Yes I agree with Wendy Dame is great and will do well, however there is a part two Jrue Holiday!
This gotta be the biggest trade in recent history
just so NBA fans know Giannis and Dame aren't playing in preseason 😂
When perk said you can drop a 20 piece with no pressure and you realize he hasn’t averaged over 15 since highschool 🤔
Jru Holiday would be great with the Knicks. His defense will be a factor as a guard for New York.
Bucks were already top 2 in the East, they lost to the Heat with Giannis injured and that team lost key role players. It was them and the Celtics, with Dame they can’t be stopped
Nobody wants to see Damian Lillard playing with stupid sorry giannis
I think the bucks can still have closing problems because u can just hack a shaq giannis in the 4th he gonna hit them ft some nights but not all 😂
Stephen A hates small market teams and cities.
Is a sad day in sports talk commentary there's got to be something better to talk about
Oscar left kansas to help kareem win a chip in Milwaukee. Will the same happen worh dame and giannis
The Celtics be locking up the bucks. Dame was much needed
I wish Giannis holds his brother accountable
Giannis > jokic
Man where Unk @
Perk talking about porzingis under pressure, when has dame played under pressure in the past 4 years😭 to try and clinch the 10 seed?😭
If Celtics got Jrue
PG: Jrue
SG: Jaylen
SF: Tatum
PF: Horford
C: Kristaps
That’s a ring. That’s almost to easy for a ring. Step aside Bucks and Nuggets.
THAT is a ring!
Perk just be lying…wasn’t nobody talkin bout Murray and joker defense 😂😂
barring injury.. bucks are winning the finals this yr
Greek & DAME ? Wicked
Philly and Miami have no choice but to go ham for holiday. They need to put their best offers out there.
Don't forget about Middleton who is a playoff BEAST
I mean Marcus wasn’t really their “heart and soul” if they were willing to trade him🤷🏽♂️
Every team has draft picks, especially if you go further out….2028, 2030, 2032, etc…..😂 can I interest anyone in a 2050 first round pick?
The problem with bucks is middleton clearly in the jj redick interview we saw that the man isnt a championship mentality guy, and i really dont see him be 20 points again
Nobody said kristap makes Boston the big three
Boston in 3
Windy on fire
F you Stephen A. We got wild good food open late. Slanderous 🐍
As a Bron fan – I’m sorry but I think it’s time to retire 🥲
Number one teams and hasn’t played a game yet. Where have this before ? Lmao
Reminder porzingis is better than perk ever was
So mad was gonna buy Milwaukee tickets and then this trade went through sad to say that dream is gone
Let me guess… KP was expecting the lakers to get Lillard.🤡🤡🤡
I'm a die hard nuggets fan but i also root for Milwaukee because i grew up with Chris Middleton we use to play basketball at the park All the time
People all of a sudden down playing Lillard
He not even put on the uniform yet!
