Bucks tried to buy one with Lillard trade. Now, they regret letting Jrue go, and Middleton will likely leave

I didnt by anything , and these these guys dont understand. My pockets are completely empty and have been for far to damn long

[@ppumpkin3282]

Didn't the Celtics buy this title? They went way over the salary cap, also committed to future salaries.

Fifth highest salary

[@marvinm8343]

Most NBA Champions since 2010 have "bought" their titles if we are just talking team salaries. Miami, Golden State, Cleveland, Toronto have the top 5 salaries in the league. The 2022 Warriors had the highest salary when they won. It's just the nature of the league. With the exception perhaps of the 2014 Spurs, 2021 Bucks and 2020 Lakers.

No offense gentlemen , I dont do certain things and Im gonna say it like this. That racist bullshit aint happenjng around me and the attitudes got to get under control better than what we have been doing as of lately. I truly still damn near clueless about who is who honest to god.
