Another big trade went down with Jrue Holiday landing in Boston! He is the perfect player to counter Milwaukee’s big deal getting Damian Lillard. This is a look at the trade and what it means for this coming season. - กีฬา
Bro Bucks Vs Celtics playoffs is going to be insane 🤯 hopefully everyone is healthy 🙏
If they play everyone and everyone is healthy then that would proabaly be one of the greatest series ever
It’s gonna be crazy
Hope
@@user-ou5gq6do3u Eh sorta boring series tbh. Can already picture it. Assuming its the ECF? Bucks in 4. Celtics starting 5 might be the best in the league this year. Their bench is arguably the worst. (Easily top 3 worst benches in the league, they have NO ROTATION) so by the time they get to the ECF say they have a long series, or 2 long series. The 5 of them gonna be tired asf. Cause it's the playoffs you ain't playing just 30 a night with that bench, they gonna have to be playing upwards of 40-44 mins a game, EACH. Otherwise they aint even gonna see the Bucks the Heat will upset them... Meanwhile the Bucks are now making depth signings... Anyways, Nuggets in 4.
@@sammyhonerd677😂
What a trade! The Celtics have got defenders and shooters around Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. As long as no *major* injuries take place Bucks v Celtics will be one of the best series in the last 5 years.
Celtics are a 🔐 with porzingis to fall short for 18 again. 😢
@@Stars33d77??
I see this every damn season only one of the team fell short of the playoffs. But at least they've improved their roster so that #8 seed will not ruin both of their playoff runs.
I’m confused don’t they have the worst bench now?
How many years in a row has this happened now? Suns, Clippers, Heat, 76ers, Nets, Lakers, Warriors, Rockets Spurs etc. The amount of critical injuries on top teams has been ABSURDLY high the past 5 or so seasons and I don’t see why the same can’t happen with at least one of Bucks or Celtics. Especially when we’re talking about bloody Porzingis
Nobody talking about this season is going to be the craziest season of all time. I don’t remember any season having this kinda hype and unpredictable outcome
I feel like everyone's said this the past few years. We're living in a golden era of basketball.
and victor wembanyama
@@razzledcroaker3678that’s true. I’ve been a fan of the NBA since 1994 miller and the last few years have been insane each year.
@@razzledcroaker3678 after the golden state era everything became unpredictable
Everyone says something like that every year.
Wow Jokic, Murray and Gordon suddenly became an afterthought when it comes to big 3
Yeah, that's insane. Watch them be the 1seed while the bucks collapse in the playoffs again next year.
@@JacksonEvettswon’t if they fully healthy that’s fo sure. All they were missing was offense which they have know. Defense won’t be a problem even after they traded jrue away because all there players are good at d (except for yk who).
Thank you! They may have to win two or three more titles until they enter conversations like this.
Yeah and that’s crazy because they are champions
Championships used to get you respect. Those were the days. 😁
Holiday was brutal in the playoffs and always has been except for one year, and he is 33.
He’s been bad offensively for the bucks for the 3 seasons he was there
@@Mahmoud-bl3hpyep. Love the guy, but this is not as big as they make it. Not to mention it's only for 1 year and he wants to retire a Buck. Wouldn't surprise me if he heads there again at seasons end.
At the end of the season it will end with a bucks vs celtics showdown
@@burna2650 idk if he still want to retire a buck after the trade tho. Also I saw reports that if he was traded to a contender he’d sign an extension
@@Mahmoud-bl3hp we'll see. Him and Giannis are pretty close.
All these trades getting me so hyped for the season
you are such an amazing person for putting that bar at the bottom during the sponsorship
Made me watch the sponsor 😂 to see that
@@GeorgeousGeorgeousGeorgethe dreamer pro sports is the dude I first saw doing that sponsorship duration bar
This move is interesting because trading away a young player and picks for a 34 year old feels kind of tough with 2 young stars. It better work out
They have 2 Superstars and KP. They will be fine..
@@JacobStone-cx3mgbro again kp is injury prone and if he’s down it’s just going to be Al horford
They don't need the picks as they're a championship contender. One of the picks is for next year. Robert Williams 3 is always injured in the playoffs and Malcolm Brogdon isn't a major loss. When you look at what they gave up, it wasn't that bad.
