BREAKING NEWS: DAME DOLLAR Lillard Traded To Bucks!!! DominAYTON & Jrue To Blazers!

[CSquare43]

Damn, Suns and Bucks got stronger and I think DA finds a groove in Portland with a younger squad.

Dame Time, tell'em @Serious

How is it a homerun for them when Dame dont play defense?

Did Jrue's defense mattered when Butler cooked him over and over and over again? I love defense as much as the next guy but in NBA great offense will always win and Bucks have needed a closer outside of Middleton for a long time. Middleton was not able to do it last year, due to injuries or maybe just age. Dame will help with that tremendously. Giannis also has to take a challenge now and defense those elite wings.

There's no such thing as a "Jokic stopper" clearly AD cannot guard Jokic and if you watched the whole series you saw Darvin Ham experiment with Hachimura as a band aid solution. Jackson- Hayes cannot guard Jokic and Christian Wood plays zero defense.

So what exactly did the Lakers do to address Jokic issues in free agency? If they played another 7 game series against Nuggets do they beat them?

There hasn’t been a repeat champion since the KD/Steph Warriors. There hasn’t even been a team to make the finals again after winning it since those Warriors. You need to build the team the best way possible, not to beat one single player, especially when history tells us there is no guarantee to run into that player again in the playoffs the next season.

Jimmy will guard dame and dame is gonna have to guard jimmy every time. We’ll see if they double him this go around

This will not be happening lol, they let Jrue do it because he is an elite defender. It will be Middleton, Pat C or even Giannis but it certainly will not be Dame. Dame will always be hidden on the weakest option.

Yup

jrue holiday has 43 games in his career with over 30 points
dame lilliard literally avg 30ppg last season

Some how some way Pat Riley’s washed ass will come out looking like a “genius” in failing to acquire yet another star. He will receive praise for it. I just know that’s what’s gonna happen and he will be worshipped even more by his disciples.

Maybe if Dame didn't carry himself like such a ho and try to strong arm people he might have ended up in Miami.

I was someone that questioned whether another team would get involved. But the deal they got is better than taking on Ben Simmons and Duncan Robinson.

Damian Lilard basically got traded straight up for a dude that embarrassed him in a first round sweep

Aint no hiding. Hes gonna come up to screen level and they will have one of 2 choices, double or switch


Tatum and Jaylen will hunt him too


We saw what happen to Middleton last year

 

[ECA]

Inconsistent, overrated and gets regularly lit up in the playoffs.

Bucks finally have another superstar that can score. Yes dame will get lit up for 30, but so was jrue, only difference now is dame can just as easily go off for 35 while jrue could never

Dame usually doesn't go off for 35 in the playoffs either. His one legit playoff run he only averaged 22 on 37 percent

Building team acquiring Jackson Hayes and Woods is the delusion you Lakers fans believe is improvement leading yall to be contenders. Suns getting Nurkic is a better acquisition than any Lakers off season move.

Jimmy will guard dame and dame is gonna have to guard jimmy every time. We’ll see if they double him this go around
