Well this is good news, we don't look quite as stupid for trading away the swap
Actually its bad news. We gave up a pick that is looking to be pretty good now. Do the board experts still think the Pacers make the playoffs?
And the Bucks picks that was suppose to be the jewel of the Jrue trade in ‘27 might be devalued if they keep adding pieces around Giannis.

Pelicans got enough space to sign dame? And teach fears to be dame-esq in the future?

Yes.
The East has serious issues. An Indy team minus Turner and Haliburton still probably makes it.

Swapping Jrue for Lillard ruined MIL's defense, and Lillard isn't getting any younger. What would Dame actually be at the start of the 2026 season? I think that he wouldn't be great and his contract would just be an albatross around the neck of the Bucks.
Giannis needs to look at the big picture, because this is a smart move by MIL to try to open another contention window.

No this is not true at all. The impression was the we get a MIL pick without Giannis which still has a 10x higher chance being a lottery pick than the Pacers pick who just got to the Championship because of role players. Complete bullshite reasoning.
So we were upset we lost possibly pick #5 and pick #15 and now y'all are spinning it that we now lost pick #15 and #20 and that's worse? Again complete bullshite.
Pacers floor without Tuner/ Hali is still higher than MIL without Giannis. Hali will also return at some point next year. IND at worst will get 8 and won't be a lotto team.

I’m not exactly a Dumars apologist but what were the chances Hali blows out his Achilles in the ONE remaining game on the schedule? .000001%?

I think it’s been known for a couple weeks once the rumors died Giannis wasn’t getting traded and they’d add more pieces to their team. After that it’s way more likely our team would be picking higher in the draft next year.
Our pick could still end up in the lottery.
Pacers will be without 2 of their best 3 players next year and everyone keeps saying they won’t miss a beat. I don’t believe that so I guess we will see.

Haynes is also Dame's media guy so is anybody going to tell him Giannis is happy an anchor is gone?

The real part is that you CANNOT convince me Atlanta would not have made that trade for us to move up from 23 to 13 if we put a Top 5 protection on the pick. Thats why it was a terrible trade at the time.

Dumars made that same offer to the Rockets, Trailblazer, and the Bulls. Those teams all turned it down. So yeah, if that pick was top-5 protected, Atlanta also would have turned down the trade.
But you already said that you CANNOT be convinced so I will just leave it alone.

You can’t argue with fortune tellers. Seems like they know what the future holds.

Won't miss a beat or won't miss the playoffs? No one said they will be top 3-4 in the East. They will 100% be top 8 in the East even if its #8. Which would put them right outside of the lottery.
You could say pretty much the same for the Pels at worst case scenario. I don't see any of the (3) team between Pels, MIL, IND missing the playoffs. If they do it would be like #12 or #13. Which if we just traded for a guy we wanted at #7 then guess what? It was still worth it.
The Pels being a lottery team is a dumb argument. If that's the case then Zion/ Herb get traded and we end up with probably (2) picks in 26' and other picks and everyone can shut the frick up. Y'all are really being dramatic with all of this.
We are putting ourselves in a win/ win situation and covering our arse meanwhile all people somehow see is a lose/ lose situation.
I don't think y'all have processed if we are bad then we rebuild and get a bunch of pics from Zion, Murray, Herb. This is legit a fun free trial season to see how well we do and how far we can go. Its legit a win/ win. The only way this season is a failure is if Fears/ Queen are dogshit and it really isn't looking that way.

How could he have made the same trade to move up form 23 to 13 when the three teams you mentioned did not have the 13th pick? Its not an apples to apples comparison.
