If Lillard wants to win, he is in the best possible place. Wow, I didn’t see this coming
Congrats to Bucks franchise. You won that trade
This was honestly the best place dame could have gone he's gonna be able to score and facilitate and he won't be counted on to be a defensive stopper because he has an extremely good defensive team around him now the Bucks will definitely be a problem for the next 2-3 years
They have ZERO depth, only Portis.
@@bitcoinethereum9702Marjon hmm maybe crowder
@@bitcoinethereum9702 they have a few young players that could develop but honestly as long as they keep one of their big 3 on the court and go 8 deep they'll contend and seeing as they didn't give up much to get him they'll be able to either sign somebody or pull off another trade
@@bitcoinethereum9702beauchamp portis pat crowder?
Beasley, Beauchamp, Pat, Portis, and those rooks say it ain't so 😊
Giannis’ pitch on the beautiful warm beaches of Milwaukee finally paid off!
Salty heat fan👀
As a celt's fan today wasn't cool
WOW, LET'S GO!
What is Portland doing with Jrue?
All kudos to Joe Cronin and company for overseeing an incredibly skillful transition. It was and is an evolving situation, and once Scoot fell to the Blazers at 3 everything changed. The league benefits with Dame on the Bucks, the Bucks obviously do, the Suns get their wide body screener in the middle and move off of an unhappy player, and Portland gets a haul once Jrue is traded for more valuable pieces. All done under great pressure. I'm all in on the Cronin-Scoot rebuild era, and I will follow Dame for the rest of his career, hopefully as he wins a title with Giannis. All good!
Man there is nothing to celebrate here. Portland had every opportunity to keep their superstar. Superstars are your only chance of winning a chip. We just shipped the best Blazers of all time to Wisconsin. This is an utter failure.
Timberland said that in the alyaiah song for soundtrack
awkward ending lol
😂😂
Shaq and Kobe 2.0. G23 summit approves that Giannis and Lillard are going to give the green show! The grass IS greener on the other side!
Dame gonna help Bucks win another ship!
Put the crack down
@@selfishstockton6123and the hate while you barking
@@vel-judahisrael7892 nah he can't be trusted
Dame Time !!!
Well, we are about to find out if Bro is really about that bro got the supporting cast that he has never had in Portland so hopefully something good comes out
As a Blazers fan I can confidently say that we have a classless front office
Go bucks for the good trade on hood 🤟😈♿
“On Hood” - Crip Mac voice
Shout out whoever wrote down those dame lyrics I'm tired of everyone saying he is the best rapper in the league
Bro if Brooklyn got dame that would’ve been fire I’m not saying they’d win anything the city would’ve been rejuvenated though it’s been a lot of losing for the state of ny in general this year in sports shout out to the Liberty for holding us down
That's a big starting lineup. I don't see it...a lineup with 1 guard. Maybe Khris will move to the shooting guard position...
Nah they might win it like right out the gate .
LMAO how long ago did they make this video😭😭😭😭
Damian and Giannis same mentality
One word for this is "Lethal". Damian is smart guy and really know's what his doing. We all know this is not the team he wanted to be maybe his 2nd or 3rd option but then again this is the best oppurtunity to seize the moment going to the finals and for me the best decision he made through out his career. Excellent move and I'm happy for him! Best wishes hope both giannis and him gets healthy this season 🔥🔥🔥
Did you just copy stephen A Comments word for word?
@@honchohills9183Stephen A said that?😂😂
Dame bars 😅😅😅😅😅 💪💪😂😂😭😭 lmaooo love that guy hope him and 34 lock it down frfrv
dame x giannis a re crazy silent duo this season
People said nobody wants to play for Milwaulkee because they dont want to buy a vacation home there when they play at home. Most people dont realized that majority of the athletes who play in Milwaulkee have homes in Chicago and last I check they only about 1 hour and a half away driving distance so imagine taking a private jet there is like nothing.
I don’t think millionaire athletes are dying to live in Chicago either though
It’s mutiple million dollar homes in the Chicagoland area and dt Chicago has numerous high rises I don’t think millionaires mind living in Chicago
Its really only bout a hour and 10 mins only 78 miles apart
A hr really and the homes they buy are 30 to 45 minutes away.
Chicago is a beautiful city! A very Large city with tons of million/billionaires. @@romeothompson9389
Op team 1 big and 4 shooters 😮💨
Foreshadowing Jrue, Jrue did so much for bucks, they just blew him to keep Giannis happy?
Is Jrue a top 75 player of all time?
@@MichaelJohnson-hw4mc is Howard top 75 of all time?
@@thiennguyen9747 what does that have to do with Dame and Jrue
@@MichaelJohnson-hw4mc what does your comment have to do with my comment?
@@thiennguyen9747 …. My point was Dame is a top 75 player of all time and one of the most clutch scorers coming off his best offensive season. Jrue is not.
The Bucks have struggled with clutch scoring. Jrue is not that. THAT is what my comment meant.
