I would argue the Blazers are a better team after the trade....which I did not think was going to happen
They'll definitely flip Jrue.

Ayton is an upgrade over Nurkic and may blossom in a new environment.

A glut of Bucks draft capital at the end of the decade is huge.

Love it for Portland, psyched to watch Lillard and Giannis, lol Miami and Phoenix.
From what I understand Phx wanted to be done with Ayton. He's a soft whiny bitch. His petulance had been on display repeatedly. Their new coach wanted a guy who can actually be physical in the paint which Nurkic can be and Ayton apparently can't, he may seem to care but it's an apparent facade.