Jrue isn't 34 though, he just turned 33 which is a difference. 2 more full seasons left before being 35. Brodgon was disgruntled because of the trade that fell through so being able to upgrade him was something you couldn't pass up on. Timelord will be missed but you have to give somethign to get something. Stevens has shown he knows how to build a roster and everyone thought they were doomed becasue of the Kemba injury and contract but look what he has aquired. Jrue is an automatic 18 pts 5 reb 7 assist with top notch defense. Celtics still have picks and some assetts to improve
Yap, Rob and Brog are way better.
As a Celtics fan I was sad to see time Lord go but what we got in return was beyond perfect!
As a Milwaukee resident we still aren’t worried 🥱
Celtics fans aren’t either. Bucks have no perimeter defense, can’t play drop coverage anymore, no one to guard Tatum Brown and Jrue besides Jae Crowder. And Jrue will handle Dame
@@EliteLilTJ 😴😂💤
@@EasyMoney007 No counter claim? Good luck👍

Hats to you Casey for uploading every time there is NBA updates.
76ers and Heat need to somehow make a move, they look to be in trouble

@alooney8299 there are no talks with the blazers they never trade dame to the heat
@@pigeonbass11that's going to take half of the team (and has to include bam) + 4-5 picks. it's basically gambling the next decade for three or fours years left of embiid's prime. factor in injuries and embiid frequently choking in the playoffs. so i doubt riley goes for this.
@alooney8299🤡
One of your best video Casey , so much insights & analogies that’s interprets these moves very well
I LOVE AM HOOPS I LOVE YOUR CONSISTENCY IT REMINDS ME OF THE 5 UPLOADS A DAY ERA SUCH GOOD TIMES ❤❤❤😢😢😢
Appreciate you for uploading twice in one day!
3:48 THE NUGGETS DAMMIT. No way Jokic+Murray+MPJ are worse than Ant+Gobert+Towns
Yup, totally agree. Casuals (sorry including Casey on this one) just see the flashy names. KD/Book/Beal is SUPER overrated, and Ant/Gobert/KAT is simply HORRIBLE
I still feel Tatum has the most pressure this year to get it done
Taylor woods still good tailor sucks under-pressure Taylor look good
Tough thing is that he’s only 25
@@EliteLilTJif he is really a Kobe fans as he said he should be happy to get all this pressure
Ciao Danilo
You mean Giannis since he's the one who's talking about leaving if the bucks don't put up a championship roster? Well he got Lillard now.
Why you say that
Rob was never the primary defender on Embiid/Giannis/Joker... it was Horford guarding with Rob used as weakside help... but now with Porzingis, Rob's role was going to be changed even more... so while it hurts, the deal does make sense
PG Holiday, SG Brown, SF Tatum, PF Horford, C Porzingis, 6 man White.
Bucks vs Celtics gonna be a matchup to watch
Nah portzingis is gonna be at pf
Rather have horford at my center than porzingis. I’d have KP as my stretch 4 to give more room for Tatum and brown in the paint.
White PG, Holiday SG, Brown SF, Tatum PF and Porzingis C I think will be the closing five
@@jakeman025wont matter with brolo and Giannis
What about there bench?
Dame said he wanted to comeback until portland finalizes a deal with miami, which of course unfair to the blazers. Cronin did good to Dame as well for sending him to a legit contender this season.
I love the response. He gave Dame a spot on a contender for a good package and freed the blazers from his games and allowed them to enter rebuild
@brendancroft5290 forreal. It's basically a win-win situation for both parties
I love am hoops videos because he explains exactly what I what to hear
great trade for the Celtics but getting rid of Robert Williams might've been severely bad
but man Bucks Vs Celtics in the East finals for real is going to be INSANE
No Philly😢??
They have another shot blocker porzingis
yes philly th-cam.com/video/bwwYoTlugto/w-d-xo.html&t
Be funny if this doesn't happen lol
Nah the heat going to the finals 😂
Keep up the great vids my guy
I think a key point is being missed Dame has Giannis Middleton and Lopez he's never had that I'm leaning towards the bucks in a match up against the Celtics
Bucks in 5. Giannis is better than Tatum and dame is better than brown and dame and Gianni’s complement each other perfectly and midelton is a great third option. Better than the Celtics third options.
@@sharky1854 The C's big 4 are also all very inconsistent in the playoffs. I wouldn't be shocked if the C's are better in the reg season, but I think the bucks will take the edge in the playoffs.
@@sharky1854 Giannis got owned by Tatum last time they meet up? Brown will likely put up just as much as Dame is, Jrue > Middleton until his injury is no longer and issue + Porzingis is younger and more elite offesnively than Lopez. Bucks aren't good enough defensively to stop us and with two all defensive guards to stop Dame they are certainly good enough to stop them.
