@@queniegica1617 he legit had his best offensive season in his career this year and had his highest field goal percentage this year as well bro even dropped 71 points. what are you on lol
I love Dame and Jimmy, was hoping to see them together. But out of all the possible options that weren't the Heat, I think Dame landed the best possible chance to win a chip. Happy for him.
Bucks will be much better on offense, but worse on defense. If Kris could play pg and better d it could be a solution. But I don't see that happening, so we'll have to wait and see...
@@ΓιώργοςΚαπάτοςYou can’t even spell Khris right. He’s not an elite defender but he’s long and a plus defender when healthy which all indications from the offseason are that he is. Sure the Bucks lose Jrue’s defense but they still have two legit DPOY candidates from last season and Crowder on the bench, they’re not all of a sudden a bad defensive team. They are all of a sudden a scary offensive team though. Dame and Giannis in the pick and roll will be a pick your poison for defenses. If they load up on either of them, the other and/or Khris will feast. Khris proved he can be a number two option on a championship team, now he’s the number 3 and won’t have much pressure from defenses. This move makes the Bucks much better overall, thinking other is foolish. I’ve been a huge fan of Jrue his whole career but this is a massive W for the Bucks. Also why would Khris playing PG be a solution? That’s Dame’s role lol.
You are right about misspelling, but let me tell you about the rest. Lillard is a better shooter/ scorer than Khris (😁) so i will prefer him to play 2 or even 3 in order to have the ability to attack more without the duty of play making and stuff. Its just a thought about how he could team up better with Giannis. I said Khris could try pg because i beileve that now he could do it better than anyone else on the team. He have the ability to pass more than others (if we take out Dame), knows Giannis for years, he can work and improve so he could manage to take this role on the team. I dont think he is the best handler or have the best footwork but he can work on it. About defence, dude Jrue is out, Damian is in. Its so simple to understand that change makes Bucks a bit worse in defence. You talking about other players like they're wasn't on the team priore. They dont change anything, because they where here from the start. What change is that Jrue is gone. Same goes about Khris and defence, nothing is different than before except Holiday. Anyway i could be wrong but we doht know that for sure if we dont see it first. Just a little reminder. Lebron make a 10 apg season and play 1 and 5, its not bad for a player to test his powers in other roles. If Lebron did at 36 (?, i dont remember actualy excactly how old he was) i think Khris could do it also, or at least try it out. Please dont go in defending mode, i wasnt accusing anyone, i just suggesting things. Ps. Sorry for mispelling. Hope Bucks work it out.
@@ΓιώργοςΚαπάτος hi, appreciate the idea, but i just dont think Khris's handing is that good to be a PG. it might work a bit during regular season, for sure not playoffs.

A bucks - nuggets finals might actually qualify as a world championship. Two giant Euros with completely different play styles. That would be amazing to watch.
40-30-71 shooting splits and clutch defense he did push them over the edge for the chip I'll give him that clutch defense. But got shredded last year on defense by jimmy butler shooting 47 percent efg.
Yeah but no one gives butler credit in the playoff he is a different animal we will see what playoff himmy does this year I heard some where not to fear the dear
Since Damian Lillard just ended up in a better situation from what he initially asked for, I have a feeling James Harden will now feel entitled for the 76ers to trade him to the Clippers.
What’s going to be incredible is Dame is one of those incredibly rare elite ball handler + elite range guards that can just absolutely change how a defense plays in a half court offense. Imagine trying to cut off Dame by funneling defenders off a screen and then you have Giannis on a back door cut? Dude is going to be an off ball monster with this new spacing. Middleton is gonna start to get Klay-esque looks too…and this team got even better at passing. If they can find a way to add another defensive stopper with Pat Con then it’s lights out
Nobody is really talking about it, but the Suns just added some much needed depth to that roster. Nurkic is a solid center. Love him or hate him, Allen is a career 40% 3P shooter, and just imagine the looks he'll get with the Suns. Nas Little is a younger SF/PF, solid defender. Keon Johnson is a 20yo rookie. On a team with basically 3 max players and vet mins...
