I’m glad everyone agrees that it’s so much better to have Grayson Allen’s 3 points & 4 rebounds and Nurkic’s 0 & 0 than to have Ayton and Camara’s 42 & 17.
You're right Jeremy. Everybody knows you judge all trades based on the outcome of a random game in February.

For the season, they’re both—each one individually—better than Grayson. So the Blazers have more than twice the talent we got from the trade.

Unfortunately, there's no take-backs.

Par for the course with this team. Turned it off at halftime but kinda knew from the start we didn't seem engaged or have any bounce. This team doesn't know how to lock in or have anyone to make sure they're locked in. And that's what bothers me about the crap I see all the time from some media/fan accounts about how much of a leader KD is. A leader makes sure the team is ready night in and night out. KD may be a good teammate, but he's not a leader.

5 assists and 5 turnovers against a team with a losing record tells you all you need to know about 'Point Book'. He simply doesn't have the consistency to run the offense on a regular basis. It's no good pointing to the odd game where he records double digit assists thinking that proves a point. It means nothing if he can't produce it consistently.

I'd willingly trade him for some young guns who are hungry and hustle every night. His attitude is a bad influence on everyone around him.

Not a lot of postgame stuff because everyone was preccupied with the trade. You know it's pretty bad tho when you admit DA is playing with more energy than you are.