Jrue puttin dame in solitary. No visitation.
@@TakinProfit Just like he did to Jimmy Buckets this playoffs.💀💀💀💀💀
Pretty risky to depend on only 2 bigs with Porzingis getting hurt every year and Horford up there in age and looked pretty awful in the playoffs last year.
High risk high reward what if porzingis doesn’t get hurt? Now what? There’s two sides to it
Don’t forget Holiday was terrible in the playoffs last year.
maybe they will bring back tacko
They signed the Gabriel lad who played for South Sudan during the wc, believe he's a big as well
They might end up signing Dwight Howard. You can actually get a decent big man for the veteran minimum quite easily these days.
Casey working overtime rn 😂. Thank you!
Word on the streets is he hasn’t gotten sleep in 14 hours 😂
Any time!
So excited to have Jrue Holiday on the Celtics
Yeah he will put up some numbers
@@baconeggcheesepodcast9390I don’t think he’ll put as much as last season since jaylen brown and jayson Tatum will be doing most of the shooting
As a diehard Cs fan, losing both Marcus Smart *and* Rob Williams III really, really hurts. They were both scrappy and brought heart to the team. Don't get me wrong, I love our starting 5 right now. It just stings...
Can’t imagine your pain. Really shocked they traded away the guys that helped them get to where they were. If I had a squad that got me to the playoffs two straight years I’m not gambling that away. As you can see I’m not a risk taker. Crazy season this is gonna be
Love this guys passion and energy. You can tell he lives for this shit! haha Keep goin bro 👍🏽
I always wait for your videos and since you recently released one, i keep looking for your older videos because you're actually my best basketball TH-camr
If you count Jokic, Murray and Gordon as big 3, then they're still the best.
How lol
It really stings as a Blazer fan that Dame wanted back and we had to tell him no. It just doesnt make sense for him to be on this team anymore. Scoot is the guy at point guard going forward. We're going young. Just sucks that it kinda ended like that. I'll always love Lillard. Hope he gets a ring (or two) with the Bucks
He didn't want back, he wanted to stay until the DEADLINE to be traded to Miami. That's it, he wanted the Blazers to keep him to trade to Miami at the deadline, not return to the fold.
If there weren't Eastern and Western Divisions, this could possibly be the Finals matchup.
Keep up the work man you’ve been killing it love it
As a clippers fan i can’t believe we missed on him 😒💔 Dammm
We can't win anyway. Always unhealthy 🥲
Scoot, Simons, Sharpe, Grant, Williams and Ayton. Looks solid to me. They could be a play-in team this season.
Chemistry and system will determine how good they are
Could be better than play-in depending how Scoot goes.
No way you believe what you just said lol
Scoot and anfernee getting hyped up is a product of the new trend of hyping up every even halfway decent player in the newer rookie classes 😂
@@MrBubblecakethe NBA full of casuals fans
They kinda follow the league but really understand nothing lol
The West is stacked 50% w a 43 39 regular season won't be enough in the west
Giannis and Lillard as a duo in paper are unstoppable no team can guard them giving they are healthy
They are the closest think to Kobe and Shaq we’ve seen in 25 years
They are nothing like Shaq and Kobe. Dame is not a versatile scorer like Kobe and he doesn’t play defense. That’s huge difference between Shaq and Kobe.
These uploads been 🔥

HOT TAKE I THINK CELTICS ACTIVELY GOT WORSE
Celtics overreacted with the Jrue trade because they got afraid of Dame, and their matchup against the Bucks. But in that trade they depleted their paint defense and overall inside presence as well as got rid of virtually any scoring from the bench.
They looked at the 2018 playoffs and Jrue "locking up Dame". The thing is Jrue didn't "lock him up". He was fantastic and guarded him like his life was on the line, but it was more of a team effort. AD, Rondo, and Jrue locked him up. NOT JRUE ON HIS OWN.
In 2022 they guarded Giannis amazingly because they had Grant, Al, and Timelord and they still needed to double or triple-team him in the playoffs while Giannis still averaged 34/15/7
On top of that, the only reason they were able to double and triple-team Giannis in the paint was because they could sag off on the perimeter. Jrue was struggling as a 2nd option (granted he was assigned the toughest matchup defensively making him depleted) Grayson was straight ass, could not create a shot for himself if his like was on the line, and Bucks' only ISO scorer and best shooter from beyond the arc was out.
