Dame in Milwaukee thread

I actually lived on Rocky Butte. My parents built a house up there in 1978. It was honestly some of the best times of my life. Later on well after I left for college the HOA started making it unlivable up there and my parents decided to sell and move out of there. In the late 70's and early 80's Rocky Butte was the cruise strip in Portland before it moved to 82nd Ave. Times have sure changed.
Used to go up there to play tennis and watch the planes take off.
Im a Madison High grad so many of us had many treks up the windy hill after Friday night games. What we did up there shall remain within the Butte circle. Lol
 
This is another article saying what Blazers got for Lillard and ignoring the fact Nurkic was in the mix too.

And so was Little and Grayson. But it was the Lillard trade. The rest was ballast to make the trade work. When the Bucks traded Kareem to LAL, nobody thinks of the ballast. It was the Kareem to Lakers deal.
 
people forget we also got Toumani with Ayton in the Phoenix deal. Little and Johnson have since been waived by Phoenix...we did really well in the Dame trade with Timelord in the deal as well as what turned into Deni through Brogdan
100%
That was a great deal. That was as much as we were ever going to get out of Lillard. Anybody disappointed with the return on Lillard had completely unrealistic expectations.
 
People seem to forget that Giannis can't seem to finish a season anymore, both of them are getting older, they didn't really improve their team much, and Damian's seems allergic to working on his biggest weakness (defense). And their great coach lead them to (checks math) 38 wins over 82 games.

The Bucks window is just about shut.

Im really looking forward to those pick swaps and first we have of theirs. I think they are timed out perfectly for when they hit bottom.
I think in five years, what Cronin did with the Dame move is going to prove to be incredibly savvy and great long term thinking.

That stretch could be good for the team, draft asset wise, but it depends on how strong the drafts are.

Ideally, the pick swaps with Boston and Milwaukee bring lotto picks to Portland ( don't remember if there was any restrictions on the picks). But realistically, they'll probably be late lotto to mid teens, and hopefully Portland at that time is mid 20's, which would still be a beneficial swap.
