We need to trade Grayson back to Utah. He’s such a jazz player. Pretty much a clone of Ainge. Take back whatever they offer us.
That or the Celtics... He's very Ainge'y.
I don't think Ainge was near as bad as Allen. Although, that baseball pass to the face of Mario Ellie will go down in infamy.

Don’t like. I just don’t get it. We don’t need any of those extra pieces.
AND we gave up Camara and draft picks/swaps? Wow. I'm speechless. Can't wait to hear what Jones has to say for himself.

I liked Camara, but he wasn't gonna play this year, Little and Allen will offer far more than he was going to.

Not enough in return,

And Grayson Allen? Really????
He's another Pat Bev in my book... Just hate having a guy like that on our team who plays as dirty as he does.
How are we even going to fit all these two guards?

Giving up Camara feels like a gut punch for some reason.

They are just guards, all of them can handle the ball and run the pick and roll. It's not a bad problem to have.

Gordon, Allen, Eubanks, Diop/Okogie, Shuta is a very good bench.

Question: could Nurkic have an Aron Baynes type season for us???🤔🤔🤔🤔
I do like his aggression. At least there's that.

I’m bummed at the Camara part too. Was (probably irrationally) high on him.

We didn’t give up any pick swaps. That was Milwaukee.

I want to go on record as saying that I think this trade blows.

Holy fuck. Nurk is all we get? That makes no fucking sense.
Unless... like Splits been saying; the players were done with his antics. Regardless of whatever you want to say about last playoffs... He didn't even TRY to get on the court with bruised ribs. His teammates seeing his lack of heart and fight showed them everything they needed to know about his commitment. You know damn well KD being a through and through baller knows what good work ethic is; it's why he wanted to play with BOOKER.

On paper... I personally would have rather rolled with what we have, but these guys have to face each other day in and day out and there was some serious stank rolling off of Ayton and his teammates wanted none of it.
Nice post. I've got to think this is part of it.

Not the whole deal.

All I can say is I hope they have a deal lined up for Grayson Allen to pick up a point guard.
I think Allen is pretty good, definitely the 2nd best best wing behind Gordon. I'd like to keep him.
I reluctantly agree that he's pretty good.

Only time will tell if this was a bad trade or not but at least we have moved the one guy who was likely to be a distraction (again!). Hopefully the whole group will now be pulling in the same direction.

Not only did we downgrade the center position, but we helped one of the best teams in the league (MIL) get better. We could be facing them in the Finals this coming season, and now they have Dame. Was that a wise move on our part? And we gave up our only rookie, who looked like he might actually be pretty good. I wanted to watch Camara grow here. Ugh, I really don't like this trade. I hope Ishbia saves some bucks though, good job getting under that apron!

Imagine how he feels days before training camp.

That’s overrated/overblown (and perhaps not even true). I will go on record saying that we will not win a championship this season.

Can Keon Johnson be moved to a 2-way?

Cool... I love your track record lately. Just like you guaranteed we wouldn't trade Ayton.

Yeah, he probably wasn't happy about Poole either. :P

My gut is that I don't think we have a better shot at winning the title this season than we did 2 hours ago and I think our chances might be worse.
