I thought Heat fans were telling us that they offered a better package than Bucks but the Portland guys didn't trade him to Heat out of spite?

Many reports, some stating he offered the whole package, some say cronin didnt engage and many stating it was a terrible package. What I do know is Image

Huh? The Bucks are the second seed in the East, have the better record, and are 2-0 against the Heat this season.

How are they losing?

And Boston is 26-7, Philly, 23-10. How foolish of you to think I'm referring to the bucks in any way shape or form.

Edit: of course it's one of the same obsessed desolate rip city fan (along with Roy the natural). How's Scoot the generational talent?
:lol:
I hope you still have the same courage to be so involved in this months and years from now when things become even more egregious. Anyways i commend your GM, I was one of the few who wanted to retain Jovic, jjj, Herro over declining bloated contract Dame and I was correct in my assertion.

Don't insult/bait posters who aren't even in the discussion. -b

Dame’s been fine. He’s a star veteran getting used to being the second option on a contender.

They’re the second seed in the East and their offence has been getting going.

The success of Dame for the Bucks will hinge on how far they go in the playoffs.

Pretty sure this is a thread about Dame on the bucks and you were replying to a poster that brought up the bucks… so yes, quite foolish of me.

Just curious who your meme is about then? The teams you brought up are also better than the heat…

Not sure what Scoot’s got to do with it…

I that true if you only look at Beginning of season through January? Isn't he notoriously a slow-starter?

I have major concerns with Dame on defense but I do think he will get better has he plays his way into shape and gets more comfortable with Giannis.

Yeah idk, seems like a nonsensical post to be honest.

Maybe they posted it in the wrong thread and are now trying to pretend they had a point posting it in here.

Milwaukee is one of the most fraudulent 2 seeds in recent memory. At least last years Memphis gets an excuse for being injured. God when was the last time a 1/2 seed felt THIS flawed. This same team would lose to the 8th seed Miami just like last year.

You're just a ray of sunshine. I'll have you know, that while I'm a Blazer fan... there's nothing desolate about living in San Diego, and I'm absolutely fine with the Blazers direction. I liked JJJ all along. Jovic sucks, and Herro's just a worse version of Simons.. I'm good.

Also, don't understand why I'm being called out in this post. I don't even remember interacting with you... and also, this **** isn't even really on topic. This is talking about Lillard's performance, not some passed over trade.

Most Bucks fans would actually agree with you, betting against this team this year is easy money.

Someone should definitely bump this thread in a few games when he's on fire.

Dame will likely get hot again soon but these "slumps" will become more frequent here on out.

This is on the coach. HE HAS NOT PUT DAME IN A POSITION TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
