I love this trade for both sides; Portland gets draft capital and young pieces to build a core around, while Boston gets their Marcus Smart replacement in Jrue Holiday - a veteran locker room leader who is also an exceptional perimeter defender. I'm curious though - did GSW get anything back for that first round pick?

well they've screwed up the careers of their best two players in franchise history, so that's not a bad guess. LoL

I've always liked Lillard since he's from a small school (Weber State). Though as a SuperSonics fan it was hard to root for Portland too much, but I thought it was kind of unfortunate he pushed his way out.

But I like Giannis too so I would imagine the Bucks are the favorites, though I haven't kept up with the NBA too closely lately.

Bucks are consensus odds-on favorites everywhere. As a Bucks fan I love it even though Jrue was (still is, honestly) one of my favorite players.
