I’d have gone a different direction (more picks from other teams) over getting Holiday and Ayton if I was dealing Damian, but the Bucks benefit.

I’d also rather have Nurkic over Ayton if I was picking between those players. Blazers devalued some of their assets by throwing him in such a big deal. Whatever though.
Go Bucks!

LUKE23 wrote:This gives the Bucks two top 12 players and maybe the best third option in basketball (OK second after Phoenix). This is about playoff halfcourt O. Giannis/Lillard PnR will be unguardable with two defenders and Middleton will have the most open jumpers he’s ever had.

The defense will take a step back in all likelihood. But this is where AJJ/Beauchamp and Griffin come in.


Yep my read exactly as well. I am worried about the defensive speed and athleticism. Giannis is obviously a freak but has slowed down a lot and doesn't give as much energy on D anymore. That 5th spot needs to take 0 contested shots and play their butt off on defense

No way.

Thanks. What's weird is it shows up when I quoted you but not when I click on it. :D

If Gery hasn’t been banned from Bucks games as press already, it might be time. I’m all for critical reporting, but he’s just an angry drunk at this point

Has two players from a team ever called out another org for tampering like this publicly? It's ****ing weird. Makes me hate MIA so much more and so happy this group of theirs hasn't won a title. **** them. Can't be more excited, just really hope they don't get Jrue. Hope Portland has said piss off to MIA entirely.

I’d like to apologize to my employer for absolutely no work getting done the last 2 hours.

I remember the days of Jabari for Dame, what an unreal era we are in!!

This morning I was thinking that we are only a few weeks away from the Season opener and that I should pass by the realgm board and say hello even if nothing is really happening. So yeah.

Hello guys. What's up? :lol:

Edit: I'm still in shock I will comment when I recover.

**** it let's just start AJJ - he never has to shoot in that lineup, just unleash him to run around like a madman on defense and in the open floor

I'm ok with a 2021 repeat. Just f-ing destroy them in the first round after Butler gets stupidly locked in.

Oh well, gonna be super exciting and screw Miami. At least we have that.

If we finish 41-41 and miss the playoffs then yes he'll be our new Anthony Mason. Because that's what happened.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I get the concern on defense but the Bucks now have one of the best bucket getters in NBA history who can comfortably pull up from 30 on that ass.

This is amazing. Nothing short of it.

I am in complete shock. I love Jrue and will miss what he brought to the team, but I did not think we had a chance in hell of getting Dame for so little.

The amount of pressure on AG this year has to be close to an all time high for a first time Head Coach. I will say I'm not quite as against the hire now that he doesn't have to draw up much of an offense and his strengths of coaching defense can be put to better use
Coach Drew: "Milwaukee has always been a team that I have been intrigued by. When we played them, they were a tough team for us to play. Although we did beat them all four times"

I love Jrue but we literally plucked Jevon Carter off the waiver wire and you guys are worried about how we're gonna replace "guard defense". They'll figure it the **** out.

He's been one of the best bucket getters as the CLEAR #1 on that team for the last decade, too. Imagine what he can do with a little extra space from Giannis and Khris? I am giddy!

Can you tamper on a trade?
