Shams: Lillard to Milwaukee in three team deal

artsncrafts · Post #201 » by **artsncrafts** » Wed Sep 27, 2023 6:58 pm

Raptors could have obviously beaten it but why would they? I mean the Raptors have no direction and have made some poor decisions the past 2 years so I would have been fine with acquiring Lillard for the luls, but long term rebuild, no trade was better.

I'm getting sick and tired of this. I'll see what they make of Siakam and OG but after that and things go similar to how it's gone the last year or so, I think it's time to part ways with management and start fresh.

I’m starting to lean this way also. I don’t think Masai has it anymore.

I'm just so confused at what our direction is, Im not even mad that we didn't land Dame. Like what the actual **** is the direction of our roster?

Jimmy sounds salty........

For him to claim tampering after what Miami pulled. Like they weren’t working with Dame on this. He had to be joking.

Negative aspect - League just witnessed Ayton valued higher than OG + Dick

uS media wanted us to push Barnes out for Lillard LMAO that's why you never listen to those people they want to ** us over.

On the Phoenix side, Gambo was right about Ayton for Nurk swap all along:

That's a legit reporter, not like the greenhorns we have in Toronto who sit on their hands.

I'm more annoyed about our lack of direction now. I'm not being sold on internal growth and subbing out Fred for a worst player in Dennis. And just praying Scottie/Trent/Gradey/Achuiwa all progress. Oh and we have OG/Trent/Siakam FA looming over our heads. And we have no pick lmao.

D+ offseason for me lol.

im guessing they had tor and Milwaukee as the final two and let dame choose which would explain shams botched tweet

sucks, with that being said im ignoring all trade rumours like this from now lmao.

Lillard is 33 this season they’re gonna pay him 46 mill then age 34 its 49 mill
Age 35- 59 million and lastly he’s gonna opt in for 63 million at age 36.

Lillard has missed over 70 games the last 2 years, is getting older and plays no defence. This is a terrible trade

we will see. I see them as the favorites coming out of the East now, better odds if they make some adjustments to the bench i guess.

Same. I couldn't care less about not landing Dame. I am still just confused that Masai is willing to go into the season with 3 starters as pending UFAs and you cannot afford all 3 without going into the tax. Make it make sense.

Wonder what masai didn't want to add achuwia / koloko...../certain protection on picks or unprotected pick.

We will lose one of Siakam or OG for nothing.
Take it to the bank.

I would assume that it was more a choice of Dame's than the Blazers.

Trent and Siakam extensions coming...now that the trade talk has settled.

i'm just assuming our assets don't have contracts after this season. OG, GTJ etc.

yes they are good players but they can just walk. too much risk for Portland. Also, maybe they want to keep Jrue to mentor Scoot. if Jrue can pass on his defensive mentality to make Scoot a more complete player, that would be a win.
of course i'm just speculating on why they wanted Jrue but I guess they needed some front court stability as well.
