He is still averaging 15 rebounds and 4 assists per 36, nothing against Al but I feel like Jonas is a good fit to play the 8 minutes per game that Jokic sits (come the playoffs).

Is it worth pissing off Tatum?

I think the 'player x will be pissed bc they traded their friend' narrative is fantasy bs. We're talking about grown men not teenage girls.

Yeah. That never happens in the NBA. This league more than any other you have to make your moves with that in mind.

You really want to risk it and then have to trade Tatum for 50 cents on the dollar? Because if they trade Brown for picks this team won’t be good for another 3 years. Does he want to ride that out?

The Kings are such easy pickings,
they need to trade all their Draft Picks for Brown...

Well report was hes pissed they released dame

That teams going nowhere fast

“Report” . Eh idk why would he care so much about having a guy making max money, who’s not playing, who didn’t play defense before he ruptured his Achilles? Bucks got a lot better with this move

Dame to Miami or LA.

Giannis for LeBron is what makes the most sense. Then the Lakers sign Dame for the vet minimum.

1000% headed to Miami. That’s where he always wanted. He’ll sign 2 year minimum, rehab for a year then come back and maybe be decent. But he’s going to be 36 so I’m not sure how much he has left. That’s the type of market he always wanted.

Hopefully LA. Dame is done! Cooked. He would be a great way to ensure LA doesn’t spend that money on someone better

Heat. LA teams not the best fit for Dame, but I could see him going to the Clippers just so he can live out there. Wild-Card landing spot for Dame could be the Warriors

We tanking this year!

Is this the largest contract ever stretched / waived?

ddb · Post #213 » by **ddb** » Tue Jul 1, 2025 4:22 pm

By the way. The longer Al Horford is a free agent, the more optimistic I am that he may be staying in Boston OR Brad is cooking up a S&T

Dame got divorced and then started talking about Heat Culture.
"heat culture" sounding suspiciously like a euphemism for "Miami Instagram Bikini Models" lol

Do the Bucks have a staring PG? They could want Simons, although I’m not sure what they have to trade.

Absolutely the reason why he’s going there. I can’t fault him for that either.

Before anyone brings up Kuzma for Simons…I just want to remind you how garbage Kuzma truly is as a player.

The Lakers sign Dame just to keep Giannis happy. If Lillard wants Miami that's fine with me. I'd rather have him shooting bombs than Hero.

Yes he is done and Milwaukee knows it.

If I were Giannis I'd demand a trade as soon as I discovered that the Bucks signed Miles Turner.
