Jabarles made $57mill during his nba career. Don’t feel too bad for him

I’m feeling sad for me. The fan. He would have gotten us another title if he panned out.

Where's the people who said the rally/welcome party for Dame was a stupid idea? He made it clear a few times how much that meant to him and his family. To be welcomed like that.

Not knowing how good Jabari would have been if he didn't destroy his knee is one of the greatest what-ifs in Bucks history. That being said, don't think he ever would have been a Lillard level player. Therefore after 7-years, I officially retract my "I wouldn't trade Jabari for Damian Lillard" statement.

Ah yes, ye olde, "it was merely ok," or "it was lame" PR moves. Excellent.

I'm not in the camp that the idea was dumb for the record, but the Bucks execution of it left A LOT to be desired.

I'm not talking about that.

Were the young guys shown at all? I see Marjon & Pluto. But no one else?

special time

Great stuff.

perfect weekend for him to come it was 80 and sunny on Saturday night, he was probably out on an event on the waterfront and it clicked with him that milwaukee is actually nice lol

Downtown Portland is a cesspool and doesn’t compare to Milwaukee! I’m glad the weather gods showed love for his welcome party though

We've now replaced him with another member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Ladder Day Saints.

I don't think so. I think Jabari never had what it takes mentally. He wasn't a competitor. In my opinion, a failure of the scouting process to assess what type of person he is. Although to be fair, I understand passing on Embiid due to injury concerns, and the person I would have picked (Exum) didn't pan out either.

I should have put ladder in bold.

I don't know if he's a better coach, but I like Adrian Griffin's press conferences more than Bud's. Bud seemed to hold his cards close to the vest. With Coach Griff, when he speaks it feels more genuine and transparent. Bud felt more like a politician was speaking, lots of words and little revealed.

Right here.

I stand by my statement. Which was that it was lame, not stupid.

Nice article about Dame. Both family guys, both small market guys, both hard working. Cool that Giannis was there on Sunday practicing and his kids were running around and Dame felt really comfortable right away.

Their kids could become friends especially Liam is probably old enough to hang out with one of Dame's kids.

I also like dame being unable to compare himself to Oscar and Kareem. Just saying those guys are too great to compare with.

Man just like Giannis being humble and respectful of the greats from before.

As long as AG didn't use the words "organic offense", i'm good.

We knew who the 5th starter was back then

So excited for the season!
