A little Marquette on Marquette violence...

Looks like DJO was reiterating Jimmy's request for help, calling out Spo+Riley. Not calling out Jimmy.

Jimmy would make a great Middleton to someone's Giannis.  Heat need a Giannis

Because they are a dime a dozen.

And that's why some are bridesmaids

It will be interesting to see how the Bulls respond to the Bucks move.  I'd guess they will extend Ball's contract 5 more years.

trade for Dwight Howard and play him and Drummond as twin towers?

Bring home Frank Kaminski!

Joey is tanned, rested, and ready.

Yes, it is tough for Jimmy that he didn't get Donovan Mitchell or Damian Lillard and they ended up in Cleveland and Milwaukee.

Given how badly Jimmy hates Milwaukee and disrespects Marquette, I suppose this will only increase his dislike of both.

Maybe he can win a ring with the guy the Hausers wouldn't play with

You and bias should get a room.

Let him cook. It's gotta be nice to be a Bucks fan today after a disappointing past couple of years

For stating facts?  Where's the lie?  He don't like Milwaukee and he don't like Marquette right now.

I saw an NBA title from the Milwaukee Bucks.  I'm good for life.  Anything beyond that would be gravy

Actually hilarious.

I figured they would throw the kitchen sink to get Harden.  Seems like the kind of moronic panic move this Bulls franchise would love

[MuggsyB]

Crybaby Jimmy Butler is complaining the Bucks tampered because certainly Pat Riley and the Heat wouldn't have. 

Win a ring, chump

This is ridiculous and a terrible take.  Especially coming from someone in the Heat organization. 

[cheebs09]

I'm not sure how you tamper in a trade like this.

[wadesworld]

Herro retweeting Jimmy's reaction and saying, "What he said" is hilarious.  Guy would've been out of Miami if Dame was in.

Heat players claiming there's tampering because a player demanded he be traded to the Heat is ironic...

I have to question the value of his education.  Could be why he hates Marquette so much

Not just at you, but...

You guys saw the video of Jimmy saying this? It's obvi a joke.

After spendinig years on Scoop, I agree with you and Jimmy about Marquette.

  don't forget derrick may have a little left in the tank

[MuggsyB]

If Middleton is healthy that's a pretty damn good #3 option.  The 2-man game with Giannis and Dame has the potential to be scary good.  We're talking buckets in heavy, heavy, numbers. Meanwhile Lopez and Portis can also stretch the floor.  I also expect Antetokounmpo to be highly motivated.  I assume they'll pick up another piece as well.

            helluva trade!! 

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

This is an idiotic comment by Smith.  And frankly inexcusable. 

[wadesworld]

Dame literally stated that, as did his agent, multiple times.

So, pretty obvious that Lillard wanted to play in Miami.   

That 'A' stands for 'astute', or 'aware', or even 'awake' in this instance.

That's irrelevant.