THEY TOOK THEM TO 7 DESPITE THAT
Boston lost their best Giannis defender in Grant Williams this off-season. They lost their only true center in Timelord. They lost 6MOTY Malcolm Brogdon and DPOY Marcus Smart but got in return Jrue. After the trade, they arguably have just as good of a perimeter defense as before (definitely better with the one-on-one matchups as Jrue is better in that regard than Smart but that's beside the point), but gotten significantly worse inside this off-season.
C's defense will be very stretched against a team like the Bucks when Khris, Dame, Pat/Beasley, Brook, and Giannis are on the floor. You need at least one person to guard each one of these guys as each one can shoot (aside from Giannis). Best case scenario you sag off on Pat or Beasley and you just hope that they don't have a good shooting night. This same thing applies to a team like The Nuggets or 76ers (if they trade Harden for something significant)
When Giannis / Jokic / Embiid drive into the lane you need to either double-team them or triple-team them (depending on your defensive personnel). That strategy works just fine IF THE TEAM HAS NO SHOOTERS OR THOSE SHOOTERS STRUGGLE MAJORLY. You cannot do that with a team like The Nuggets that have Murray, MPJ, and KCP, or The Bucks with Dame, Khris, and Brook on the floor. I would even argue you can't do that with teams like the Cavs, Lakers, Kings, or Heat.
The amount of teams with good offensive centers or power forwards in the EAST ALONE is crazy. (Bucks, 76ers, Cavs, Knicks, Heat, Magic) Why would Boston bank on Al Horford and Tingus Pingus to be a dominant defensive backcourt is beyond my understanding of the game.
On top of that THEY HAVE NO FUCKING BENCH. Boston has virtually no scoring from the bench. The only guy on that roster who will not be starting and can average 10 points is Derrick White. So in case he turns into 6MOTY and starts going for 20 to make up for the loss of Brogdon, I have no idea who will be their bench scorer.
Al Horford can't reliably guard dominant bigs like Giannis / Jokic / Embiid (he's 37 for fucks sake). He needs a second guy to help him and keep him reasonably fresh for the playoffs. KP could have been that guy if he never blew up his ACL. He is big, can play center, and is a decent shot blocker (he's 7'3 it would be a miracle if he wasn't) but he is a glass cannon and overall not that good of a defender either. The only reason he is regarded as one is because he is 7'3 and shocker, it's hard to get around a guy like that in the paint. Both of these guys can get injured and miss the playoffs. Horford will be 38 by the time ECF rolls. There was only a handful of players in HISTORY to play meaningful minutes at age 38. There is no indication that KP will suddenly not be injury-prone and have a stellar season.
If they bank their chances of stopping those bigs with a glass knee tingus pingus and a center that was born when the USSR was still around and Ronald Regan was in office. Then I like the chances of everyone else.
Boston's perimeter defense will be fantastic. But they have no inside presence to reliably guard dominant bigs. Their defensive personnel diminished like crazy and their bench unit is virtually non-existent at this point without a scoring punch from there. They are relying on 37-year-old player and a notorious health avoider Tingus Pingus to be a dominant backcourt and anchor their defense in the paint. The only thing they have going for themselves right now is the amazing scoring duo in the starting lineup and great perimeter/wing defense as well as great spacing on offense IF KP IS HEALTY
I DON'T BUY THAT
This. Literally all of this. Unless they make another move, their interior is screwed. The Bucks are much more well rounded now, and it'll show
Long...and horrible take porzingis can do what williams did same health risk. Celts basically added porzingis offense losing nothing
Thats what I said. Honestly I think they made bucks a favor. Time lord was a huge piece for stopping Giannis and he isnt easy to replace. He isnt just a big body in front of Giannis, he actually plays defence. Basically, the Celtics now can guard Lillard more easily but they make it harder to guard Giannis. I see no win, no loss
Thank god someone actually noticed. I am a huge fan of both teams but getting a 34 year old jrue who did horrible in the playoffs this year and kp who is injury prone? And now they don’t have Marcus smart dpoy pg, time lord an insane defender who was a key piece on stopping Giannis, and there 6th man of the year malcom who was doing really good. Plus there bench is legit one of the worst in the league rn. There starters won’t be rested as much as the bucks starters because they have to carry a bigger load. Yes they do know have a better chance on stopping dame but not Giannis. Sorry to say it but bucks in 6😢
Still cookin sir 👍🏽
Celtics vs bucks 2024 ecf gonna be a movie 🔥🔥🔥
Great video Bruz I love that your a GM CRONIN FAN...comment of the day !
