That's irrelevant.

Dame and his agent both saying he preferred to be traded to Miami is irrelevant to whether Stephen A is an idiot because he said Dame preferred to be traded to Miami? What?

[tower912]

Welcome to Muggsy logic. 

[Uncle Rico]

That's irrelevant.

The Bucks drafted Oliver Purnell in the 6th round of the 1975 draft

Welcome to Muggsy logic.

Everyone knew he wanted to go to Miami.  Who gives a S?  That's like saying I'd rather marry Margot Robbie.

No it’s not.  Cause you’d never have a chance at Margot Robbie whereas Dame is an in demand superstar with only 29 possible destinations.

And how is it “inexcusable” to report a fact that is verified by multiple quotes from people associated with him?  It’s not some slight to the Bucks

It's inexcusable after the fact.  Ever person who follows NBA basketball knew this so his "point" is completely irrelevant and means nothing. 

[MuggsyB]

I think it is a bit of a slight actually. 

[MuggsyB]

Who else can the Bucks snag to fill out their roster?  Cameron Payne?

[tower912]

It probably is.   And?

[Hards Alumni]

            helluva trade!! 

  stephen a. says dame would've preferred miami??  now i know what the "a" in stephen a stands for

A in this case stands for accurate.  Given that you prefer to spend your winters in AZ, you can't blame Dame for hoping for a Miami winter instead of a Milwaukee one.

You do realize that the city of Milwaukee has been basically running on spite since 1846, right?

All Midwest cities run on spite.  It’s just who you’re spiteful at that differs.

The only exception is the Twin Cities.  They believe they’re the Paris of the Midwest and god bless them for that

I don't mind spite.

Reading the Athletic story on this, it looks like Portland only really wanted Jimmy or Bam and a bunch of draft picks - and Miami was unwilling to give up either.  (Not giving up Bam for Dame seems odd to me, but who knows.)

Anyway, Giannis was recruiting Dame. He knew he was coming to Milwaukee and approved ahead of time.

Now the question is if Giannis will sign the extension.

Tyler Herro stans unite

[MuggsyB]

Where will Holiday wind up? 

[MU82]

helluva player, oona?

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Where will Holiday wind up? 

Ironically, I think it might be Miami.

[Uncle Rico]

Where will Holiday wind up?

Good question.  Philly or Toronto is my guess

[MU82]

Where will Holiday wind up?

If he wants to win another championship, Charlotte.

Obviously.

[Uncle Rico]

Maybe, but got the sense Portland isn’t too interested in what Miami has to offer.

My favorite tin foil hat theories are Gianni’s’ press tour of potentially leaving Milwaukee was a way to increase the value of Bucks future first round picks. Also, Dame saying only Miami was a way to reduce his price for the Bucks by limiting bidders.

What else would #34 want from ownership? Maybe jettison his brother to add a contributing player to the roster, hey?

[MU82]

trade hiz azz. never been any good, and never will be.

Who is a better GM?  Giannis or Rodgers?
