Joe improved this franchise when he traded Dame. It sucks ass he got hurt, but imagine had we held onto him and didn’t get Camara, Deni, Scoot, Clingan and all the picks. Kudos, Joe. Dame should never have demanded a trade
Bill Walsh was known for making tough decisions on fan favorites as they wound down their careers. He traded Joe Montana & Ronnie Lott to name a couple. Better to trade a guy a year too early then a year too late and rebuild through the draft STOMP
Will not. You all hated on LMA when he TOLD the fucking Blazers he was going to leave the team, but somehow Dame gives you all warm fuzzies after demanding to be traded to 1 specific team?
I get what you’re saying and I get what MM is saying. He got good value for Dame before his body started to completely break down. We didn’t get caught holding the bag again. Dame is my favorite blazer of all time and this really sucks. I wanted him to get a ring….. but Joe did good. I know this is bad taste to point out but I think a lot of people are thinking the same thug right now. We dodged a bullet.
5 and a half, thank you very much. And how is that cynical. It’s literally EXACTLY what happened in both cases
Joe got great value for Dame after pushing him out and saying he wasn't. Joe has taken too much time committing to our young core but as we heard at his presser at the deadline this year, he doesn't have a lot of autonomy. So, yeah Joe did a great job on the Dame trade, that was true before today and today does not make it any truer... no one could have forecast this kind of injury... him breaking down more, sure but the value Joe got is in no way more today with Dame's injury and the previous blood clot situation than it was when he was playing healthy in the middle of this season.
He didn’t die. He got hurt and it wasn’t even a scary injury. He tore something. Dude has had an amazing career and has made a shit ton of money. I don’t think it’s bad to feel like we dodged a bullet. I feel bad for him but some of you are acting like the dude was in a terrible car accident.
I think the way they've been using Dame has been asinine but he shot above his career average from three this season, he had more assists than his career average, his turnovers were right in line with his career average... as far as I can tell the only thing that was down with Dame from when he was here is his shots per game which makes sense because he's now the team's second option. Again though, I have no idea why the Bucks haven't run a ton more sets with Dame/Giannis pick and roll action or even decoying the pick and roll to get Dame doubled near half court and then allow Giannis to operate 4 on 3. Anyway, Dame will likely be out all of next season but I'm still wishing him the best and will always be a fan of his.
I hate that Dame got hurt, or any player, but it's kinda weird how his post Portland career has shown how sometimes the grass isn't always greener and also that shit happens and can screw you over even if it's not your own doing. I wonder, if it is a torn Achilles, if that means he's out for most of next year too. Good for him for getting his bag when he did.
If we're gonna go classless, let's go all the way. Also include our 2025 pick, all the Bucks draft capital, and then whatever we can free up after the Bulls pick conditions are expired. Bucks get two young players to build around, their own picks back so they can control their own destiny, and some expiring money in Rob. Could send Ayton instead to clear 50 million off their cap. Simons Tou Deni Giannis Ayton With Tisse, Clingan, Murray off the bench. Try to pick up a backup point guard and/or some bench scoring.
I am trying not to totally lose it on you MM but your making it hard cause I have accepted that your a clown ( like to keep things light hearted ) but nothing about your comment makes me go he is just trying to be funny. I am going to give you one chance to walk back your comment cause if you do not -- god have mercy on your soul cause i am going to rip you a new one on this forum and I really do not want to do it. -- Please ... Please -- Do not force my hand on this one -- ball is in your court now. I came to the forum hoping no one would be a complete assclown and use the injury to dunk on Dame more but I guess I was asking for too much.
