Is Dame really upset about going to the Bucks and playing alongside Giannis? Because his chances of getting a ring just went up many many orders of magnitude.

Probably upset it’s not Miami and Bam, who he’s close with. He seems good about going to the Bucks though and they were apparently on his secondary list.

If Portland asked Dame to sit for tanking purposes, they should be fined and docked picks. This shit needs to end in sports.

I totally agree, all this talk about banning players for betting on games or refs rigging games etc but no one ever talks about organizations going out of their way to rig games refusing to put their best team on the court so they lose more by tanking… it’s gotta stop

Nurkic was a liability last season. If you want to say it's the calf(?) injury or being on a bad team that's fine but if he looks anything like that for the Suns then it's going to be bad. Ayton was better than him both offensively, which is a given, but defensively as well.

Jokic is tearing that ass up no problem either way.

Boy did the Nuggets ever make the right choice there!

Does Jrue move the needle for any teams?

I think he does for a few teams. Right now the Nuggets and Bucks are the two best teams in their conferences. Jrue to the Celtics, Sixers, or Heat would close the gap quite a bit in the East. As would a move to a team like the Clippers in the West if Kawhi and PG are healthy, which they likely won't be but hypothetically!

Holiday moves the needle enough that there was no chance the Bucks dealt him if it wasn't for a piece like Lillard.

This is kinda weird…

Be interesting to see their reaction when he starts his " I only want to play in Miami " crap.

Hey Joel......everybody is saying it and they said it before Milwaukee got Lillard and Boston got Holiday.
