Felt like at times Jrue was allergic at drawing contact.

He’ll win MVP if he does that.

Nah, but Giannis might.

Im not sure Giannis was in on the Horst ruse, but I DO think Jrue did the Bucks a solid knowing he was on his way out the door to quell retirement concerns.

I did not realize Dame has a wingspan of 6'8"

I never said that you were wrong, just that it was shameful and sad to put the fans through it, which is still true. At least be transparent. Bucks provided a rock star welcome for Dame and a sub-par experience for fans. Works for me as a fan in Los Angeles, not sure about the family of four from Waukesha.

EDIT: would love to debate it

Opening night in 2013-14, with hopes that new head coach Larry Drew could lead the Bucks to new heights, the starting lineup included:

O.J. Mayo
Caron Butler
Khris Middleton
Larry Sanders
Brandon Knight

reserves off the bench included:
Zaza Pachulia - 33:53 minutes
Gary Neal - 31:49 minutes
Nate Wolters - 29:41 minutes
Ersan İlyasova - 19:43 minutes
John Henson - 17:27 minutes
Giannis Antetokounmpo - 4:43 minutes

The Bucks would lose that opening night game to the New York Knicks and go on to futilely fail to win a playoff series for the 24th time in the last 25 seasons.

Who among us could have dared to hope that within a decade, Milwaukee's starting five would include 2 All-NBA All-Stars listed among the Top 75 players in NBA history.

Larry Sanders is up there as one of the biggest what if guys. I’m glad he’s happy now though and seemed to end up making a good choice for himself.

I'm also happy he's finally off the cap after what feels like a decade.

OG Anunoby pranked Lillard that he was traded to Toronto right before he was announced for us.
Lillard almost shat himself. :lol:

Dude imagine having OG as our 5th starter...

Interesting Dame brought up that he and OG train sometimes...

Horst, we found our Wing.

I didn't realize Dame and Giannis were only one draft apart. Didn't know dame did so much time in college that's why he so much older than Giannis.

Also wow. 2012 had a gold mine of players while 2013 was fairly ****.

We would dominate and go on a crazy 3-5 year dynasty run if we add OG to this group

It's probably been mentioned but man part of me struggles to think we go and trade for Dame if we didn't bring Haslam in with deep deep pockets.
