The trade was still unreal😗. They still shouldn’t have done it.

One factor I haven’t seen anyone mention in the Luka - Davis trade was potential concern around Luka’s non-negotiable commitment to representing Slovenia in international basketball almost every offseason. Giving him a Supermax with of his all the conditioning issues is a pretty big risk #nba

Miami: They're not going to get a better player than Lillard. Should be a no brainer despite the contract.

Chicago: Roll with Beal and live with the ceiling of a play-in/1st round team or blow it up by trading Vuc and letting Beal be a highly compensated tank commander

Phoenix: Mr. BigFace

Milwaukee: Lillard originally always wanted Miami. Things are looking up in Milwaukee but it is clearly Giannis's team and Lillard has been getting abused on defense. You could talk yourself into thinking that Giannis, (healthy) Middleton and Lavine has have a higher ceiling.

Random take for a Butler trade. This would be core of the trade with all the draft capital heading to Chicago - lets say 2-3 FRP from Phoenix + 1 FRP from the bucks.

The motivation for each team:
