Well, I have to talk about the Damien Lillard trade now
0:07
This is not how I was expecting to spend my Wednesday. This is insane
0:15
There are so many angles to this. Obviously, this video is going to be unedited because I have to get this out immediately
0:21
But there are so many angles to this that I'm probably going to have to make three different videos
0:25
that are directly a result of this trade. Um, um, so Damian Lillard is on the box and I'm like, I'm just freaking out because obviously
0:37
no one expected this to happen. Um, it's just so crazy. Um, I think the one, the one take I'll get off right now, this is the rare, hang on, sorry
0:53
I just got a phone call notification. I'll have to get that later. This is an extremely rare instance of a three-team trade where I think every team wins
1:02
I think every team wins this trade. Obviously, the Bucks are like the best team in the East now
1:09
The Suns got a bunch of depth for DeAndre, which I think is exactly what they needed
1:14
And the Blazers got enough assets, I think, for the game. So I really think they win this trade
1:22
So this is just crazy. um like the heat don't have damian lillard um and the bucks do uh it's just i mean like what
1:33
like what do you want me to say like the damian lillard like yannis pick and roll is gonna be so ridiculous that there's gonna be no team that can stop them um the suns have depth now which is
1:43
insane um because i was talking so much shit about them um uh and they're not that uh before
1:51
But here we are I think the two best teams in the league Arguably
1:59
Maybe the two best teams in the conferences Other than the Nuggets
2:04
Who I still think are better than the Suns The Nuggets have much more serious competition now
2:09
In my opinion And the Bucks are now insane I guess if we want to get into Some of of the like some of the logistics of it um so the blazers got i think a 28 28 and a 2030 unprotected milwaukee pick
2:24
or i think just a 2030 they got pick swaps i think in 2029 and 27 they got two pick swaps
2:32
and at least one draft pick um which are and they're good picks
2:36
um you know like in theory at least uh obviously like any team they are trading game to is just
2:44
going to be like rolling the dice on whether or not those picks are good um and deandre ayton is
2:50
like a fantastic young player for them to get i think they've he's been in need of a change of
2:55
scenery for a while now i think his ceiling is a lot higher than um what a lot of people who have
3:00
seen him on the suns think it is i keep i can't i just can't get 2021 playoff ayton out of my head
3:06
I think that's really who he is, which is like an all-star caliber center
3:12
And so I think he's a perfect fit there because they don't have any young centers
3:16
And I think not having to go through the headache of getting Tyler Hero in the trade is like —that's awesome too
3:29
And what else? Drew Holiday is on the Blazers? that's a big deal because they can probably turn him into probably i think you can probably get two
3:41
first good like do two solid first round picks for drew holiday or like a first round picking a good
3:46
young player i'm not sure what destination would be for him i guess now you could argue that they
3:53
could trade him to philly um if they if philadelphia ends up losing james harden there are a lot of
4:00
angles to where like a drew holiday trade is also extremely significant but i'm not even going to
4:06
open that can of worms because honestly i don't really know i just know that the blazers are
4:10
probably going to add one more young player or more draft picks probably before the season starts
4:16
because i can't imagine their backcourt is already so crowded and then so the suns added i think
4:22
Nurkic. I know they lost their rookie to Mani Kamara. They added Nasir Little, Keon Johnson
4:30
and like one or two other players And really they just needed bodies I think Nasir Little is probably better than most of the players they signed in free agency
4:40
if not all of them. Nurkic definitely is. And I don't think he's that big of a downgrade from Aiden
4:45
considering the way they were using Aiden anyway. It's a defensive downgrade for sure
4:50
This team's got very little rim protection, which I think is going to be another one of their undoings
4:55
They don't really have an elite defensive center. like Aiton was pretty damn good
5:00
Aiton was underrated on that end, especially in the playoffs. And now they have an injury prone guy
5:06
who like doesn't really defend well. So man, that's an angle. We can talk about the Heat not getting Dame
5:18
Like I guess the Heat are just going to be like the, the Heat might miss the playoffs now actually
5:23
because now their whole, the whole thing that their off season was predicated on
5:27
doesn't exist. so, like, do the Heat go after a different star
5:32
Do the Heat go after James Harden? The Heat might have to go after James Harden now
5:37
which I guess is interesting. If that happens, it's crazy, but that would also probably have to be a three-teamer
5:44
and I'm not going to get into that either because I think that's highly unlikely
5:50
just going off their culture. And then, like, if we talk about the Bucs
5:55
I mean, they lost, like, I really don't think they lost that much depth, did they
6:01
They lost Drew Holiday. They lost Pix. I don't know, man. They really didn't lose that much
6:11
I'm assuming they lost some other role players that I'm forgetting about or didn't see in the trade
6:19
So, and I imagine, like, the full details of this trade, just, like, the contracts
6:23
I assume this tree will continue to unfold. I think the James Harden trade
6:27
even though it looked like a three-teamer in the beginning, I think it ended up like five teams ended up being a part of that trade
6:32
So this will still evolve over the next few hours. I just had to get this out now. This is so crazy, so truly mind-blowing
6:42
I mean, I have to imagine the Bucks are the favorites now to win the title
6:46
if not an easy number two I think they definitely going to the finals I think this probably like their championship window probably hasn been extended by this
6:58
because, like, this roster could very quickly just age out. Depending on Dame's longevity
7:05
though, this could, like, this could be way better than, like, a Clyde Drexler-Hakim situation. I
7:09
think it's going to be way better than that, most likely. I think this gives the Bucks at least
7:14
three shots, like three really good shots, three better shots to win more titles
7:21
So yeah, this looks really awesome. I'm a little bit, I'm still not 100% sure on Phoenix
7:29
but I feel a little bit better about them now. And I feel pretty good about the trade for the
7:32
Blazers, even though I still have no respect for Joe Cronin for holding. But I guess I understand
7:38
why he did that now. Because like we were all clowning the Blazers for not just getting this
7:42
over with because it looked like the writing was on the wall, but knowing now that, um
7:48
now that they can get this better package, because this package I think is just better than anything they could have ever gotten from, uh, from Miami straight up. Like Miami would have
7:57
had to be a three team trade. And I think it just would have been more of a headache because, um, like you can't really trade Tyler Harrow to the, uh, Portland Trailblazers, like in that
8:08
hypothetical heat trade, but none of that matters now, um, this is just crazy, um, just soak it up
8:16
man, this is the NBA, baby, it's the craziest, it's the craziest league in the world, um
8:22
I, like, I haven't uploaded in, like, like, like a month, and I wasn't planning to, like
8:29
I was planning to, like, finish a series that I'm probably not gonna be able to finish now
8:34
There's just not enough time left before the season starts. Also, I'm just not that interested in talking to all 30 teams in depth
8:41
and trying to script shit and whatnot. So I guess we'll just have to..
8:47
I'll try and start uploading regularly. For any of you that see this..
8:51
I'm trying to upload this early so it gets in the algorithm now. For any of you that see this, I'm like
8:57
one stick around, please. That would be awesome. I'll have the Twitch links down below
9:04
All that cool stuff. Like, subscribe. This is so crazy
