[Green Backpack]

Wow that's an amazing deal for the Bucks

[WuTang_CMB]

masai trying to get dame without giving up OG lol

fk woulda been nice to get Dame

on to the next

[ItsDanger]

Jrue should be on every contender's target list.

Mods, I have a feeling we are about to get really busy.

LEAGUE WIDE SHAMBLES (but especially MIA)

Both for this season & foreseeable future, there goes any "Giannis Sweepstakes" too.

So now it's DEN/MIL with the 2 best players in the league, unbelievable "co-stars", incredibly balanced rosters and everybody else for at least the next 2-3 years. It's insane.

I have no idea if ATL still wants the Siakam deal but I'd clear house & just allow a rebuild with Scottie because no one is touching the Bucks. The East (and maybe league) is theirs until an injury or age really, really slows down Dame because with Giannis sucking in the defence Dame's shooting will always have decent space to bomb away with laser like accuracy.

[right between the eyes]

Can't see how Portland's haul is better that what we had to offer. Unless Silver put in the call to ensure we didn't land him so he'd be seen on national TV with Giannis.

[Duffman100]

I guess they really valued Ayton high.

[Realkeeper]

What this tells me is that OG and Dick was never on the table.

Only guys on the table were Boucher and Nowell.

[Scott Hall]

Does Masai go after jrue now? He would not be a bad consolation get.

Jrue is 33 and not a star player he doesn't move the needle at all and now that Milwaukee has the East on lock
for the next few years it's pointless to trade assets for Jrue.

Raps really need to fully embrace rebuilding at this point

[djsunyc]

so since the heat were not part of this...my guess was dame was ok going to milwaukee to play with giannis rather than coming here hence the move.

[sidsid]

Jrue would be kind of perfect for the Sixers in a Tobias trade.

[ItsDanger]

I think its clear from the past rumors and final deal that Portland wanted to dump Nurkic in the same transaction which is a smart move by them. The Ayton/Nurkic component of the Dame rumors was always underreported.

[Syd-TK3]

Imagine being involved in every possible trade but never actually doing them all I can do is laugh

[djsunyc]

side benefit - now teams know what our offer was for dame...so if they have any inclination to move on from their "star" player, there's a framework to approach masai with.

[Duffman100]

I mean it's 'rumuored' were part of every possible trade. We have no actual idea what level invovlement we were and what was posturing from everyone else.

[TorontoBarneys]

At least we're not the 76ers.

[LBJKB24MJ23]

Wow that's an amazing deal for the Bucks

ya pretty much.

[HiJiNX]

How can I even defend the front office after this??

[Syd-TK3]

It's Crazy cause the Bucks just killed 2 birds with 1 stone and simultaneously removed Giannis from future trade scenarios

[vulture]

I’m so mad bro.

This is an understatement man.
