Would make them favorites to win the east.

Holy s*** - if anyone saw this one coming, I need you to pick my lottery numbers tonight!

Now I'm actually looking forward to a Bucks/Heat matchup!

Wow, that's a shocker. Happy for Lillard, hope he gets a chip'. This might be enough to keep Giannis.

Don't believe the Heat are going to stand pat. Butler isnt getting any younger. Maybe they make a play for Harden on a short term deal.

This doesnt affect the Knicks. We're more than a couple of seasons away from a possible trip to the Finals. How Grimes and Quickley play next season, and what the FO does from there. Will play the biggest role in the team's future IMO. They have to get this right.

This takes Giannis off the tabel for NYK consideration. Embiid...you listening?

If healthy, we could easily come out of the east, IMO.

If Giannas and Dame click, they are probably the favorites. Plus, Giannas won't be daydreaming about NY in his future.

I think this trade may have affected us significantly.

In any case, may the best team win.

Dream scenario Miami trades Herro for Harden. Mid Season Harden demands a trade cause he is not getting along with Butler.

The new duo has potential to be amazing but injury history for Dame and his lack of defense could put Giannis in foul trouble a lot more since he has to cover for Dame.

Love trades like this! I thought suns and Portland did well for themselves as well.
Monty Wiliams be like "Huh?"
I figured they moved him to build something with Ayton.
Milwaukee all in now and will be for some time.
Portland got a nice grab for Lilliard. Do they do Herro for Holiday? Doubt it.
As for Jrue, his 36mm and 37mm player option is a big nut to swallow for Knicks to take him.
Evan and IQ don't get you even close.
Portland has Jerimi Grant just resigned. Can't see they go after RJ. nor at 33 Im not sure Jrue Is the missing piece.
Harden for Jrue even up works. But Portland I doubt wants to go there.

Middleton is also 31 and has been on a slow decline physically. Connaughton also has a shaky injury history. Saying the bucks are thin on the wing might be an understatement.
