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.

  2. I have tweet alerts on for Shams, and he had a deleted tweet that had Toronto involved as a fourth team- anyone else see that?

  3. This package feels worse than what we were rumoured to be offering, and the key piece in holiday is redundant on a roster with Scoot/Sharpe… wtf is this?

  5. Giannis is certainly blessed with the bucks front office. They knew the core was cooked and pushed for dame for one last ring window.

    For us, we can watch barnes and dick grow. Just need to sort out contract situations with og and pascal

  10. THIS being the return for Dame and him going to Milwaukee somehow drops my excitement about the Raptors for the upcoming season even more. Wasn’t sure if that was possible.

  12. 1 unprotected and 2 unprotected swaps in 3 consecutive years, in the years following the end of Dame and Giannis’ contracts. That bit is too juicy for Portland to ignore. Plus Ayton and Jrue. They made the right choice.

  13. Oof. Talk about killing Masai’s dream of landing both Dame and Giannis.

    Lol on Miami and good on the Bucks. How in the FUCK they managed to swoop in for the steal while keeping things under wraps beats me. PERFECT timeline match for both Giannis and Dame.

  14. Honestly, I’m pissed. They barely gave up anything. We could have 100% beat that. If Masai wasn’t willing to offer more, all of our chips are on Scottie becoming Magic fucking Johnson.

  16. It was always a pipe dream tbh. Maybe Masai pivots toward Hield now, which might not be Dame, but would definitely be an upgrade on spacing

  17. It’s kind of crazy watching teams with no assets manufacture meaningful trades, while our FO just seats there.

  21. I’m just glad we won’t be talking about Lillard to the Raptors anymore. People wanting to throw away our entire future for Damian Lillard was one of the most ridiculously dumb takes I’ve seen around here.

  23. I gotta say. Portland did really well on this trade. If the young kids on their team turn out like expected they could be a lot of fun to watch next year.

  26. Portland did good on this trade considering dame was demanding a trade. They can flip Drew and Ayton for more good picks. Maybe we go after Drew?

  27. It’s a terrible trade for Portland, their FO makes some questionable decisions BUT I’m happy he’s not going to Miami and that this entire sauga is done with so we can move on with life…lol

    I’m wondering if we could acquire Holiday from Portland now?? he would be an ideal PG for us and we could keep OG…certainly an interesting idea

  28. To who ever posted the hypothetical that if we got Dame we could have also got Giannis, and then got the sub salivating on that duo together and the what ifs. This is on you.

  30. I’m pretty happy about this.

    I didn’t want to see the Heat get Dame, and it’s great to see Giannis get a real running mate.

    From the Raps perspective, I was skeptical about the deal. Dame makes much more sense on a team like the Bucks who is already in win-now mode. His age, injury history and contract are pretty risky for the Raps. I’m also really high on Gradey, and I am psyched to see him develop as a Raptor.

    Let’s get Siakam and OG extended, and see what this team can do.

  32. Anyone who didn’t want to watch Dame in a raps jersey this season is a complete and utter fool. We would’ve been right night to the Celtics as the favourite in the East.

    I’d rather watch the Leafs put up a crazy regular season and lose in the playoffs again then watch the trash product the Raptors are gonna put out. This is an utter disaster, feels like Masai is tanking our team before inevitably moving on

  33. Masai got sick of fleecing other teams so now he just fleeces the Raptors. Hasn’t done jack shit since the title win, won’t tear it down for a proper rebuild or acquire players to help the team. Stuck in no mans land with no direction
