TRADE: Ayton/Camara for Nurkic/Allen/Little/Johnson

[Split T]

Have to think about this, but kinda underwhelmed at first

[Shabazz]

Don’t like. I just don’t get it. We don’t need any of those extra pieces.

[ShelC]

I hate that we're going to have to root for Allen, but he's a player. Nas Little is still an intriguing player at the 3/4. Keon Johnson is a guard with some development potential. Hate that we're losing Camara lol.

I liked DA but it definitely felt like it was time to move on. He'll be a solid presence for the younger Blazers and get the touches he wants opposite of Scoot.

Felt like the Bucks were a sleeper with Jrue moving for Dame. This may keep Giannis in Milwaukee longterm now, as they needed a shakeup with that group.

[Cap]

Yuck! That can’t seriously be a consideration.

I can’t believe all these 1-for-4, 2-for-4 proposals we’re seeing that would require us to waive multiple players not much worse than the players we’d be getting.

REALLY underwhelming... but I probably overvalued Ayton.

[The Bobster]

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.

[MightyMoog]

We’re going to have to waive a couple of guys unless we’re doing another trade.

Worst part is we facilitated in helping a major rival.

Why are you narrating this in the past tense? Ayton is still here. He’ll probably still be here when the games start.

He’s our guy. I’d be willing to trade him for OG-Nurk, but that’s not likely to happen, so just accept that, at least for now and probably for later, Ayton is our guy.

Cap, you may want to check the news.

[In2ition]

How is this for a headline?

LITTLE, JOHNSON GET IMMEDIATELY CUT

[Wally_West]

I fully expect the suns to flip these guys for picks or other assets.

I could see is trading Grayson for a back up PG. Maybe Allen and for TJ McConnell.

Cap... Is it time we do a wellness check on you?

Bravo... bravo!

[Cap]

Holy fuck. Nurk is all we get? That makes no fucking sense.

[TOO]

You guys are really underrating the people element of this trade. Nobody likes Ayton, this is now extremely clear, he was never gonna buy into the 4th option screen guy.

Nurkic isn't great, but I'd be willing to bet he's ok with doing dirty work, Allen is pretty good, I hate his face but he's pretty useful. Little and Johnson, guessing flipped for 2nd rounders.

[Wally_West]

Question: could Nurkic have an Aron Baynes type season for us???

[The Bobster]

Holy fuck. Nurk is all we get? That makes no fucking sense.

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.

[Kryptonic]

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.

You mean play ~15 great games and then vanish?
