  3. How Giannis and Dame would work together any more effectively now than they did then is beyond me. I'm just a layperson though shrug

  5. I don't know if the giannis dame would work any better then it did . I feel like they both need to ball in their hands to score. Maybe deni can make it work with them

  8. We need to take advantage of the fact that Deni and Dame are making a combined 30M. Thats less than one JG or one Jrue. I would love to help facilitate Giannis to Boston or Cleveland…

  9. Maybe keep the pics and try to work through the free agency for a star. When those pics come up are our younger core will be at their primes of their careers

  10. Also Wes Edens, one of the members of the Bucks' "three headed" ownership group, went to Oregon State! I think he still has a house out in Bend.

  11. I don't get how can you say the Bucks picks are not less valuable / they value did not shift. Think of it this way – if the the odds were flat all the way (each lottery team has the exact same chance at each pick), the picks would be way less valuable, right? So given that the Bucks are almost certainly going to trade Giannis and suck, the flatting of the odds make the picks less valuable, significiantly

  16. To each his own but I really don't see the point of caring if a team finishes with 32 wins instead of 25. The worst teams still suck and it's not like as if they can just magically win more games by playing marginally better players. Do people really think Indy was going to be much better if they didn't tank? They'd still be ass and nobody would watch them without Hali lol.

  17. Please im begging you, no.

    We dont need an often injured big man… we were the most iniured team last year, and the solution is to trade for a dude with 13 years in the league and now injury prone?

  25. If we can get something good fine but we do not need to do anything for the Bucks. Whoever gets Giannis also gets his two brothers lol sorry but no to any of that. If it includes Grants salary thats a win and or a pick.

  28. Mike are we really doing this again!!!! I love you man your show is awesome!!! But we aren’t weird for thinking the lottery could be rigged. There are lots of examples of large billion dollar industries experiencing corruption everywhere.

  29. Only way I’m facilitating GA to another team is if it’s Boston and it involves us getting JB. If not that I’m not facilitating him anywhere except the rose city
