    Damian did not like being in Milwaukee. I think he was even depressed about it at some point. Then when **** was going south early in the season last year, Dame started getting some of the blame. I'm sure he is happy to get the hell out of Milwaukee.

    If this helps the Bucks keep Giannis (because it allowed them to sign Myles Turner), it was well worth it. The Bucks will slide into oblivion when Giannis stops playing there. If this delays the inevitable by 2 to 5 years, it's all good.

    He's probably going to Miami, his preferred destination before he was traded to Milwaukee.

    This.

    On one hand it would make sense for the Bucks to gut their team for assets and rebuild.

    On the other hand - how many real star players have the Bucks developed and drafted?

    Kareem and Giannis.... hell they traded away the picks for Dirk, Alex English, Stephon Marbury and Dr. J.

    I think the Bucks have to keep Giannis as he wants to be there.

    Adding Myles Turner is a really good first step.

    Dame at full strength is about 1/4 of the defender FVV is. Absolutely NOT an Ime kind of player.

    You can add something about Dame's rap career in there, too.

    Apologies to the Traylor family and friends. I did not know he passed away awhile back. RIP

    How could you forget two-time DPOY and 5-time All-Star Sidney Moncrief?

    Great player! Was he a franchise player? I debated that point and decided he was close, but more of a secondary star.
