					I'm guessing the Bucks feel they need to be more dynamic on offense and are willing to sacrifice defense for it.  | ||

I'm guessing the Bucks feel they need to be more dynamic on offense and are willing to sacrifice defense for it. I think they are just chasing being different. TBH my gut says the picks should have gone to the team eating Dame's contract.  | ||

					I agree with you about being different. Here is what I think Milwaukee's justification was. They've had instances in the playoffs where their opponent game plans against Giannis and they've struggled to score. Middleton has been injury prone the last few years and he looked like he fell off last year. Holiday is a good scorer but not the perimeter threat that Lillard is. They are hoping that Lillard is enough of a perimeter threat to open lanes for Giannis. They lose Holiday's defense but can make it up with the Giannis/Lopez pairing and their team defense in general. Holiday can realistically only guard opposing pgs. He's too small to guard elite wing scorers anyway. The Bucks are getting almost as top heavy and thin as Golden State with only 1 ring to show for it. They've lost twice in the first round to the Heat.  | ||

					https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/38554828/lonzo-ball-says-definitely-play-again-knee-surgeries Merely sewing the cartilage back together takes over a year to get back. 2 years of recovery time required for a transplant. We should verify this with medical experts like Stephen A. Smith and Tony Parker. They might know how to get Ball back by November because they've had worse injuries. And, they just know.

From that mindset, there are no bad contracts.  | ||

After experiencing how great they are I bought 6 pairs of them from Dick's SPorting Goods for super cheap. Nike is not making them any longer. Even at MSRP , $ for $ the Kyrie Infinity is the best basketball shoe I've ever owned. Kinda weird if he didn't get cancelled by Nike and I didn't get them for super cheap I never would've tried them. I still have 3 pairs left. I hope Nike keeps making this shoe and just gives it a different name. It is hilarious that Kyrie tried to distance himself from the shoe design.  | ||

Infinity is a great name for a Kyrie shoe, as it approximates his ability to say stupid shit.  | ||
