I’m so confused…did Blazers really choose Ayton over OG? or did Masai not even offer the Blazers OG?

Ayton gets dumpstered on a lot but he's better/younger player than OG and OG will end up being paid more.

Portland getting Jrue and Ayton out of things is not too bad.

If they can flip Jrue for something that even remotely resembles and asset its not terrible.

Edit: Its still terrible, but not Miami package terrible.

Ayton is a decent Centre to pair around Scoot/Sharpe, as critical as people are on him(for good reason).

jesus christ im tired of this **** team. so what the **** is the plan?

[Scizzup]

yes it is, Idk what you to want to hear but OG is an expiring. Jrue at worst is worth same 2 first picks from a contender as OG.

They also got Ayton while getting of Nurkic contract.

You realize Ayton’s contract is even worse right?

I absolutely love Jrue. One of my 5 favorite players in the league. But his value isn’t as insane as you’re suggesting

The Suns were shopping Ayton all summer because nobody wants his awful contract. Getting off Nurk to get onto Ayton is hardly a win lol. Jrue is 33 hinted at retiring and much of his value comes on defense which won't age as gracefully. Not sure what they can get for him but idk if it's more than firsts + salary filler.

Ayton for the contract on a contender isn't good rn. But he is a 23/24 year old big man whose contract won't be horrible in 2 years. Ayton is also a lot more healthy and young enough to get better with their young core. Nurkic is a worse player, injury prone and older with no path to get better.

This similar to the GSW trade earlier in the summer, both teams are cutting cost.

way more than decent. he's only 25 and has already proven himself as a significant contributor to a finals team. does he have his faults? definitely. but people take things too far as usual.
