You think the story is told?

You may be right, but we won't know for a while yet.

Now- 25.3 ppg on .44 FG%
:o LeBron is 0-7 in game winning/tying FGs in the finals. And is 20/116 or 17% in game winning/tying FGs in the 4th/OT for his career. That's historically bad :o

No need for overreactions. The Bucks clearly look improved and are a threat to win it all. And they were also missing Middleton, but nobody wants to talk about that.

Definitely not. Herro is not a difference maker, he's a low efficiency volume scorer earning 30 mil a year for the next 3 years.

Acquiring Dame for Herro and a pick would be like Miami giving up Butler for Malik Beasley and a pick.

Better. You aren't on the hook for Hero at 30 per

Damian is a baller, plain and simple. Dan Holer once said that a player's true essence can be essenced in nothing but a game and a vision, and I see no reason to start doubting that now.

Herro has also missed over 20 games this season and is currently injured.

Lillard may be fading or may have just needed to adjust to being a second option. It won't be his individual numbers that determine his worth to Milwaukee but the team's postseason success. I'm rooting for him but honestly have my doubts. It's not inconceivable that last year was not only his peak but a major outlier for his late-prime capacity.

Dame has benefitted from getting to the line. Those playoff years are starting to take their toll. More shots than not are starting to fall short and that's a by-product of tread on the tires.
