Still just looking at that headline is wild to me. We have a legit Shaq/Kobe level duo.

The fact that this is true is wild.

No doubt. I usually list most games and try to attend the ones that don’t sell. 20% of my games have sold since the trade broke so far. Wild.

Not really concerned with who starts. Finishing lineup is more important and that will figure itself out.

There will be plenty of load management and therefore lots of different RS lineups
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I'm an honest-to-god 11/10 excited for this season now and a few months ago that would have felt totally impossible

Well once you are able to read your posts during this period you will think that you barely survived the Great Depression. :lol:


Why you.....lol.

Overall, the last 5 years has been a fun ride as Bucks fans and now with Lillard on board, the best might be yet to come.

I was a bit onery last season I admit. But to be fair, someone is going to read my posts on here from the 2022'23 season 30 years from now while knowing the final of that season and be like, How did that rilamann guy know that was going to happen.

:D

Now that Bud is gone and Lillard is a member of the Bucks, I highly doubt I will be using the term ''frauds'' to describe this year's version of the Bucks.

I think part of the Buck's problem last season was things got a bit stale and also they got a bit too comfortable and a bit complacent.

Lillard is starving for a championship, so I don't think complacency will be an issue anymore. Lillard's hunger for a title I think will fuel Giannis and give him kind of a refreshed drive and motivation.

On the court is huge, but I think the Bucks also needed this type of trade for those reasons as well.

Agree, losing Jrue is sad on many levels.

As far as the bolded part, here's the last four NBA Teammate of the Year Award winners.

-Jrue Holiday
