I am good with the trade. Ayton is an interesting piece and gets a fresh start in PDX. You are never winning the trade when the best player is leaving your team. We are getting the #1 overall pick in the 2018 draft, a nice player in Camara, and picks that may turn into high-value assets in a few years + either a nice vet point guard to mentor our young players or trade for possibly another 1st round pick.
 
Will they look to move Grant now? I haven't really understood why there hasn't been more people calling for Grant to be traded. Dame is gone, he may be the 4th option on offense, they are gonna lose more than they win for a couple years and he's shown in the past that in this type of situation he won't be satisfied and will want to be traded, again.
I'd say moving him now would be better than waiting until the deadline and he's already thrown in the towel. He has to have some value for what his strengths are.

Every video I've seen of Camara, he moves well without the ball.

He might not be even a rotation guy on a good team when it's all said and done, but his game meshes well with what Scoot does. This does more for him, his development and his future than it does for the Blazers, but, if he can find his niche, the team might ultimately extract some benefit from it, too.

We also saw that he gets big numbers on these types of teams (hello Detroit).

I want scoot and shae to get all the shine, so I wonder what we could get for Grant.
 
Should the fact that Dame and Giannis could/should have been together in Portland for the past decade make me feel better or worse about this trade?

Not eligible to be traded until January 15th.
 
I'm not reading through preceding 12 pages of hand-wringing, but I love this deal.

Jrue and Dame are comparable value, with the only unknown being who ages better at this late stage of their respective careers. It was widely assumed that we couldn't give Nurk away, and we were able to flip him for Ayton, who is a year removed from being the breakout star at the position. Both moves, assuming we keep them both, should dramatically improve our defense and pace of play, which is what Scoot/Sharpe need to be developing around.

And we got rid of Little, who was only good for occasionally reminding us that it would be nice if he could stay healthy. Oh, and for his tradable contract, which is the only thing he actually lived up to.

It's a win-win-win in my book.

I'd venture to say read through it. It's been pretty well received for things you mentioned and also for those tasty picks at the end of the dame giannis window.

The Blazers got an all-star, two-way guard back and I noticed NBA guys from a couple of teams like Miami and Philadelphia already expressing their teams would be interested in him. The Heat weren't going to be able to match that return no matter what they did.

They'll be even more interested in Drue now with Dame in the same conference.

lmfaaaaaaaaaaaaaao. Cronin gets a win on this too. Cronin knew he was getting screwed.

Btw, except for the very first few messages, not a lot of cronin bashers are in here. Mainly because they realized it was a good trade and have nothing to complain about.

When some people were bashing Cronin for imagined Dame trades they looked like Asshats except to their groupies.
That kind of "discussion" is repulsive to me.
