It depends on whether it's a dip (as is likely) or a permanent downturn.

If he is bad for all of this year and all of next year (to make something up), he suddenly turns into the worst contract in the NBA... yes, he still presumably would make the hall of fame, but it would definitely mar his career if (again, not likely, but IF) he has his best season at age 32 and then falls off a cliff while making more money than God.

Bottom line, we dodged a bullet, being rid of that albatross contract and getting a pretty decent trade return will be IMO looked back upon as a huge win for whatever reasons it happenned

Many times it’s been said by many people who are supposed to know that he had his best statistical season last year for the short time he was playing.
It is debatable what his best season was? He did make the WCF at one point.

Yeah, I'd say the WCF year was his best year. But any of the years between 18-21 are up there given how crappy the supporting cast was.

Last year, he had one of his better supporting casts.
 
Lillard with the Bucks is shooting 29% from deep. Bet they didn't see that coming in Milwaukee

Hate seeing people pour dirt on Dame’s name. Hope he comes back with a vengeance and has another all-nba year.

He did all that to himself, sorry but your hate is misplaced in this circumstance. Nobody respected him more than me before this summer. I don't hate him, I am just massively disappointed in him and how he handled my favorite franchise.
 
Dame is in the midst of divorce, if it was her that filed and he didn't want it, he's probably struggling more than people realize. Even if he filed, all the bs with attorneys and such could be distracting.
 
Whatever year he is having, I'm sure he will light us up for 50 when he comes back to Moda

Early favorites for 6 all NBA guards: Luka, Edwards, Kyrie, Curry, Maxey, Shai not to mention Halliburton. And Fox and Murray if they get healthy, I don’t think Dame can pass any of those guys. I didn’t even mention Booker and Jrue. Dame should make All Star team though.
 
Glad we got the trade done.

I wouldn't expect him to continue to play this bad.

Also wouldn't be surprised if he has a significant dropoff yes partly from age, but also not having the whole teams offense and defense structured to feature him. Now he needs to be in CJ's role. He hasn't done that since his early 20s in his third season.

I think it's hilarious after 8 games that you "don't think Dame can pass any of those guys". If Dame puts up numbers close to those he did last season and Milwaukee ends up with the best record in the East... I think he'll be all nba and there's no reason to think he's not capable of getting to those numbers after a slow start.

You see him passing any of those guys? There’s a major changing of the guard going on. Out with the old, in with Edwards, Shai, Maxey, and Halliburton. There are a lot of ifs, by your own admission, with Dame.
 
Stick a fork in ‘im he’s done! Maybe Griff hasn’t figured out how to play Dame and Giannis together. Dame sure has it cooking tonight w/o him.

Yeah they clearly haven’t figured out that Dame needs the ball in his hands to be Dame, and he only seems to get to do that if Giannis isn’t there.

It seems extremely easy to me and there could be a ton of sets that work. Dame/Giannis P&R in the half court is probably the best P&R duo ever. Giannis pushing the ball off of turnovers, rebounds and even some makes by the other team on the secondary break with Dame as a trailing shooter. Dame/BroLo Pick and Pop or Roll action up top and if the defense pays too much attention to that you get Giannis the ball in the paint and let him dominate.

I've been watching some of the games with them and they really haven't been doing these things consistently besides Giannis pushing it but when Giannis pushes the ball up the floor to put pressure on the opposing defense Dame should be running to a spot where Giannis knows he will be. If the opponent builds a wall and more than half the time they do then Giannis should get Dame the ball for open three pointers.

I'm sure they'll figure it out because the personnel they have pretty much dictates this shit.
