The Damian Lillard trade broke the NBA. The Miami Heat went from presumed favorites in the Eastern Conference with a trio of Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and Damian Lillard, to having the worst offseason in the entire NBA. The Boston Celtics saw the Dame trade as an opportunity to improve themselves by poaching Milwaukee’s former All-Star guard, Jrue Holiday. Finally, the Milwaukee Bucks acquired the man himself, Damian Lillard. So today, we’ll break down how Damian Lillard fits alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. Detailing everything from what it means for Giannis Antetokonumpo’s upcoming contract extension to how Dame can help the Milwaukee Bucks return to the NBA mountaintop. I’ll also address the biggest concerns with the roster following the trade, such as the questionable perimeter defense and depth.

High quality stuff as always my guy🔥🔥🔥
Everything was going great, like really, nice video, until the last minute and you labeling KP as a solid option to help neutralize Giannis and I lost my mind bc it was going so well.. not this again. Like seriously wtf is happening with KP, it's another Porzingis different from the one who was defending Giannis while he was scoring his carreer high just seven months ago or is him another one, a twin brother or something? All Boston hopes to slow down Giannis should rely on 95yo Hortford and his ability to look like a 30yo sometimes. And maybe Brown or Tatum? Jrue "a la" Smart? Not so sure. The players who had more success slowing down Giannis from Boston the last few seasons were Hortford, Grant W, Timelord and Smart. Porzingis… he could magically learn how to defend a la Brook style from nowhere and be a capable defender I guess, nothing is impossible, but realistically speaking there's a lot more chances of being succesful on the task of slowing down Giannis giving Hortford some (one more) fountain-of-youth energy drink imo.
It's somehow funny, Jrue is the Dame stopper bc 5 years ago the Pelicans were totally allowed to doble and triple-team him (and CJ was putting great numbers in part thanks to that), five years ago, but no one cares about Giannis putting 55 points on KPs ass last january. Everywhere I look there it is, KP is a fearsome rim protector, KP can help to stop Giannis, how? when? based on what? on he being very tall? he wasn't that tall 7 months ago? I just don't get it. I'm not a great analyst, not even an average one, but I don't get this thing about KP being a Giannis stopper or at least a capable one lately on literally every yt video o podcast I check. I admit I barely watched 2 or 3 Wizards games last year, maybe that's why, but I watched them against the Bucks and… it just looks like we were only Bucks fans watching those bc… wait… that would make some sense 😅
2:25 wtf 😂 what was thrown at jrue
🔥Video!! Bucks in 6!
My only concerns with the Bucks is, how long will it take for Dame to convert to playing winning basketball. If we are being honest, Dame didn't play winning ball in Portland. How long will it take to shed those bad habits, that he has done for 13 years. Also, Giannis has to develop a post game and consistent jump shot for the moments Dame is not on the floor. The Bucks has to be a theat in multiple ways with this years path to the title.
Andre Jackson already making his team better. Playing against him in practice for sure will have you ready for the season. He will continue to get better of he keeps his head straight.
Jrue is a good defender but imo not what the bucks needed, their offense was horrible and none could create space for Giannis, I don't think jrue fits celtics either because his role will be the exact same with Derek white
Great. Video did a rebuild video this will show how us bucks will do lol
