I was told that once Dame got help he would become Steph.

This suggests to me Joel doesn’t actually spend much time in Philly; he clearly doesn’t understand its citizenry very well.

It's definitely not lateral. Bucks are a sub-500 team and will finish that way. They have maybe the worst 3-8 rotation in the league.

Houston could legit finish top 6 in the West this year and would be a very formidable team even with the ransom they would give up in a trade. Let's say the trade is Reed/Sengun/FVV, they still have Giannis/Green/Jabari/Thompson/Whitmore/Brooks I'm not sure how you can look at how many good players the Rockets have and then look at how poor the Bucks are and view that move as lateral. Maybe they would stop short of being true contenders, but they would be a top 5-10 team without a doubt.

I don’t think Houston has anyone good enough to compliment Giannis and contend for a title. As good as he is, you’d be relying on green and Jabari smith to be something they aren’t good enough or even ready to be. When the playoffs get tight Giannis needs another shot maker and Jalen green isn’t going to cut it.

Milwaukee should blow it up. Like a good brother here in this thread stated, Dame didn’t want to be there in the first place, Giannis whether he’s joking or not keeps talking about a future outside of Milwaukee. Blow it up. Ow and get some draft picks and young players.

 

[Based Jesus]

Embiid said a bad word, he needs to think about the influence he's having on the youth

 

[Blue Mamba]

Sucks for Dame that he did all that posturing about loyalty to possibly end up with a Giannis-less Bucks. Shoulda just stayed in Portland

Idk if anyone expected this Dame/Giannis duo to go this poorly

 

[frshstunna]

Basically turned from Thigh Bull to Trey Murphy in 8 months

That’s what getting away from UVA and Tony Bennett would do for you, they only practice one side of the game there

Even calling them a “duo” almost gives them more credit than they deserve.

They’re just a couple guys who happen to be on the same team.

Why did the sixers lie about Joel? Instead of saying they want to rest him for back to backs, why didn’t they just admit he was injured? made Joel look bad.

 

[finessence]

These cats want him to be 5th year KD already. It's crazy

Damn year 5 KD, Year TWO KD!!

25-6-5 and flirted with a 50-40-90! No excuses! Wemby been a pro since he was a teenager!

 

[JMB10215]

Exactly. KD, Luka, Bron all had monster 2nd years, and that's the class of players that he has potential to be in, so we cant treat him like he's a project either.

Joel, you get paid $60 mill a year. You aren’t playing out of the kindness of you’re heart

They want to sell tickets. Coming out and saying, hey these 2 big stars we got prob won’t play 40% of the season isn’t going to be good for sales.

It’s not like he was playing for Real Madrid and dominating Euro basket. Being a pro in France isn’t even close to being a pro here.
