For the Bucks, yes. Makes more sense for the Blazers and Suns, I think.

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.

From what I understand, Holiday is on an expiring contract and it may be almost as expensive to keep him. He and Dame are the same age as well.

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.

I think it’s a slam dunk for the bucks. They need offense and dame is basically a one man army. Plus dame giannis p&r is probably going to be on par with jokić/murray. Vegas seems to agree with me btw giving bucks the best chance at winning the title. Phoenix I don’t understand however: sure they want to get away from ayton but nukrić is a negative value on that contract.

So, Lonzo Ball had a cartilage transplant? WoW.
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.

the new owner seems to be willing to spend any amount of money to bring Phoenix its first championship. From that mindset, there are no bad contracts.

After all the moves, the Celtics essentially upgraded from Smart to Holiday while swapping Williams for Porzingis.

brutal.

I discovered Nike's Kyrie Infinity shoe is amazing. 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.

NBA champ Fred VanVleet. And now the Rockets are above .500. Man I wish they could win a road game.

But who cares about that. Josh Giddy from down under!