I am sad to see Dame go, but I'm definitely relieved that he's getting paired up with his dream teammate Giannis. He'll be missed in Portland for all he has done on and off the court and his loyalty to us fans, but if I could have hand picked anywhere for him to go it would have been to the Bucks. I'll be pulling for those guys to win it all this year! Go Bucks!
@@kevinmarrero5013 Heat could still get Jrue from Portland, which would be an awesome fit, maybe even better than Dame?? Either way looking forward to a Heat Bucks matchup in the playoffs next year.
I really like dame I hope that it's the ticket for him for chip and totally agree that this is really a win-win trade for everyone involved. Trade is really a good surprise for an upcoming season can't wait 😊
What a unexpected trade it really cut me off guard I found out from my friend I was like oh shit no way you gotta be caping😂😂😂😂. And then I went on a nba source and I was like what actual hell Dame in a bucks jersey never imaged 😱.
You don't understand how many times I was in 2K and the simulation put Dame on the Bucks lol. I thought about Dame being with Giannis before this trade, I know most people didn't think it was possible but I knew Dame was a perfect fit with Giannis if they somehow acquire him. 2K was giving me signs man lol
Great trade. Some prediction because of it: 1. The heat "dynasty" is over (2 finals trips). Jimmy buckets is getting older and this will be the year he won't be MJ in the playoffs but just a bit less. With a worse roster and no clear way to upgrade or extend. Might take 2 seasons and then he will be a old man and great as a 3rd option. 2. There will be a harden deal with Jrue involved. It is the best option to get some value back for harden and a great way for the blazers to get some free future assets. 3. Dame will make his real case to be in the top 75 the next 2 or 3 seasons. That he can be a winner as well as a loyal small town player. Love he ended up in another small market and is put into a position to win. Dame winning in Miami would have felt bad.
Wym by a trade involving harden and jrue? If you're saying the blazers will trade for harden then that's a bit dumb. They're wanting to rebuild. So they'll be looking for young players. The blazers are looking to trade jrue once the trade goes through. But getting harden won't be on their priority. His value is much worse now.
@@tuhoegamerjerey I think it will be a 3 (or more) team trade. 76ers get a great defensive low maintenance 3rd option with championship experience. The team that gets harden gets a year of entertainment (bad team without already a great young player) and a way to sell tickets or get false championship hope (clippers). Blazers get some young guys that are a bet and a 1 round draft pick.
Happy for the Bucks and their fans Giannis and Dame deserve each other, great for both the Trailblazers and the Bucks because the Bucks can contend for championships and Portland can start their rebuild and focus on the future.
@@nicksandz3209what? They have Sharpe and Scoot along with two very valuable picks. They’re also probably gonna flip Jrue for another pick. How tf do they not have a future?
Bucks can win a championship in the next 2-3 years. Giannis is arguably a top 5 player 5 of HIS generation. Dame is a top 5 pg in the league. One of the most skilled and consistent Point guards ever. I believe the Milwaukee Bucks organization is great and will get the right pieces around their 2 Hall of Famers. This is exciting to see history
@@malachirobley123 bounced out of the 1st round when he played 2 out of 5 games due to injury. context matters. it's honestly for the best that it happened though because they probably would've beaten the heat and not gotten damian lillard.
Yeah was just discussing this trade idea months with my Brother turns out Dame really did got traded to the bucks Middleton can go 3rd option which is great for me given his not a reliable 2nd option
@@geelong_guy19 they were already doing that with defensive guards in the first place. Id rather get a guard that can create his own shot, Dame will create so much space for giannis to be fully utilizing his slashing ability
According to Shams, Heat offered Herro, Jovic, 3 first-rounds, multiple pick swaps and multiple 2nds. Idk about you if that's worse than what they got. Cronin's such a petty GM.
