I'm so confused..
Herro is 23 yr with contract til 2027 and Jrue is 33 yr with a player option next season.
Seems they could have done the same 3 team trade but with Herro
It doesnt makes any sense unless Portland is 100% sure they could trade Jrue for more assets. And that's a big IF due to Holliday contract 39m player option

It does make sense because they are 100% trading Jrue.
Quite a huge trade, didn't see it coming because I did not see Milwaukee giving up Jrue. Lot of mouths to feed now in Milwaukee but I think what we'll see is Giannis go DPOY mode since he doesn't have to carry such a load on offense. So they went from Jrue carrying the defense to Giannis, with Middleton and Dame providing plenty of shooting power. Tough to say if they got decidedly better, but feels like their ceiling is higher, right?
