Bro I was thinking the same thing.

All month the conversation was about how Giannis might leave if he can win somewhere else.

Portland staring at all straight trash offers for Dame thinks Giannis might leave - those 28-30 picks now have value, or at least more than Tyler Herro!! LOL

Jimmy Butler is probably on to something - but **** that guy anyways. GO BUCKS

Lower importance but fun to think about second units of AJJ running with Pat, Marjon, Jae and Bobby is making me happy as well

I figured the Bucks would have to give up both Jrue and Bobby to get the assets necessary if it were to ever happen.

I am shocked and happy.

It'll be interesting to see how they finish off the roster.

They will be rerouting Jrue.

This gives the Bucks two top 12 players and maybe the best third option in basketball (OK second after Phoenix). This is about playoff halfcourt O. Giannis/Lillard PnR will be unguardable with two defenders and Middleton will have the most open jumpers he’s ever had.

The defense will take a step back in all likelihood. But this is where AJJ/Beauchamp and Griffin come in.

And I have no idea what the Suns are thinking. They trade Ayton without getting any draft assets back and Nurkic is a huge downgrade.
I wouldn't underestimate how much the suns wanted to get away from Ayton. Dude basically quit last year in the playoffs and there were times throughout the season where booker looked ready to punch him.

He's on a max contact and if he pouted his way through the season they might have had to pay to get off his deal next off-season.

This trade is a massive risk and basically will boil down to if Dame can stay healthy or not. The Bucks just went from a great defense and mid offense to an elite offense & a mid defense most likely. One thing is for sure though, my excitement level for the season shot up 1000%

I think Horst did a good job on the value he gave up here, keeping MarJon, AJJ, & the Portland Pick are all good work by him. That said it feels like in 3-4 years when we are judging this trade it'll either look amazing or awful with little in between

This is crazy, it still really hasn't sunk in. If everyone can stay healthy this will be the most fun stretch of professional sports in my lifetime.

Really can't believe the Bucks just landed the second best shooter in NBA history to put next to Giannis and Khris.

To me the biggest thing is that Jrue and Dame are the same age. Jrue is a great defender but Lillard can single handedly win you games with his clutch ability. He’s soooooo perfect with GA.

For those who wanted to pool assets for next summer - we’ll still have two firsts to trade at the draft.

Also all my Portland buddies are a mixed bag on the trade. This town will be dead now that he is gone. Dame was holding the blazers together.

Scoot Hendersen is going to be a super star. Portland will forget about Dame quickly

I'm sure all the guys will miss Jrue a lot, but Middleton must be salivating right now, dreaming of 30 ppg.

This makes me look back to thinking Bobby Simmons was a huge win and I can't help but laugh. We've come a long way!

The real question is what # does Marjon wear?