Imo, if you think of it this way - bucks traded jrue and allen for lillard AND giannis. This move is also to keep giannis happy and for him to stay with the org. Huge day and huge win for the Bucks
Major game changer! This is huge. Wow, waking up this morning and hearing about this trade. Wow! Trade of the decade. Dame and Giannis. Absolutely blockbuster. OMG! This could be the best duo since Karl Malone and Stockton.
first video I've watched of yours, love the energy and you got some great opinions and discussion topics with even a nice lil ref to jxmy, definitely gonna watch more
The Heat overplayed their hands. I'm so happy for Dame and Giannis. Even though as a Warriors fan, we might have our hands full if we want another ring :)
This is the type of deal Cronin was going for. There was a good reason why he had no interest in a package headlined by Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, and maybe a 2nd round pick. I like how they came away with Ayton, who is exactly what the team needed. A young big man who should form a nice 1-2 punch alongside Scoot.
@@Eblak He has been in Phoenix. But I think he will be less of a liability for two reasons. #1 he will get a larger role on the team as arguably the 2nd scorer and top frontcourt option and #2 the Blazers aren't really expected to do much this year, so it provides them with enough time to try to mold Ayton into the player that we've seen flashes of in Phoenix but never really saw consistently and develop chemistry with the Scoot-Simons backcourt.
As a GSW fan I'm kinda disappointed that Dame didn't get traded there but I'm happy that he joined a team worthy of competition. Any NBA team aside Blazers would have been happy to have him in their roster and Bucks is very lucky to have him. He looks very happy being somewhere he feels like himself again. We better watch out for the Giannis, Middleton, Lopez, Lillard and Holiday onslaught 🤍💚
And Giannis is going to be taking lessons from the dream himself. His game in the paint is gonna be better. So their offensive spacing is elite. But Defense is definitely needed
The Blazers could’ve done this trade with the Heat and Suns. Still got Ayton and got more 1st round picks picks and more young players. This was a trade out of spite from Cronin hands down.
And if they weren't planning on keeping herro then they could trade him for better chances of having better and more draft picks. They're planning on rebuilding after all. That's what the blazers are doing with jrue holiday I think
@@andybeardsack7898 Well, I don't fully disagree, but Grayson Allen lead the league in defensive efficiency, and as the host said, Holiday is the best defensive PG in the league, so they are taking quite a hit. Of course they still have the Greek Freak, Lopez, Portis and J. Carter, so that bunch can make up for a lot of mistakes.
Shout out to the Blazer's Front office, even when Dame somewhat backed them into a corner, they still put him in the best position to win his First Chip, and not get low balled by the Heat
Bro I love how people say low ball the bet offer was three first basically and ayton but y’all took ayton 1 pick and holiday this deal was to spite dame and the heat
call this a hot take but i would say that this would go down as one of the greatest trades in NBA history everyone wins here the blazers get a Ayton who we know they were interested in and the Suns get Jusuf Nurkic and a huge package for both teams and finally Dame will get to play with a All-Star which he hasnt done since 2015. Dame was one of my favourite players since i was 10 im 14 now going on 15 and finally one of my heroes get a legacy that suits him [huge props to Casey for breaking this down for all of us even guys like me who dont understand trade and stuff like that}
Was a Trail Blazer fan for years before we got Dame, but after how they treated him leading up to this and never got him talent in Portland... it's like they were content staying as a B level team. I'm a bigger Dame fan than a TB fan at this point. Can't wait to see what he does with the Bucks.
I am so happy that Dame is in the bucks and that Giannis is gonna stay!!!!!!!! So upset about Jrue leaving though. Giannis is my #1 favorite and Jrue and 2nd. I wish they would of traded Khris was leaving and Jrue stayed
How many of you actually believe the Bucks are WORSE after this trade?
I think they will be good only in regular season, not in playoffs
I believe they are contenders now. By trading for an All-Star mean Giannis will stay and Bucks believe in him leading the team. Giannis appeased.
Jesus loves you and may God bless you....
You copied Hoop references video… 🤡🤡
Phx got worse. Milwaukee may have a good chance to win it again. Both squads will be old and thin in two years. Blazers won the whole thing x10

Nice Dame Lillard dissertation
2 nd best Blazers of all time. Drexler is number 1 since he got them twice into the finals and lost to the Goat PG and to the Goat.
What is his playoff record?
What efficiency he only shot 40 percent from three once in his career..

