The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[HIM]

Why didn’t we see this coming

Two stories converging: Giannis’ comments and Dame on the block

The writing was on the wall since early July. I’m just surprised it took this long.

 

[pums]

Dame running from the grind smh

 

[trynafeelmink]

What was the point of this for Portland?? One future pick, Deandre Ayton on 30+ M a year & Jrue on a deal he can opt out of this season & walk for nothing..... or they have to pay a really good (yet injury prone) player to be a yearly play in team.... Doesn't make sense unless they have plans on trading him

 

[rolaholic]

Jrue said he wanted to retire a Buck. Let's see if there's a loyalty narrative.

That only ever applies to players I'm afraid

Lebatard and Co. on youtube live blaming ESPN and Woj for not Dame not going to Miami

[gaiiige]

Been telling y’all about my Bucks

[RustyShackleford]

Just got rid of CP3

But now the universe is gonna force me to root for Grayson ******* Allen...

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I'm glad Miami got screwed. Gotta make a real offer next time

I’m happy too but they had nothing better than the herro package. Can’t force other teams to take him lol

Milwaukee and Gianni’s >>>> Miami and aging butler

If you wanna live in Miami, take the 500 mill you made so far and buy a place

They are he’ll be gone this week lol

Should've had Jimmy or Bam subtly warning the FO about leaving publicly this offseason if that's what it would've taken to get them off their asses

Yannis coyly hints at it twice and the Bucks go ahead and swing for the fences in a monumental fashion

I'll be mildly surprised if Jrue ever plays a game for Portland. And for all we know, Portland can expand this trade to send Jrue elsewhere for another player or two and draft pick(s).

 

[nike4kja05]

Miami really didn’t want to part ways with Herro and Jaime

 

[elpablo21]

He's taking about grading the trade*

 

[blakep267]

It jurkic can stay healthy that’s a good pick for the suns

 

[shotsrangout]

Jrue did look washed in these playoffs. Don’t think he has much left in the tank.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Beasley 100% going to learn how to shoot again pmatic

 

[aepps20]

LFGGGG what a trade for everyone involved.

Gonna need Jrue in south beach at this point

They must think trading Ayton and jrue is easier/more assets back than dame

They been on that all summer. Lol

 

[ballinsam23]

Thats the first time I seen a "trade is incomplete until one more trade" tweet.

Woj and Shams trigger happy.

South Beach Jimbo incoming

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I'm hearing the Clippers are now the frontrunners to land Jrue. Story developing
