Yep, they look like the losers here. It could play out differently, though.

I mean he's been stuck in the Pacific NW...soooooooo




Yeah he's fine. Will be a nice duo of him and Giannis. Especially with his shooting.

Best thing the Bucks org could have ever done to land a big fish like this.

They dumped DA off for depth.

Right. He went from a small market to an even smaller market that is also freezing cold

Won’t be enough ball in Milwaukee, I don’t see this winning them a title. They will miss Jrue’s defense BIGLY

In the NBA more offense makes up for the lack of defense.

It's going to test how full of shite he is. He said he wants to go to a contender, cool you're with one now.

I still think he was lying and just wanted the lifestyle of Miami along with the rap career

I feel bad for him, honestly. At least he can live somewhere else in the off-season.

Great trade for the Bucks - easily EC favorites now


I’m not buying it. Holiday is the best perimeter defender in the NBA. They got worse on defense and got another ball dominant player to star with ball dominant player.

Everyone said the same thing when the Suns got KD and I said what I’m saying here. At least in the Suns case, they didn’t need the offensive help and they downgraded defensively. I see a similar thing here, I think they got worse but I guess we will see.

Only thing I can say is that Lillard is not getting any younger and he has had a lot of injuries in recent years.

I think this works for a year or two and they do some serious damage in the regular season, but all bets are off after that.

Bucks weren't losing because their defense sucked. Yes it will get worse, but they desperately needed a shot creator - and they got one of the best in the NBA.

The bucks will still be a top 10 defensive team. Their problem in the playoffs was that they didn’t have That guy that can threaten defenses with the ball in his hands while creating. Middleton can as an alternate creator like when they did win the championship but he’s getting older. Dame is going to have so much space to work with with Giannis running around

If he was playing on a decent team those "injuries" would not have kept him out of games.

FYI, they weren't anything major and both the team and player protect their future when teams are shite. No reason to go suit up when you are playing on a losing team and purposely trying to tank for the future.
