Who is it gonna be, Khris? Connaughton?

 

Idk it seems like a pretty reasonable take of "team loses good defender, will they be as good on defense?" Probably not. Dame's not really a lockdown dude. Will the offense be better by more than an offsetting amount? yeah, probably. Just weird to pretend "they may miss his defense now and then" is braindead lol

 

I'll play devil's advocate and say this is a valid concern. Yes, Lillard scores more points than Holiday, but he's also much worse defensively. Any team with Lillard that wins will do so in part because they've covered his shortcomings on that end. I don't think Milwaukee will be bad defensively, just worse than they were with Jrue and Jevon Carter.

 

No I agree

the brain dead take is saying who will stop Jimmy butler and then say Jrue Holiday will do it lol

 

Okay that part is fair lol

 

Giannis you can obviously put on Jimmy and call it a day. It's the Stephs of the world that are more concerning.

 

Imagine tampering for Drew Eubanks

 

Ha, yes. Definitely fair.

They should be stripped of multiple picks for this. And forced to only sell Eubanks jerseys in the team shop.

 

Good. Captains shit was corny

 

Thank god

 

East will massacre the west btw

 

Why do people act like Morey is a good GM? Lol

 

Just think - Harden could've opted out and signed with the Clippers outright and avoided all this. Yes, he would've taken less money, but he's already banked nine digits worth of earnings and a pay cut shouldn't matter if all he cares about is winning.

 

It’s so great they’re going to have to use this photo of Jimmy all season long lol

 

Let Maxey cook.
Hope Harden stays home until he's moved.

 

Clippers don’t want to move a 27 year old back up who averages 8ppg - they know Jim is washed
