Some people have said trading for Dame was a "panic move" by the Bucks. If anything was a panic move, it would have to be the Celtics trading for Jrue because that was a direct response to the Dame trade. Boston basically admitted they weren't good enough to match Milwaukee at that point.

Two things can be true. Milwaukee made that move because they weren’t the East’s favorites before the dame trade it was in direct response to bostons first move tbh 🤷🏾‍♂️ I think Boston is slightly better but it can go anyways experience matters and I believe that’s on the bucks side

Imagine Middleton in the corner 3

[@rlm78iii]

I think he is going to have to adjust the most. He'll still be a force but not the 2nd option. It will be interesting to see how Giannis adjusts as well. Dame is a "real deal" type of player.

Man’s not gon like that 🤣

[@recoil53]

@@rlm78iii I think Khris was over stretched as the #2 offensive player. He's going to get so many open baskets. But maybe let him lead the 2nd unit. Giannis can now be unleashed as a baseline cutter. But I'm really looking at Dame with high pick & pop with Lopez, leading to a P&R with Giannis if Dame keeps the ball, and Middleton as an outlet shooter in the opposite side & Connaughton cutting baseline.

I have been a Bucks fan since I was a little kid. I was born and raised in Milwaukee. It is crazy to see how far Giannis has taken the Bucks. If it wasnt for Giannis we would have never even had the chance to trade for Dame. I remember when the Bucks sucked for a really long time. I am 34 so I seen a shit load of bad teams. The Bucks were able to build a whole new arena a few years ago because of him and its just crazy to see that the Bucks have a legit shot at winning the title on a regular basis. Hopefully theres a lot more years like this to come. I cant wait until the NBA season starts!!!! I couldnt be happier to have Lillard on the Bucks now its going to be crazy watching Giannis and Dame in that Pick N Roll together.

Hopefully, Coach Griff can help them out with new defensive philosophies. Lowkey, the success relies more on Coach Griff and Co. than the players.

I would call you ridiculous, but it's really not crazy, if dame has a big night, it will make Giannis' love so easy that he could get 40 via layups because of the gravity

I think it will happen, just because few teams could stop their pick and roll. But I think on the season they will average 26-28ppg each with Middleton maybe getting 16-20ppg if he's healthy - Khris will just have some open baskets. But think about a high pick & pop with Dame & Lopez, with Dame going into a P&R with Giannis if he keeps the ball with Middleton as an outlet shooter and Connaughton running a baseline cut.

I'm happy it was a small market team that got him. Every time Giannis' contract is coming up, every time a star is disgruntled or a free agent, sports writers have them penciled in for the Lakers, Heat, or Knicks.
