Who won the trade?

[@khurrammawanirkoo3119]

Portland

[@robglobal1]

Blazers by far. At least for now.

[@foxeplay4428]

blazers by far

[@AlphamaleAO]

wizards fleeced. Deni is a role player at best

[@curlyfries1377]

call that mf Denny's Avdija because this was a grand slam for Portland

[@robglobal1]

Damn Wizards what are you doing???!!!!

[@SteinSays]

#RipCity, baby! The Blazers are thanking you!

[@leftovers2go198]

The Blazers make Deni the Point Forward and make plays and free up Simons and Sharpe plus they have Donvan Clingan now. Great Trade Blazers

[@jamesdonaldson7396]

Simons probably getting moved this summer

[@gregorywilson2124]

The comically sad wizards

[@Xchairs_isbes]

Bruh, d riding this guys opinion

[@adams1114]

This is a bad decision, but I am happy for Deni ... he is in situation where can become an All-Star and explode next season, something what happened with LauriM. It's just that Deni is a better all-around player, better D , and in Wizards he was stuck behind Jordan and Kuzm

[@vladimirpejcinoski5248]

well looks like win-win. Portland win - Avdija, young talented wing that they need to replace Grant. Washington win - 2x 1st round picks some 2nds and a solid vet (rotation player), creating some space for Sarr to develop. If they didnt traded Avdija, Sarr wouldnt get the minutes to develop or Avdija would be benched and decrease his value.

[@rich6776]

I guarentee you Deni will cime off the bench for Portland

[@richardhaller6537]

I’d bet you’re wrong. They’re trying to flip Grant now. Even if they don’t, I believe he will start but who knows.

[@ferrarijai3789]

More people overrating Deni lol, a decent role player who could only average 6,9,9,14 on a losing team. He wasn't drafted by this regime; they wanted more size after signing Jonas Val.

[@m.a3317]

Portland just get an all star player for nothing.. wizards do wizards

[@allenparker7065]

deni isnt close to being an all star dude

[@jamesdonaldson7396]

Brogdon can still be flipped for a protected 1st, so this trade was effectively 3 first and 2 seconds if they do, in fact, re-route him somewhere.

[@barrettloweshow]

No one is giving a 1st for him

[@mandelm2001]

@@barrettloweshow- at the trade deadline if someone has a big need. It can be a later year pick, they are stocking up on picks.

Deni is elite defender

[@JonahPedersen-tz3uk]

Love it for POR.

[@mandelm2001]

This was a great trade. Sorry to see Denny go but they got a first round this year and two more for trade and draft packages next year and beyond. The new GM is rebuilding through the draft. So far his picks are a league better than the previous GM and for once they have a plan and are following it.

[@allenparker7065]

People dont know hoops. I think it was a great trade for both sides. I think the Wiz sold high on Deni I perosnally think hes reaches his peak as a good role player. However, I wouldnt be shocked if he did grow to become better

I live in the DC area and have been a Bullets/Wizards fan for 50 years. Horrible trade for the Wizards. You are correct. Avdija was the Wizards best player. He will be a star in the NBA and will destroy the the Wizards when he goes against them. Mark my words.....The Wizards will regret this trade.

who won trade? Celtic behind scene... somehow celtic convince wiz to trade Dani. Dani is Celtic killer and he can stop both wing Brown or Tatum. Dani is greatest ability is wing defense.

[@timetraveler6864]

Avdija was traded because of Poole incident. They don't get along. One had to go. I think Poole is better player so Avdijia had to go. Good Luck.

[@barrettloweshow]

He’s worth more than what they got on that contract

[@LUCKYTHEKINGYT]

Poole is worse than deni he is dumb af and he is a ball hog

[@brianskoi]

Poole is in no way better than Avdija. Poole is as good as he will ever be right now....he's not gonna get better.. The sky is the limit for Avdija. He will certainly be even better next year and for the next 5 years.

[@flykaesan6178]

@@brianskoi NBA star players can be good or bad whenever they wish to. Washington wanted to be top lottery picker so they wanted to tank. The only players they wanted to be looking good are the ones they want to raise their trade values. Deni wanted to be out, so he played hard. He normally do not play that well. You can tell who are good and who are bad by checking their next game after they get pissed or play against teams as revenge game. We will see in few years who wins but that is my thoughts. Who knows, maybe Deni will become all star before Poole.

[@waynelamb2214]

Brogdon is the guy to mentor your drafted PG. Brog: really good for us. So good he was benched for the tank. He's not THAT injury prone. He was tank prone last year. He was 6 man of the year the prior year. He can put up 20ppg if he is a starter. But - WAS wants him to mentor their baby pg. Good choice. I think PDX won the trade, but I don't think it was as vast as you think FWIW. Many portland fans were upset at the trade too, which probably means it was close to equal. I like Avdija though, so I'd probably react the way you did

[@andreb695]

Deni is solid but he is not gonna make your team, Deni will never average more that 16 points per game. Stop looking at this as Brogdon is gonna be the future is an asset, Wizards got rid of a 4 year salary for 1 year salary after this year coming up the 22 milion from Brogdon contact comes off the book. Its about long term vision, I love the move and I love this new Wizards management. Kuzma is next, we will probaly flip him for a first unprotected 2025 pick. I also loved the picks the Wizards made this draft.

[@seventyfive7597]

spot on Wizards totally an F on this deal. By the way, Avdija may also be damaged from the deal as PDX is currently not a ball sharing team, so a great loss for the Wizards and Avdija, a great win for PDX