I feel happy for giannis
Dame in a Bucks jersey reminds me of Ray Allen
Nuggets vs. Bucks gonna be a fire series ❤🔥
yeah this year bouta be lit
Lakers bucks
Clippers Celtics
Suns Bucks
Grizzlies
I’m happy for my bucks team, but I feel bad for Jrue holiday as he said he wanted to stay in Milwaukee his whole nba career a day before this😢
man wanted to retire soon, giannis want chips not another loss lmao
He will probably end up in Miami and try to get his revenge
Maybe
But I think they will stick with Tyler jrich and Jimmy bam and Thomas Bryant starting
For me the Bucks should have traded Khris Middleton over Jrue Holiday.
6:51 I LOVE the graphics used here and basket sound effects, you really put fine touches into your content!
A bucks - nuggets finals might actually qualify as a world championship. Two giant Euros with completely different play styles. That would be amazing to watch.
educate yourself what constitutes world champs

jrue is soooo underrated
man dropped 45+ multiple times last year whoever gets him will be lucky
He’s great in the regular season but consistently shrinks in the playoffs
Did Jrue shrunk in the playoff when the time Bucks won the championship?
40-30-71 shooting splits and clutch defense he did push them over the edge for the chip I'll give him that clutch defense. But got shredded last year on defense by jimmy butler shooting 47 percent efg.
Yeah but no one gives butler credit in the playoff he is a different animal we will see what playoff himmy does this year I heard some where not to fear the dear
I'm feeling Jrue Holiday might be in the same situation now as Chris Paul was when he went to OKC
The Bruin will be traded to another team. Perhaps the Heat.
Since Damian Lillard just ended up in a better situation from what he initially asked for, I have a feeling James Harden will now feel entitled for the 76ers to trade him to the Clippers.
Harden is useless now.. simmons, irving and harden are prima donnas . They just like the attention😂😂😂

Raptors fan here-
You killed me with optimism yesterday brother . Killed me today with a gut punch dog
What’s going to be incredible is Dame is one of those incredibly rare elite ball handler + elite range guards that can just absolutely change how a defense plays in a half court offense. Imagine trying to cut off Dame by funneling defenders off a screen and then you have Giannis on a back door cut? Dude is going to be an off ball monster with this new spacing. Middleton is gonna start to get Klay-esque looks too…and this team got even better at passing. If they can find a way to add another defensive stopper with Pat Con then it’s lights out
Nobody is really talking about it, but the Suns just added some much needed depth to that roster. Nurkic is a solid center. Love him or hate him, Allen is a career 40% 3P shooter, and just imagine the looks he'll get with the Suns. Nas Little is a younger SF/PF, solid defender. Keon Johnson is a 20yo rookie. On a team with basically 3 max players and vet mins...
What about Portland? They got Jrue and Ayton is gonna be out to prove he ain't no bust
Casey just said it though
and watanabe. a 50% 3pts shooter highly defensive player.
@@billblaski9523jrue holiday is not staying in Portland they gonna send him to a contender
Milwaukee saw your video yesterday and got scared. You did this AM hoops!!
Bucks won this trade. 2 of the most talented players in the nba are now on the same team and neither has a huge ego. They are going to be a deadly duo
I am sad to see Dame go, but I'm definitely relieved that he's getting paired up with his dream teammate Giannis. He'll be missed in Portland for all he has done on and off the court and his loyalty to us fans, but if I could have hand picked anywhere for him to go it would have been to the Bucks. I'll be pulling for those guys to win it all this year! Go Bucks!
He hand picked the heat lol and still think heat beat them in 6 cus bucks for better but worse at same time defensively brook lopez is a year older
@@kevinmarrero5013 Heat could still get Jrue from Portland, which would be an awesome fit, maybe even better than Dame?? Either way looking forward to a Heat Bucks matchup in the playoffs next year.
It will be crazy seeing Dame in a uniform other than the blazers, but much respect for Dame
I applaud your production & editing (team) on putting this up after hours of the announcement.
3 videos in a day he’s a content machine
It’s so cool of you to constantly shout out fellow creators in the space every video very big of you
Congrats to MIL for winning the Dame trade ... this is a big help for Giannis (and Bucks)...
