the Bucks are only getting Scoot and Grant then we should keep Giannis. If you go through all the teams in the NBA that are making "aggressive offers" for Giannis its crap like this where a 3rd team like us is giving up all the value and getting the worst return of all the teams.

Camara skillset is needed more on a contending team with proven scorers. Perhaps Shae has more upside but for contending now I'm certainly taking Camara. Doesn't really matter for the trade deadline this week as Camara is ineligible to be traded due to his extension - however Shae can be traded.

This would likely be a discussion for the summer - if we make the playoffs yes it unlocks more future Blazer picks - thats partly why I often argue its fine for the Blazers to just make the playoffs and payoff the Chicago debt. In theory if the Blazers need to unlock more picks to send to the...

Shae can be moved in most Giannis deals straight up because the $ are big enough his PPP doesn't hold up anything. The 2029 pick would likely just be the best of Bos/MIL/PDX - which obviously MIL would prefer over exclusively their own pick. I can't imagine the Blazers/Bucks would go through...

The two Bucks pick swaps are super valuable. Even with Giannis the Bucks are in the lottery today in a worse than average East year. Thats how the Celtics got Tatum and Brown - and the Thunder got Jalen Williams, which is 100% of NBA titles since Dame was previously a Blazer. Blazers have a...

I wouldn't give up both Scoot and Sharpe. Bucks can choose one of them, plus they can get Yang. Might ultimately not be enough for Milwaukee - but I'm fine holding firm with that. I don't believe any other team will offer as much as you noted. If Giannis was 25 sure - but not when he's in his...

Camara is literally untradable from extension until April. Even if tradable I'd put him above all our players outside Deni. 3+D on a reasonable contract is crucial to a contender as well as Giannis team. All other positions can be more easily filled in a subsequent move. Scoot I'd like to keep...

You very well might be right - the Blazers acquiring Giannis has a ton of risk. Kind of reminds me of the Clippers getting Kawhi or the Nets getting Harden. Both teams were massive disappointments. Still its a chance with real MVP upside that you have to consider. Kawhi also won a title in...

That kind of like telling a grade schooler they can be president some day. I mean sure its technically true - but it really has no bearing at all on what will happen. I mean I can also aim to win the powerball lottery when I buy a $2 ticket.

Yeah, the Bucks aren't getting an Anthony Davis to the Lakers haul like the Pelicans got. The Bucks missed their chance to trade Giannis for maximum value. Three years of picks, one top prospect (Sharpe OR Scoot) one flyer like Yang, thats the best the Bucks are doing. Not saying the Blazers...
