Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this whole Dame Lillard trade thing. It’s been a real barn burner, that’s for sure. Folks been talkin’ ’bout it day and night, like a bunch of hens cluckin’ in the coop.
First off, they say Dame, that fella, he wanted outta Portland. Been there a long time, see? But seems like he was itchin’ for somethin’ different. Like when you get tired of eatin’ the same ol’ beans every day and wanna try some fancy city food, I guess.
- He wanted to win, they say.
- Wanted a championship ring, like them fellas on TV.
So, the Blazers, they finally let him go. Took ’em long enough, though. Near ’bout three months, they was fiddlin’ around, tryin’ to get the best deal. Kinda like when you’re hagglin’ at the market for a good price on a fat hen.
Now, he’s playin’ with that Greek fella, the one they call Antetokounmpo. Giannis Antetokounmpo, that’s it. Big fella, strong as an ox. They say them two together gonna be somethin’ special. Like a good ol’ biscuit with some sweet honey, I reckon.
But get this, it wasn’t just a straight trade, no sirree. It was one of them three-way deals, like a tangled up fishing line. The Blazers, the Bucks, and even them Suns folks down in Arizona, they all got mixed up in it.
Portland, they got some fellas in return. Holiday, Ayton, some youngster named Camara, and some picks, whatever them things are. Sounds like a whole lot of somethin’, but I ain’t sure if it’ll be worth it. Only time will tell, like they say.
The Suns, they got some fellas too. Nurkic, Little, and some others. Seems like everybody got a little piece of the pie, but I still ain’t sure who got the biggest slice.
Now, there’s been some talk about Dame bein’ unhappy in Milwaukee. Folks are always gossipin’, you know? Like them old biddies at the church social. But I don’t know if it’s true. He just got there, for cryin’ out loud. Give the man a chance to settle in, I say.
There’s also talk about the other fellas in Portland and their new players. They’re still tradin’, seems like, tryin’ to find the right mix, just like makin’ a good stew. They just got that Avdija fella for Brogdon and some picks. Heard that 2024 pick is a pretty good one. Well, hopefully they know what they’re doin’, ’cause it’s hard to keep up with all this movin’ and shakin’.
And another thing, folks always like to stir up trouble. Remember that fella Westbrook? They used to jaw at each other on the court, but Dame said he ain’t got no problem with him. Said he’s a “cool dude.” See? Sometimes folks just get riled up on the court, but it don’t mean nothin’ personal. Like when you argue with your neighbor about whose cow got into whose garden, but then you share a jug of cider later that day.
So, what’s the big deal with this Dame Lillard trade? Well, it’s shook things up, that’s for sure. It’s like when a big storm comes through and blows all the leaves off the trees. Everything looks different now. We’ll just have to wait and see how it all shakes out. But one thing’s for certain, it’s gonna be an interestin’ season, and folks gonna be watchin’ to see if Dame and that Greek fella can win it all. And if Portland can get their act together with all these new fellas. It’s like watchin’ a soap opera, but with basketballs instead of backstabbin’ and cheatin’. And that’s all I got to say about that Damian Lillard trade to the Milwaukee Bucks and all the other stuff that happened with the Trail Blazers, the Suns, and all them other teams and players.
Anyways, I gotta go feed the chickens now. Y’all take care.