The Nuggets' Jokic, Murray, and either Gordon or MPJ easily deserves top 5 big three. I get it that you're trying to go with a definitive top three guys, but if they aren't elite enough to top the three best on other teams, you can't really call them "big three".
Jokic, Murray, AG. I love me some Jrue Holiday, but its hard for me to put him in that category
edit: Jrue's good/popular enough to get a sig shoe tho imo
I love this trade adds depth and sets the blazers for life and the Celtics become stronger with this trade.
Don't forget Jrue can guard bigs too. He is very strong and has held his own against bigs before
2. Videos from am in one day = good day
all this just for jokic to go back to back 😭
Just Few poeple talking about them. They all sleeping on the Joker !! 😂😅
I'm not so sure. Huge jokic fan (wearing his jersey rn as I type this) but they lost pieces and didn't replace them. I'm thinking they're a second round exit next year, make some moves in the off-season, then right back with a chip in 2025
Bruh stop lying to yourself. Denver won because of injuries to these 2 teams they was the best in the NBA not Denver
Don’t think he’ll go back to back cus they didn’t go against the bucks or Celtics. They gotta get past them to actually get another ring but still the joker still has a good chance.

The one aspect fans and even analysts are forgetting is an important piece of the puzzle. Of all the contending teams in the NBA, Tatum and Brown are the only stars still ascending. Every year they've been in the league they've gotten better, and are just about to enter their primes now. No other stars are still raising their scoring, rebounding, and assists yearly for contending teams like them. If they both make another leap with this team, it'll be banner number 18, 19, and 20! Remember this take!
Man, lots of videos this week! Casey’s been a busy man
Yes his second video today he's in his grind rn
I know!!
As a Heat fan, this is scary 😭😭😭
Why you say that
I had no idea that Dame came back with the "I take it back" move. Not a clue. As a Blazers fan... I am only hearing about this right now. That's adorable he pulled the child's move and got told "no takebacksies!" Freaking hilarious. Dude remade his bed so many times all while demanding he wouldn't budge and redo it again this offseason, only to go to the apex of immaturity and be like, "so uhh... listen, about that trade thing... can we just pretend that and everthing else never happened? Lemme stay, pretty pwese?" Honestly, good f**king riddance, Dame.
Also "Senior Citizen Al Horford" was hilarious and wild! Having remembered him getting drafted, it really doesn't seem like that long ago. CRAZY!
The Portland Trail Blazers owner has balls of steel and I respect that man for standing on his principles and telling Damian Lillard hey look we don't care how beloved u are u wanna be somewhere where you're loved we loved u an u didn't appreciate us u demanded a trade see u later buddy!
This Portpand trail blazers has a bright future brighter than they've had over the last decade with Lillard

“…All they have is senior citizen Al Haford”😂😂😂
I think during the NBA bubble, Dame did an interview and was asked who he thought the toughest defender in the NBA was. He answered Jrue Holiday. Should be some great games this year. As a Celtics fan, I've wanted Jrue Holiday for a few years because I felt that his well-rounded approach to the game is a perfect fit next to Tatum and Brown. He can score when he needs to, he can make the game easier for them by initiating. He can play elite defense against the opposing ball handler...basically he's a guy that can do everything needed to take pressure off the Jays. If Tatum also takes a step forward as a playmaker, the Boston offense should be great this year. Defense may be problematic against a traditional big man, but I think Boston has enough perimeter firepower and athleticism to run most traditional bigs off the floor.
There's literally no future for Dame in Portland and I'm sure Cronin realized it would be a big waste of both of their time. Cronin is a real one for not letting Dame get comfortable and giving him a better team
What about Zion (when healthy), Brandon, CJ for big 3?
Yeah they not a big 3
Wasnt Williams the reason Giannis was having difficulty in the paint? Who will be guarding Giannis now?
Al 😂😂😂
@@theteleisewilliamsexperience Al is getting older and older. No way he is playing enough minutes to stop Giannis.

Ya grant williams rob Williams didn't really slow him.
Dame F-ed around and found out. Telling him you run your mouth we don't want you back in our locker room took guts and I'm so glad a GM stood up to one of these star players.
Poor dame has to play with giannis 😩
It was a case where everyone won except the Heat.
Oh okay, I remember so well what you've said during last year's playoffs that the Miami vs Bucks series is the easiest to predict. Counting out the Heat again. We'll see.