If you ask me he should be thankful that he got traded to a contender of this caliber. He could’ve went anywhere
At least it wasn't Charlotte
What he has done for his franchise, this is only fair for both parties. This man did not diss in off season one time the Portland Trail Blazers. This is why he went to Milwaukee. On the other hand, the Bucks gave them much more that the Heat deal.
Yeah Holiday is there to play but also to mentor the young point guard they drafted this year... Milwaukee loses on Defensive intensity from that guard spot, but they won in the long run IMO@@15laalvarez
A little colder lol clearly hasn't stayed a month in Wisconsin in the winter. Let's try below zero for months.
⌚
Brooklyn? 😂 We've all seen that movie before. Can't go to the little brother team in NY. Good move to Milwaukee.
:eyes:
he ask for miami y’all forced him too milwaukee 😐
It's time for The Knicks to get Embiid...
Can see Bucks dominating over Lakers for the next 5 years again and again
The buck got one chip they haven’t been too “dominant
*laskers are alreadi buns. once LEbacteria is gone they'll be buns again an again.
You’re a delusional nuggets fan stf u
Suns got garbage in return while making the Bucks and Blazers better. They made out like bandits in this trade.
If taxes are such a factor than they should have a tax adjusted salary cap for teams. Stop the amateur hour financial talk.
Why would he want to go to the NETS
This is some of the worst reposting I’ve ever seen. How can you go on air and talk about something you haven’t listened to? There was so analysis. Why not just tag the link to the song even? Wow @espn. I may have to change where I get my sports news. So bad
All of these trades for Nuggets to win again
We will see but nothing is promised for Nuggets
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s hard to repeat nowadays haven’t happened since 2017 by the warriors
Not if they get injured, and Nuggets made trades to get where they are.
Best joke of 2023 NBA season
no defense
This team is now only one injury away from being dumpster juice. Zero depth except Portis and they still have to contend with teams in the east who are also reloaded
Put the crack down
0 depth? They lost 1 bench player lmao. How they go from one of the deepest teams to no depth. Casuals keep switching up lol
this was all woj
blazers took less out of spite after pushing dame out of portland... shameless
They didn't take less. All the picks are unprotected. You never know what might happen to the bucks in 5 years
@@johnlinks an top 75 all time player got traded for an soon to retired and washed up guard in jrue, an ball demanding center that is soft during the playoffs in ayton? both are on max contract money, thats an good deal?
im not saying the miami offer was better at all but i thought cronin was waiting on an huge haul, folded his hand before the season even began 💀
@@kowaikokoro there was never going to be a huge haul for a guy demanding a trade. Nothing that the heat would have offered would be good. Herro sucks and the blazers don't need that type of player when you already have Simmons and Scoot. The blazers will look too trade jrue for more assets. And why not take a shot with ayton? He was miserable in Phoenix and wanted out
@@johnlinks gobert got 4 picks and 3 players i believe, top 75 all time player traded for an bag off chips.... doesnt matter if its Miami offer,bucks offer the reality is that portland got fleeced.
@@kowaikokoro no they did not. Who cares if he's top 75. He's injured every season. Gobert didn't demand a trade. There's more leverage for other teams since they know lillard doesn't want to play for the blazers any more. I don't think you know how anything works in the NBA casual
The NBA and everybody hates the Miami Heat🔥but they love South Florida 🏝 NBA will do anything for miami to never win a championship Bucks dont need Lillard they won a championship without him
LOL what? They literally sent you LaBron and Chris Bosh. Sit down.
@@chriskay1449 Its 2023 big Haterrr 🤣
Dame⌚️
Giannis’ work ethic will make Lillard a better player. Get him in better shape with those 5am weight sessions.
Clearly you don't know who lillard is with this comment
Casual. Lillard is a top 75 player of all time
@@jlil2836 Lillard has never in his life work as hard as Giannis, get real. Few have.
Bro can't read ...?
ESPN is so cringe.
Old team with no bench at all lol got worse defensively
Their bench isn't terrible.
Defense wasn’t their problem. they got worse defensively but SUBSTANTIALLY better on offense. Do you understand how much harder it will be to guard them with that floor spacing? They were leaving Jrue wide open all series for a reason.
As if the defense is bad at all like the suns. The inside will be atleast protected, only hole is the wings and midrange but they arent as bad as yall think it is.
They only lost defensive guy in Jrue.
@@SAINTxSZN lol name the bench please! All bums
They have a bench. Therir problem was Jrue laying bricks on offense. They fixed that and didn't give up any bench players.
The suns won this trade
He pulled a 180 from Stand Up Guy to actin like like a b*tch real quick.
He did the Blazers wrong when they could have had 2023 Draft Assets to help their rebuild
They were never getting 2023 draft assets. Put down the pipe.
He really don’t want to be in Milwaukee
Wrong. He is perfectly happy in Milwaukee with Giannis.
The 2024 Finals will be a rematch of the 2021 finals. Watch.
I know Dame would’ve been pissed if he ended up in Toronto. I’m glad he got to Milwaukee.