Lol at Butler saying "You didnt hear it from me" though he said it on camera
I really like dame I hope that it's the ticket for him for chip and totally agree that this is really a win-win trade for everyone involved. Trade is really a good surprise for an upcoming season can't wait 😊
🤣🤣💀
What a unexpected trade it really cut me off guard I found out from my friend I was like oh shit no way you gotta be caping😂😂😂😂. And then I went on a nba source and I was like what actual hell Dame in a bucks jersey never imaged 😱.
This is a win for everyone except the teams that didn't get Dame, I'm so happy
😂😂😂😂. That duo will be out in the 2nd round
@@robertakizuki54401st round if they face off the heat
@@slumps3218 🤣🤣🤣🤣 your prediction is much better
Heat in 5 they lost Allen and holiday heat will say where the defense
You don't understand how many times I was in 2K and the simulation put Dame on the Bucks lol. I thought about Dame being with Giannis before this trade, I know most people didn't think it was possible but I knew Dame was a perfect fit with Giannis if they somehow acquire him. 2K was giving me signs man lol
A bittersweet farewell indeed😢
Yesterday: TORONTOS MASTER PLAN IS TO PAIR DAME WITH GIANNIS WITHIN 3 YEARS
Today: *Bucks have paired Dame with Giannis*
Wow they kept Middleton and still got dame🔥
Great trade. Some prediction because of it:
1. The heat "dynasty" is over (2 finals trips). Jimmy buckets is getting older and this will be the year he won't be MJ in the playoffs but just a bit less. With a worse roster and no clear way to upgrade or extend. Might take 2 seasons and then he will be a old man and great as a 3rd option.
2. There will be a harden deal with Jrue involved. It is the best option to get some value back for harden and a great way for the blazers to get some free future assets.
3. Dame will make his real case to be in the top 75 the next 2 or 3 seasons. That he can be a winner as well as a loyal small town player. Love he ended up in another small market and is put into a position to win. Dame winning in Miami would have felt bad.
Wym by a trade involving harden and jrue? If you're saying the blazers will trade for harden then that's a bit dumb. They're wanting to rebuild. So they'll be looking for young players. The blazers are looking to trade jrue once the trade goes through. But getting harden won't be on their priority. His value is much worse now.
@@tuhoegamerjerey I think it will be a 3 (or more) team trade.
76ers get a great defensive low maintenance 3rd option with championship experience.
The team that gets harden gets a year of entertainment (bad team without already a great young player) and a way to sell tickets or get false championship hope (clippers).
Blazers get some young guys that are a bet and a 1 round draft pick.
@@kevin_Masters this makes more sense
Giannis & Damian would be lethal! Finally let's go!
Jimmy leaked the info and said y'all didn' t hear it from me all in one sentence😂😂😂
Suns low key won this trade, fixes their depth problem instantly. This might be what puts them over Denver
Grayson Allen will make the suns self implode
Suns High Key** finessed the trade. Let them sleep though lol
Yep i agree giving up De Andre Ayton who was overpaid for 4 great role players that will improve them on D.
Damn. I feel bad for Jrue 😢
Happy for the Bucks and their fans
Giannis and Dame deserve each other, great for both the Trailblazers and the Bucks because the Bucks can contend for championships and Portland can start their rebuild and focus on the future.
Portland has no future
so is you. @@nicksandz3209
@@nicksandz3209what? They have Sharpe and Scoot along with two very valuable picks. They’re also probably gonna flip Jrue for another pick. How tf do they not have a future?

Crazy
Bucks can win a championship in the next 2-3 years. Giannis is arguably a top 5 player 5 of HIS generation. Dame is a top 5 pg in the league. One of the most skilled and consistent Point guards ever. I believe the Milwaukee Bucks organization is great and will get the right pieces around their 2 Hall of Famers. This is exciting to see history
Giannis is the number 1 player
@@theetruth8626Negative it’s Jokic Giannis got bounced in the first round how can he be the best player 😂
@@malachirobley123 bounced out of the 1st round when he played 2 out of 5 games due to injury. context matters. it's honestly for the best that it happened though because they probably would've beaten the heat and not gotten damian lillard.