If AM is doing 2 vids in one day, it has to be vital
frl
The Celtics have a big 3? Nah, that's a big 4. I think Porzingis had an 'All-Star' - level season last season. I do understand that his health is a major priority to make this work.
Other than that what else they got? Who's gonna hold it down for them when they resting up?.........
@@sammyhonerd677 I think you gotta look into their bench. They're actually pretty solid if you ask me. You got Pritchard, but I don't expect him to play but he's somewhat solid. I would say thay Derrick White is their sixth-man who just made an All-Defense team. I wouldn't count Oshae Brissett and Lamar Stevens out because looking at their stats it shows they might be low-tier, but if you see some games and highlights, it shows They're tough bodies who can score in the paint and hopefully can hit the outside 3. I guess their weakest link is Luke Kornet, but maybe the Celtics can find another Center they trust if they can sign someone in the halfway mark in the season or now.
@@hilucas565 They're 16 million over the cap with just the guys they have on their roster now. What assets are they gonna move to bring in a backup, and what impact will he have on their cap? Smart people realize Boston is locked in with this roster. They cannot make any moves for depth.
@@sammyhonerd677 ... They're in a great direction right now for a championship. Also, I just saw that they're gonna give Wenyan Gabriel a training camp spot, and hopefully maybe get him on the roster. Gabriel did solid for the Lakers as a backup. And why so concerned and saying this a bad spot for the Celtics? They are locking in for a championship window for a couple of years. That's what it takes to win a championship. A great look at the starting 5, and a solid bench with guys on minimum deals. Sure, they're 16 million over the cap, but who cares, this is a solid team. Their competition in the East so far, that I can see, is the Milwaukee Bucks. Oh, and I'm a Bulls fan (NBA fan overall), but I'm happy for the Celtics and where they are now.

I love it how the champs are not in the conversation, that is exactly what they need, being put to the side like last year ;)
The blazers are winning in this offseason getting so much from dame. Excited to see what happens to the blazers.
Bruh stop it those picks are dam there 2nd rounders because those teams are so good only thing Portland really got back was DeAndre Ayton they gonna deal Brogdon and Robert Williams for more picks but they won't be no more 1st rounders for them
Dame only wanted to stay in Portland to give them time to make a deal, not to stay.
3:45 Everyone's a "Big 3" now?? LMFAO
This is very excited to watch let's see if damn will not be a champion he is a very good defender what ba freak this is the missing piece to be a champion if Boston good luck 🤞 Cel ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
now the heat really dont got a chance 😭
Literally
Bro they gave them 3% chances last year and they made the finals. Never count out heat
@@whitewalker3292heat losing in the first round if they make 8th seed
Ummm they got worse this year. They have even less of a chance now lol
@@atmosfear3056 they played the entire playoffs without herro, like I said never counted them out
As a celtics fan I kind of feel bad for Embid cause he literally shows up on a consistent basis always puts up big #s putting in work usually shows up in the playoffs He's just always in a bad situation with some disgruntled teammates that make his life a living hell!
I remember when they had Ben Simmons and Him they were thinking hey we set for the future we just need 1 more star then they get another star and it's like no this just doesn't work lmao
looking forward to the Portland outlook video
Celtics accepted that the core had maxed out and made some tweaks and I think they’re good tweaks and signed a 6’9 Wenyen Gabriel who could be a decent 15 minute addition I like it Boston vs Milwaukee is gonna be amazing
This could not have aged worse
No Porter, Murray, or Jokic??? The disrespect is real 😂
The disrespect to jokic, Murray and Gordon
#1 Bucks
#2 Celtics
#3 Warriors
#4 Nuggets
#5 Heat
These are my top 5 trios
And I still have Denver as the favorite because they have the best starting 5 with everyone knowing their roles and they have a potential big 3 too.
This trades are insane!!!
Damian Lillard trying to play the loyalty card when he demanded a trade and told them to take less and sacrifice their future is hilarious that's what's wrong with this generation they like to get sympathy because they're so used to their followers saying whatever they want to hear and telling them whatever makes them happy
I absolutely loved what The Portland trail blazers owner said 2 lillard You demanded a trade he gave you what you wanted and he made sure to look out for his franchise which is what he's supposed to do why would he sacrifice his face for your hand!
GSW lowkey deserve at least top 3 , they have the best cordination . We’ll have to hope for a good cordination from everybody else bc the trades and adjustments.
