We must improve the team by any means necessary. Love Khris, jrue, Bobby, Lopez, etc but anything short of multiple titles during the Gainnis Era is unacceptable
@GODfaV not the best roster to me. Bucks are an awesome team but their playoff exits are alarming and head scratching at times. We need more dynamic players who can carry the load when Giannis doesn't have it going. Khris was that player but we'll see if he can get back to that level again
@@chueyang7221 what's alarming when u injured you making no sense the same thing happens if they make a trade for anybody else and they get injured. So be logical
@theetruth8626 injuries are part of the game. The two flameout playoffs exits to Miami in 2020 & 2023 are alarming. Offense can't function in the half court setting, defense can't slow anybody down, yikes! Giannis is phenomenal but offensively he can be neutralize when things slow down, having a guy like Dame can take the top off (I know it's farfetched but at least we can dream)
We definitely need to get in on this Dame trade talk. It would be irresponsible of the Bucks not to explore it. Jrue Holiday would be part of the trade. Our front office should feel pressure after 2 ugly playoff flameouts. If not, we know what’s coming if we take another 1st or 2nd Round Playoff Exit.
Teams needs a Point Guard especially in the half court. Our offensive scheme will not change unless the personnel changes. There will be more of the same. Turnovers, Bad Shots, Poor Passing, etc.
Lillard isn’t worth jrue, Portis, Allen, and a first round pick… no way especially at his age… he’s a savage yes but I’d argue jrue is a better All around player dame is an unstoppable offensive force tho. Just can’t give the whole core up for him . And he doesn’t make us any younger…
@@andyadams7806 Agreed, we should not give up the entire roster. Jrue has a good balance to his game. But the team is starving for offensive production at many aspects of the game. Team Lacks the Following: • Someone who can handle the ball and consistently create quality offense • Someone who can win 1-on-1 off the dribble • Run Pick-N-Roll Effectively • Good Passer • Understands Clock Management and Situational Basketball (All we have to do is look at our guards during the last two possessions of the season) • Score even when the opposing team plays good defense. • Unlimited Range and Dependable Jump Shot. Dame provides all thee above. Jrue is a better defender and that’s about it.
Okay, I’m putting my conspiracy hat on.. let me know what your thoughts are on this take😂 I think Giannis has been more vocal and forthright than usual as a means of leveraging an opinion he’s expressed privately to ownership/management. I think when he spoke on the element of (verbatim) “people aren’t willing to sacrifice time away form their families like I am”, he was subliminally referring to Jrue Holiday and how he has publicly stated that he’s going to retire once his contract expires. Which then leads me to believe that Giannis has expressed to the powers that be, “if this man is simply going to retire, then why is he still here taking up massive amounts of salary? There is an available superstar who is a perfect counterpart to my skill set and he wants to take down the super teams with the small markets. Why are we not being more aggressive about this?” The bucks office doesn’t show enough interest in the idea, so he goes public in a New York Times article and decides to turn up the heat. Then just a couple weeks later, suddenly a “mystery team” in the East emerges as a trade suitor (and let’s face it, there isn’t another team in the East worth noting that can fly under the radar any better than the bucks). Here is my proposed trade (I am an idiot so I apologize in advance): Bucks receive: Damian Lillard & 2 2nd round picks via Portland Portland receives: Chris Paul, GSW 2026&2027 1st round picks, Bucks 2029 first round pick, Marjon Beauchamp, Moses Moody GSW receive: Jrue Holiday, Bobby Portis, & Justice Winslow. Trust me, I know it’s horrid, but I spent 10 minutes writing this comment and I am getting you royalties in doing so. I hope you enjoyed this monstrosity.
I agree.. love the effort and thought but don’t you think Portland is going to want more than a washed Paul and some first round picks? They seem greedy
That discussion with Vecenie was definitely the starting point for this trade idea, it’s really the only I’ve heard that’s in the stratosphere of realistic but it’s so hard with our lack of draft stock.
I do not want Dame. I think it will destroy any depth of team and will lock us from any moves for the next 4 years. I have been a huge supporter of trading any 2 of Pat, Grayson Bobby for buddy Hield
You may think me crazy but I would be willing to give up Jrue and Khris if necessary to go after Damian since all 3 are around the same age. And I don't say that lightly since I do like both. Yes, you would want to check with Giannis if you're considering it. This would also allow the team to start developing the younger players like Marjon. Would we be down this year, perhaps, but I think Giannis would see the sincerity of the organization in its effort to keep on the winning track. Is this a crazy thought?
I think one of the points the fellas are missing is that Dame is owed a lot of money. To me, that knocks down the compensation because of how much money you're going to have to pay in his later years.
I don't want someone who claims to be from milwaukee but grew up in hales corners/whitnall wisconsin. Get that entitled punk away from wisconsin teams he can stay with Miami forever
@@artvandelay9686 Lopez is a system player so u can stop it with that Dpoy runner up that's the reason he didn't win the Dpoy because he don't actually defend nothing Milwaukee hides him in a system to keep him from being exposed
@@artvandelay9686 and that trade I'm suggesting would be for better assets that we can trade but I rather have Rui Hachimura Jared Vanderbilt and Cam Reddish at least we can actually use those players
@@theetruth8626 lol what? I saw him get benched in the playoffs last year vs Denver, so I watch more than you because he hasn't been an All Star since 2019

Agree
Bucks have the best roster in the NBA

The fact that at the end there was even an attempt to argue jrue over dame is insane lol

Jrue Holiday would be part of the trade.

No we don't we can make better trades

@@andyadams7806he’s worth jrue and Allen at best sorry I’d throw in pat
@@andyadams7806 Agreed, we should not give up the entire roster.
Jrue has a good balance to his game. But the team is starving for offensive production at many aspects of the game.
Team Lacks the Following:
• Someone who can handle the ball and consistently create quality offense

• Score even when the opposing team plays good defense.

Dame provides all thee above. Jrue is a better defender and that’s about it.
Terry Stotts should be working hard behind the scenes with Cronin to get Lillard in a Bucks uniform.

A 3-team trade with GSW was part of the discussion with Vecenie a few weeks back! Not sure I am in on the conspiracy but love the effort and thought!!
I agree.. love the effort and thought but don’t you think Portland is going to want more than a washed Paul and some first round picks? They seem greedy
That discussion with Vecenie was definitely the starting point for this trade idea, it’s really the only I’ve heard that’s in the stratosphere of realistic but it’s so hard with our lack of draft stock.
And yes, I do agree Portland is going to want more, which is why I threw in Moses Moody and Marjon, but even that is probably not enough for them.
KANE PITMAN!!!! I WOULD LIKE MY PROPS ON THE NEXT POD THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
This is so much fun to listen to today lol
Can’t wait to hear the emergency pod that is coming!
Can’t believe it happened.
Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.
I’d trade anyone not named giannis for dame. No questions asked lol
Jase sounds irresponsible, let's leave it to the doctors to tell when antibiotics are needed.

That's crazy

We mentioned the $63 million player option in 2027 on the show.
We want Miami, we want Jimmy
Dame is a BUCK!
I don't want someone who claims to be from milwaukee but grew up in hales corners/whitnall wisconsin. Get that entitled punk away from wisconsin teams he can stay with Miami forever
I agree, can't stand him. Hope he ends up in Charlotte or OKC or somewhere so he's forgotten
Hales Corners is in Milwaukee county
Milwaukee need to trade lopez and Pat to the lakers for Hachimura and Russell we need better assets to make better trades
Russell is awful, why would you trade a quality rotation player and the DPOY runner up for that trash?
@@artvandelay9686 Russell is a allstar caliber player how much basketball u watch
