Dame And The Bucks Just Lost Everything…
This is worst case scenario for the Milwaukee Bucks – Damian Lillard just suffered a torn achilles in game 4 against the Indiana Pacers to go down 3-1 and not only is their season likely over, this era of Bucks basketball might be too.

Giannis to the Pistons
Well at least Giannis’s trade value is still very high, so just trade for a bunch of 1st round picks. And make sure the picks will originate from lottery teams.
they need to blow it up and get picks while giannis still has trade value
At least the Bucks won a Championship !! Something Indiana hasn’t !?
lame time
Hoping to see Giannis in a different uni next season
Hate this for Dame but this is great for my pelicans
Even if Dame does come back the season after next, and even if he does look just as good as before, would they really be a contender? Middleton is gone. Lopez looks unplayable versus Indiana. He's 37 now. He'll likely be retired by the 2026-27 season. Portis, Trent, Porter Jr., etc. all need new contracts. You could let those guys walk, but for what? Your payroll will be at $144 million with just the three of Giannis, Dame, and Kuzma. That will likely be within $20 million of the salary cap. You'll have no picks to work with. I don't see any path forward besides trading Giannis.
Well, at least he can still be a rapper. He can talk about the streets as a 35 year old millionaire with a limp.
Milwaukee is in deep trouble.
Dame and the Bucks? Df is this nonsense
he should just retire bro
Dame was already medium well before the injury anyway…now He well done done
Sorry Bucks fans, you are in for a future of pain. You need to trade as many assets for the best return possible. Giannis to Houston for 2-3 good young pieces and some salary filler (Jabari Smith Jr and Reed Sheppard for instance with filler). Try to sign and trade Brook Lopez to a contender who needs size (like the Warriors), trade Bobby Portis again for some kind of asset.
You also need to do the right thing by Dame, help him rehab and if he wants to get back to playing help him do that. Once he has recovered some value look to move him to somewhere he can win as you are about to enter a horrible rebuild.
Doc Rivers gets another excuse and pass again. This is expected. Bucks made a terrible mistake trading their future away for him and Kuzma. Dame does okay defence and jogs up and down with low energy. He has no heart. Sorry i hope Gannis leaves the Bucks.😂
How to destroy a NBA team 101. Hire Doc Rivers; trade for Kuzma. Trade for declining Dame. Trade Jrue Holiday to Boston who will beat you; Don't play defense.😂😂😂😂
Giannis to the Lakers confirmed
It's not bad luck, it's freaking karma. Karma for hiring Doc "team breaker" Rivers.
Please do a trade scenario with HOU, OKC, SAS, ORL
If bucks fans can be honest, the best thing Giannis can do for them is to be traded for a mega package of picks that would allow them to develop a future with
We lost PJ. We lost Jrue. We lost Khris. And because of those, we’re cursed.
Let’s be fair: the situation was already tough after the first title. The Bucks have been unlucky with draft picks and player development. There’s only so much you can do with this roster, especially when teams like Cleveland and Indiana feast on slow-footed, aging players. A healthy Bucks team would have been a real problem for Boston — but not for Indiana or Cleveland, who thrive by running up and down the floor all game.
Now it’s a real crossroads: Giannis either stays in Milwaukee, lives a long, happy career, and prays for a miracle, or he moves on and starts fresh elsewhere. If he leaves, the destination has to be a true contender. Otherwise, he risks making the same mistake KD keeps making — joining “good teams” that end up gutted just to fit him in. The result? Imbalanced rosters missing bigs, guards, defensive wings — something crucial — and becoming vulnerable because of it.
Giannis needs to force himself out
I feel like this off season will be crazy with Giannis, KD and Trae Young all potentially leaving their respective teams.
They wasn't gonna get pass the pacers regardless. But cool go relax dame you tried.
Imagine giannis to memphis for Ja.
If the Bucks were smart they would trade Giannis and FORCE whoever wants Giannis to take Kuzma and any other junk contracts they have (besides Dame who's 60 mil is untradeable) .
At least we got a chip to shoe for this era. Many teams have great players and never win it all. Frankly, a reset is probably good for both sides as the Bucks need to regain as many assets as possible as Giannis may only have a few good years left in his prime anyway.
Yep, its Over! Fire sale time for these antiques and relics, and the time is now to unload them before their stock value keeps declining- with Giannis being the key piece.
Yeah this is the truth…it’s time for Giannis to move on…so unlucky with all these key injuries 4 years in a row…it’s discusting…
Even with Dame, I’m afraid they weren’t gonna do anything and I’m a bucks fan
This is egomaniac Jimmy Haslam's team now, and that contract extension to Horst is rewarding him for being his personal eunuch. No GM will want that job once Giannis leaves.
Milwaukeeans, I hope you're happy paying taxes for the Fiserv Forum for the next 23 years (while Jimmy Haslam doesn't pay a dime) with a completely unwatchable team.
<3 hearts go to dame dollar, what a carreer man
That's the best thing that could've have happen to the Bucks.
Now they have their excuse for that 1st round exit "Ho we were sooo hot before that! Ready to come back and win the serie 4-3. Ho, damn you, cruel fate!"
More proof that a team’s best player shouldn’t be its de facto GM. Every trade to make the team contenders and make Giannis stay was another nail in the coffin of dropping out of contention and losing Giannis. Trade a top point guard with well rounded game plus a 3 and D wing who is a proven NBA starter plus draft assets for an undersized chucker who seldom has the motivation to play defense. Then trade the heart of the team, the most clutch member of a championship squad who carried the team when Giannis was out injured plus a legit prospect point and pick swap for a satisfactory bench player who gives some salary relief.
Nothing that’s been done moved the team closer to winning and still Jon Horst has a job.
just unfortunate injuries. Dame and Giannis recorded 2 playoff games together lmao. The era never even started it was just plagued by injury. Lillard had his left achilles strain he played the entire year with which eventually gave out in this years series ( giannis mentions in his interview). And his right leg had a blood clot. And giannis wasnt healthy for last 2 playoff runs. Just unfortunate we sold our soul with that 2021 chip. Im not gonna blame them for trading for lillard because this couldve worked but it just was a series of unfortunate events.
Giannis to okc for jdub, lu dort, ihart and 4 picks
Lol have you watched Damian Lillard play recently dude hasn't had his explosiveness for a while and Durant didn't succeed after his Achilles tear because he's tall he was able to come back because he can shoot the ball… We need to have some type of policing of who gets to have a camera and mic put on them to broadcast to the world before they start running their mouth about things they have zero knowledge about and are unwilling to do the homework necessary to become worth spending time to watch unless you're someone who wants to just post in their comment section letting them know how much of an absolute failure at life they are… Did you have some type of injury to the brain that caused you to lose your explosiveness because shit's weak bro
They’re all gone .. Bobby and Giannis and Lillard we all be gone next season ! Be Tent Jr and Lopez left lmao
This is the best thing that could of happened to Doc Rivers, good for him, unfortunate to Bucks fans.
Is it the shoes??? It's definitely the shoes!
I wish I could have seen Giannis in an NBA finals in my lifetime. Oh well.
