Jrue, Brown, Tatum, Porzingis, Horford, White and a whole lot of bench
Added Jrue and KP for Smart, Brogdon and 2xWilliams. Probably the right call but they are going to have to be busy on the buyout market. Reggie Bullock available

They won’t be finished but that is as good as they probably could’ve hoped for a 33yo Dame

It's a decent haul back for Lillard in the end.
Boston need another center after trading Time Lord...
certainly have upgraded their starting 5, arguably one of the best going around now but taken a fair hit with the depth, they have 2 spots on the roster and a couple of exceptions available to them so they can make a couple of upgrades on the pine. As you said Reggie Bullock would be a good addition for some wing support, probably really need another decent big with big Al turning 60 soon and the Unicorn having the body of a 60yr old. Im not sure of too many bigs floating around that can bring decent value..... and if i hear anyone mention Cousins or Howard im going to puke.....

I'm going to miss the timelord.
If we could've got Holiday without giving him up that would've been ideal.

Sneaky chance the Warriors fall to a sub .500 team, that 1st rounder could be handy.
Miami gone from making the finals and looking at adding a top 10 player in the league
To
Losing depth and having the two biggest rivals in the conference add All NBA/All Star level talent in positions of need.
That is rough for them.

yes, allegedly everyone wants to go there yet the front office can't pull off any deals...... they want all the good players but only want to give up Lowry's large arse, I can't understand why the big fish keep swimming past to their two biggest competitors.....

On their own accord too.
They had it in the bag they don't want to pull the trigger for a big move like dame.
They'll still be up there this season but their future looks dull.

Jrue at the Celtics... not sure how I feel about this.
Boston would want to be hoping Pork can stay healthy, because they're awfully small without him. Could afford to take the chance when they had both Williams and a 37 year old Horford, both of whom have their own concerns, but now the margin for error is thin.
Surprised to hear that Blazers want to pair Ayton with Williams? Doesn't seem ideal, but guess we'll see. Surely Brogdon gets moved again, they'll probably get another pick for him.

I feel like Williams will stay at Portland and then be moved on.
Portland just want Williams to light a firecracker in Aytons ass. Williams contract is very easily moved when the time comes
I hate this trade for Celtics though. Too small and too reliant on Porzingis/Horford. When the matchups come in the playoffs not sure how they are going to go with Embiid on Porzingis and Giannis on Porzingis either. They needed to keep Robert Williams as that insurance. Feel like they could have held their ground for a bit longer and found a way to keep Williams and for example move Pritchard + Hauser on instead

Can see a call to Dwight being made as sad as that is...
No way Porz plays more > 65 games and with how deep they'll run in playoffs he'll need to play 85+. Horford goes ok against embiid doesnt he?
The buyout market will give them depth anyway. Usually 3-4 vets available at that time

They should have just sent Bam in the trade. Bam is replaceable and then just go with Jimmy and Dame. Now they are ****ed.
Having Porzingis defend anything other than a lamp shade in the playoffs would have me worried.... we all remember what the clippers did to him a couple of years ago in that first round series, that was the series Luka pulled the player GM card and said it's time to #$8k him off.

That's unfair on the lamp shade, sure he tends to switch on and off at times, but he can still light it up when he needs to.

I kid you not, had the weirdest dream last night about Jimmy Butler. He took a FALL through the floor after trying for a shot, fell nearly two stories?
Then I wake up to this?

Deandre ayton will wear number 2 in tribute to the great Stacey augmon
only if Ayton could show half the defensive ticker of Stacey, then DeAndre might actually be a decent player

Dame Lillard is getting a divorce.
Cream city here he comes

I hope Brad finds another big man in case Horford and or Porkzinger go down.
