Look at the True Shooting %. That's really the key to offensive efficiency. 60%, that's 2% better than the league average, and like 6% better than the Blazers pathetic team average.

He's also a good defender, rebounder, passer....

Young, good contract. This is a good deal.
I'm not sold on it at all as it feels like it's about being better now (which is a fool's errand) and money than I would prefer. Giving up a short term contract in Brogdon who should have value and two first rounders... I dunno.

It is what it is, but I'm not buying that he's had a "breakout" any more than I believed Thybulle was a good three point shooter or any number of other small sample size assertions that some have thought on this board.

Think about where Deni would be drafted if he came out this year. He's the same age as Dalton and
-Higher TS%
-much better rebounder
-much better passer
-much better defender

And he did that at the NBA level.
 
From the 2020 draft...

good player
great contract

lost a v.good player
gave 2 1sts
 
reporting from an RV park in Burns...with spotty wifi....I think it's a pretty decent trade for the Blazers with the provision we have to hope the 2nd best pick in 2029 isn't a top-10 pick
If it is I don't think Cronin will still be working for Portland
 
I like the trade. I didn’t at first, but quickly changed my mind.

He will probably be our best do-it-all forward since who, Batum? He’s also 23 and on a great contract. Trading Avdija only means Grant will be worth 2 1sts+ right? Grant would be the unanimously better player between the two I would assume.
 
So if Brogdon is in theory worth a first, we just sent 3 firsts for this guy??????
it's hard when an expensive baller is under contract and doesn't want be a Blazer. Great move by Cronin, even if it cost picks. You can't have that type of depressed chemistry in the locker room.
 
So what the adjusted haul on the Dame trade now?

Avdija
Ayton
Timelord
Camera
2029 pick
2028 2030 swaps

Looks much worse now then when the deal was done and I was expecting Brogdon/Timelord to be flipped

Are you sure those are swaps?

I don’t think you can take the Boston pick out. It very well might be our own pick that conveys.

"So the Blazers made the much-awaited blockbuster trade on Wednesday, trading Lillard to the Milwaukee Bucks in a three-team deal that sent Jrue Holiday, Deandre Ayton, Toumani Camara, a 2029 first-round Bucks pick and two Bucks pick swaps in 2028 and 2030 to Portland.Sep 28, 2023"

The pick swap in 2028 will only be available if the Blazers don't have to transfer their first-round pick to the Chicago Bulls.
Thanks to Neil Olshey, a lottery-protected pick is owed to Chicago through 2028.
  • Blazers may have right to swap first-round picks with Milwaukee Bucks.
    Note: This swap is protected for #15-30, which means if Portland’s first-round pick is conveyed to the Bulls in this draft, the swap with the Bucks does not occur.

Misspelled "Gamera."

I was just going say this. But Ayton and Camara was mostly for Nurk and Little. Dame accounts for some of it with Grayson Allen going to the Bucks, but I think that deal was going to happen anyway.

It's really Deni, RW3 and the swaps. A 2029 pick also went out for Deni.

And given that RW3 is useless. We pretty much traded Damian for Deni and swaps.
