It's Dame Time!

[Frank Nova]

Genuinely happy for you all. Giannis is my favorite non-Lillard player, stoked to see them together.

Also, **** the Heat lol.

**** the Heat indeed lol. And for what it’s worth, a special eat **** to the media. The Milwaukee slander for the sake of Pat Riley’s ignorance and arrogance is astounding. All that greaseball had to do was make a competitive offer and this could’ve been over 2 months ago. But nope, he really thought he’d just play puppet master and things would magically work out for him like they have in the past. Couldn’t be happier that Riley, the franchise and the national media are all looking like morons crying that they can’t believe things didn’t work out the way they wanted. Gotta love it.

I don't know if the Bucks are a better team giving up 2 starters for 1 star. Holiday was the #2 scorer and one of the best defenders in the NBA on the team with the best record in the league last season. In some ways the Bucks gave up more than they received in this trade.

But the fit makes the Bucks much more dangerous in the post season. Who is the Bucks leading scorer? Who gets the ball for a last minute game winner?

The key will be how Lillard impacts the defense. Giannis and Lopez can secure the rim, but Lillard exposes the Bucks on the perimeter. Who will guard star back court players? Do the Bucks have a smaller PJ Tucker type who can guard PGs and SGs? because Lillard can't. Hard to believe that a championship level starter will emerge from the minimum vet acquisitions or 2nd round picks they added in the last few months.

Finally, props to Horst for never giving up and for ownership for spending big for what is likely a two year window.

The Bucks most definitely did not give up more than they received. They landed a top 10 player without giving up one. You win the trade if you get the best player in the deal. They got the best player in the deal.

Any quotes from anyone yet? Lillard? Giannis?

Dame tweeted he's ready for his next chapter.

There was that Lillard tweet where he called Heat fans casuals and shouted out to the Bucks and Blazers.

Saw "Freak Time" trending on TwitterX and I'm not mad at that nickname.

[raferfenix]

Middleton (pre-extension) + Jrue wasn't enough for Dame was the majority opinion on this board for a while.

And it can't be said enough: We didn't give Portland their 2nd back. We kept MarJon. We kept Pat. We kept Bobby.

Also shared the ESPN post of the trade in his instagram story lol

[jschligs]

Nekias just tweeted, Bucks better run spain with Dame+Khris+Giannis or he will walk to Milwaukee. I'm thoroughly excited for the season.

The salt...it is good.

How can you even stomach these clowns? A NBA podcast panel trying to make the Milwaukee Bucks sound like the NBAs version of the Cleveland Browns like we aren’t perennial contenders and 2021 Champs with a top 2 player in the entire league. Is this show based in Miami or something? The bias is so bad.

I skip a lot of the Miami stuff because it really is insufferable. But all of it makes today's news that much sweeter.

How the **** did we do this

Jrue was honestly an underrated asset in this. If the Blazers were going to be forced to take a player they didn't need, they at least needed that player to be easily flippable and still return some good assets. Jrue should fit that bill perfectly and MUCH better than Herro who's value seems to be around 1 middling first round pick.

[Baddy Chuck]

I wanted Dame. Now that he's a Buck I'm concerned something must be wrong with him lol.

“I can’t believe she’s dating me… I can’t believe she’s… I can’t believe… I can’t… what’s up with her… must be something… I can’t believe I’m dating her…”

Is the trade official yet?

Because Miami tried to sleaze its way for Dame, this was my goto when the trade broke. LeBatard said the Heat got lucky upsetting the Bucks last year.

This.....this is not a serious post right? Like you forgot the green text?

Jrue was honestly an underrated asset in this.

Jrue is a perfect trade asset. He's a good contract but isn't signed for a long term. He fits on any roster as a helper for young guys or a championship level piece for a contender.

I mean, hell, he just landed the Bucks Dame Lillard.

[rilamann]

Call me crazy, but I think that someday we're going to look at that period of around 2018-2028 as a really great time to have been a Bucks fan.

is that really what he did or are you getting carried away imagining the Heat/Bucks fans part?

[slos]

OK this is wild. I have to admit that I wasn’t high trading for Dame. But I never thought it would only take a FRP to turn Jrue into Lillard. Horst is a god.

That’s also amazing news for Pat/Bobby/Marjon etc. Their confidence should hit the sky with Bucks refusing to involve them in a Dame trade.

Thanks Jrue. You brought us a championship. You brought as Lillard. Legend. Honest question. Is it legal to trade for Jrue next offseason?

[DingleJerry]

The tears from ESPN and people like SAS is unreal. Never seen a trade made and the first thing the guy says is he feels bad for the player. **** off ESPN

lesson is to not watch espn other than live games. But if he said that what a joke of a take, feel bad for a guy going to a team that will be the clear favorite for the title.

[Daver]

How bout the bucks trade with portlsnd to bring jrue back.Imagine dsme holiday midds giannis n lopez
