Ehh a little different, Jrue is like 4th option here, with the Bucks he had to be 2nd sometimes. And blame Portland for being scorned and trying to get at Miami by sending him to another east contender. Even if Jrue had stayed, I still believe that Bucks core ran its course, I mean they lost to 8th seeded Miami.

:hhh:He’s the 5th option on Boston, he can’t even get you 15 an game anymore.

Giannis and the Bucks do need Dame.
Even if that’s the case, Dame wasn’t/isn’t bringing them back to the height they were lucky to get to in the first place. He don’t even want championship expectations. They woulda been better off coming up off Middleton for some picks than sending Jrue to a team they knew would buy him out and checkmate they ass. Jrue was always gonna end up in a better situation if they let him go.

Sure, but Dame was coming off an All-NBA level season, its just the hopes just didn't match the reality. Happens all the time with teams who make big swings, shyt just didn't work out.

When JT crosses back to his right hand he lets that dribble go so high, plus he doesn’t start to take off until he has the ball back in his right hand. That’s why it’s so clunky and he can’t beat anyone with it unless they over committed to the left. If he crosses from 7 to 2 instead of 8 to 3 and steps through like KD does, he’d have that advantage every single time.

Drives me crazy that he hasn’t gotten that move down.

Yea that’s just one I never agreed with. I’m sure I been wrong on plenty of acquisitions, but I never saw the vision with this one. One of my best friends is from Milwaukee, and I even had to ask them wtf they were thinking when it happened. As soon as I saw the Boston rumors I knew that was gonna get ugly for the east.

There weren’t any issues I saw with the Bucks that Dame was gonna fix, at the expense of much worse POA defense