I think Dame is a great compliment to Giannis .
He is but no one to play defense
@@kevinmarrero5013 Bro who exactly played defense on that championship Nuggets team man I wanna know.
I live downtown Milwaukee, and I love Milwaukee and support the Bucks, but I am liking how good the Celtics look
Yeah was just discussing this trade idea months with my Brother
turns out Dame really did got traded to the bucks
Middleton can go 3rd option which is great for me given his not a reliable 2nd option
been waiting for your video highlight of the day!
Basically we gave holiday, Allen, and infinite picks and we still need defensive guards
Beachamp gonna step up ..that's what there counting on
you got giannis and lopez down low. i think the extra scorer is infinitely more valuable to that team.
When we come up against curry, doncic, and very offensive PGs, what's dame gonna do, let em shoot, leave for a wide open layup
@@geelong_guy19 they were already doing that with defensive guards in the first place. Id rather get a guard that can create his own shot, Dame will create so much space for giannis to be fully utilizing his slashing ability
Bruh we got Andre Jackson
According to Shams, Heat offered Herro, Jovic, 3 first-rounds, multiple pick swaps and multiple 2nds. Idk about you if that's worse than what they got. Cronin's such a petty GM.
As a suns fan idk how to feel about this. Ik everyone including me hates on ayton but I still really liked him
Imo, if you think of it this way - bucks traded jrue and allen for lillard AND giannis. This move is also to keep giannis happy and for him to stay with the org.
Huge day and huge win for the Bucks
Major game changer! This is huge. Wow, waking up this morning and hearing about this trade. Wow! Trade of the decade. Dame and Giannis. Absolutely blockbuster. OMG! This could be the best duo since Karl Malone and Stockton.
kobe shaq?
Yup, or even Pippen and Jordan. You could probably throw a lot of names into a hat.@@ElCap1van
first video I've watched of yours, love the energy and you got some great opinions and discussion topics with even a nice lil ref to jxmy, definitely gonna watch more
And guess what, Dame said multiple times "I will leave if you use that draft pick".
The Heat overplayed their hands. I'm so happy for Dame and Giannis. Even though as a Warriors fan, we might have our hands full if we want another ring :)
They are top 3 title favourites if everyone stays healthy. Nuggets and Celtics are in that mix too.
And the heat are a black horse again and will probably make finals again
@@kevinmarrero5013 Don't think so they are too reliant on Jimmy Butler in the playoffs.
This is the type of deal Cronin was going for. There was a good reason why he had no interest in a package headlined by Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, and maybe a 2nd round pick.
I like how they came away with Ayton, who is exactly what the team needed. A young big man who should form a nice 1-2 punch alongside Scoot.
Ayton will be a liability.
@@Eblak He has been in Phoenix. But I think he will be less of a liability for two reasons. #1 he will get a larger role on the team as arguably the 2nd scorer and top frontcourt option and #2 the Blazers aren't really expected to do much this year, so it provides them with enough time to try to mold Ayton into the player that we've seen flashes of in Phoenix but never really saw consistently and develop chemistry with the Scoot-Simons backcourt.
The defense argument against Dame is bad cause its the bucks, they're gonna be an incredible defense no matter what
As a GSW fan I'm kinda disappointed that Dame didn't get traded there but I'm happy that he joined a team worthy of competition. Any NBA team aside Blazers would have been happy to have him in their roster and Bucks is very lucky to have him. He looks very happy being somewhere he feels like himself again. We better watch out for the Giannis, Middleton, Lopez, Lillard and Holiday onslaught 🤍💚
What an unexpected outcome. All the best to the Heats.
Um no, may the Heats franchise wallow in obscurity for what they did. Karma.
