They'll pay Dame around $20M a year for 5, instead of more than $100M over 2.

Their bad contract with dame and their new contract with Myles are different things. There was no choice of simply, "hey, let's get Myles Turner. We'll gladly pay $57 a year for him".

Right, they're two different things, but without the first thing (waiving and stretching Dame) there is no getting Myles Turner (and paying him what they are).

There are three justices on the Wisconsin Supreme Court with MU degrees, let's get it done!

Yeah who are we to limit the opportunities of people to get paid for their services?  Just time it right so that the NCAA can rule it all illegal/players ineligible after we've won the games we need to (BET and as many NCAAT games as we can get in before a court date).

Quote from: swoopem on February 12, 2026, 09:59:35 AMI saw him in 2018 or 2019 at Pine Knob outside Detroit. I'm pretty sure it was labeled his final tour (aren't they all) and he was really good. I'm glad he's getting back out there and doing more shows

Supposedly he had some pretty significant hearing loss that made it difficult for him to perform live, but they've figured out some fixes that have made him comfortable doing it. Who knows...like you said, a lot of artists have had multiple final tours. It's a pretty robust tour for someone his age -- with nearly 60 dates last year and another 40+ this year.

Quote from: JWags85 on February 12, 2026, 10:54:25 AMThe Bucks stink and are a cluster tight now, but this is absolutely insane hyperbole and not even close to true.  They aren't even the worst run organization in the NBA.

I mean, they're paying Dame $23MM/year for the next 5 years just so they can pay Turner $24MM/year for the next 4 years.  So essentially they're paying $57MM/year to have Myles Turner on their roster.  I like Turner, the fit with Giannis is great, but you pay that kind of money to have Steph Curry next to Giannis, not Myles Turner.

They fired Bud, hired Adrian Griffin, fired him when they were 30-13, after having traded Jrue for Dame at the last minute, and hired Doc Rivers, who is 90-92 with the Bucks.

Horst's entire list of players he has drafted is Donte Divencenzo (who he traded for the ghost of Serge Ibaka), Jordan Nwora, MarJon Beauchamp, Chris Livingston, AJ Johnson, Tyler Smith, and Bogoljub Markovic.

They aren't the worst team in all of sports, but everything they've done starting with firing Bud has been absolute desperation move after absolute desperation move.  And the only reason they're not the worst team in all of sports is because they hit the absolute lottery in Giannis.  They control two of their future first round picks and have a single second round pick only if it falls between 56-60 this year (aka they have no seconds).

Oh, and their owners change controlling ownership every three years (or at least used to before we brought in...Jimmy Haslam to save us!).

"Huggy Bear" is mentioned in the docs, but I doubt it's Huggins.
