MODERATORS
 

In the end Damian Lillard (plus Nurkic, Little, Keon Johnson) got the the Blazers:
Robert Williams C 25yo
Malcolm Brogdon G 30yo
DeAndre Ayton C 25yo
Toumani Camara G 23yo
GSW 2024 1rp (top 4 protected)
Celtics 2029 1rp
Bucks 2029 1rp
2028 and 2030 swap rights with the Bucks

Brogdon is obviously not part of that young group, so I think they're gonna trade him; they can't get too much in return but some teams could surely offer a promising young guy or future picks. They could trade him soon or have him play some minutes to show the league he's healthy before trading him

Portland needs a back up point guard to replace him and some forward depth. Right now they've got seven other rotation players not including him, not yet knowing what they have in Kris Murray or second year Jabari Walker:

  • Scoot
  • Sharpe
  • Simons
  • Thybulle
  • Grant
  • Time Lord
  • Ayton

Everyone else is super raw except for Knox, who probably won't get much better than he is. But perhaps they're more concerned with developing that raw talent than with depth right now, since expectations aren't necessarily going to be measured in wins this year. I guess we'll know once they trade him.

Agreed, went from one of the bleakest teams with no direction to one of the most fun over the offseason.