Lmfao tf outta here Heat in 6 Bucks now have no one on defense and are injury prone 😂
@@drittzz9245still hating
@@drittzz9245Milwaukee will swept Miami again badly
Cope harder heat fans, who’ll guard Giannis? Bam? Pass it out to Dame, oh Butler locked him up? Pass it to Khris
I said this when Giannis first talked about the window left in Milwaukee. Glad it finally happened
Damn this is a disaster for the east. Dame shooting 3's and Giannis working the inside. This team about to go 70-12
And Giannis is going to be taking lessons from the dream himself. His game in the paint is gonna be better. So their offensive spacing is elite. But Defense is definitely needed
I'll miss Jrue but I hope this works!
Blazers got A+++++++ on this trade.
The 🦋 effect in motion. Gotta love it
The Blazers could’ve done this trade with the Heat and Suns. Still got Ayton and got more 1st round picks picks and more young players. This was a trade out of spite from Cronin hands down.
And if they weren't planning on keeping herro then they could trade him for better chances of having better and more draft picks. They're planning on rebuilding after all. That's what the blazers are doing with jrue holiday I think
Goodbye dame, RipCity appreciates all you did for the state of Oregon. Have a great rest of your career
They're going to be a great duo.
I miss Damian Lillard❤
Bro didn’t die 💀
bro left like 10 minutes ago dude 💀
Dame and Giannis is the Kobe - Shaq duo of this generation lol.
Upgrade on offense, downgrade on defense, and that could be a problem.
The rest of the team are well enough defenders so although they take a hit I don’t think it will slow them down much
Dame could do now what steph been doing his entire career which is hide on defense, bucks have a lot of good-great defenders
@@andybeardsack7898 Well, I don't fully disagree, but Grayson Allen lead the league in defensive efficiency, and as the host said, Holiday is the best defensive PG in the league, so they are taking quite a hit. Of course they still have the Greek Freak, Lopez, Portis and J. Carter, so that bunch can make up for a lot of mistakes.
As soon as I saw the news on bleacher report, I came straight here to see if you had put a video up. Was not disappointed, great content as always
This comment won’t get 100 likes
Marjean Beauchamp has potential to be an elite lock down defender 1-3 position!
The All Star Draft video where Giannis picks Lillard over Jrue and Lebron gets suspicious. Look it up people! Hahaha
If the Nuggets stay healthy and everyone sticks to their role and can contain their egos they win again. Still these are nice trades.
Hey props to A.M. hoops for putting out this video only several hours after Woj dropped the news! 🤯
Saw it on the athletic but still waited for u to post man love the vids
Good thing for Ayton...fresh start with young Players and he could be a good fit to Scoot....Wait for it!
Shout out to the Blazer's Front office, even when Dame somewhat backed them into a corner, they still put him in the best position to win his First Chip, and not get low balled by the Heat
Bro I love how people say low ball the bet offer was three first basically and ayton but y’all took ayton 1 pick and holiday this deal was to spite dame and the heat
One way or another, you find a way to say the name Anfernee Simons every video lmao
Love these videos keep it up ❤❤
call this a hot take but i would say that this would go down as one of the greatest trades in NBA history everyone wins here the blazers get a Ayton who we know they were interested in and the Suns get Jusuf Nurkic and a huge package for both teams and finally Dame will get to play with a All-Star which he hasnt done since 2015. Dame was one of my favourite players since i was 10 im 14 now going on 15 and finally one of my heroes get a legacy that suits him [huge props to Casey for breaking this down for all of us even guys like me who dont understand trade and stuff like that}
As a Sixers fan I want Daryl Morey to raise up James Harden like he’s Simba and show him to every GM
I'll swap 2028 2nd round picks and give you the team washing machine. Deal?
Love the jxh shout out.. Just watched that vid yesterday
As a bucks fan I’m so excited
Casey, this is why I subscribe.👍🏾
Was a Trail Blazer fan for years before we got Dame, but after how they treated him leading up to this and never got him talent in Portland... it's like they were content staying as a B level team. I'm a bigger Dame fan than a TB fan at this point. Can't wait to see what he does with the Bucks.
I am so happy that Dame is in the bucks and that Giannis is gonna stay!!!!!!!! So upset about Jrue leaving though. Giannis is my #1 favorite and Jrue and 2nd. I wish they would of traded Khris was leaving and Jrue stayed
This is why I don’t believe ESPN narrative 😂
