*In their exit meeting dame told doc “Coach I was never in the shape that I needed to be in, I had to wait all summer because you’re scared to play when you’re about to get traded you don’t want to get injured, It was my worst off season I’ve ever had. I guarantee you next year you’re going to see me in the best shape you’ve ever seen.”*
I was clear all year, I said it a thousand times, “dame is overweight” and I kept getting downvoted into oblivion with insane shit like “No it’s just Portland jerseys are black and slimming” as if the bucks don’t have a black jersey, or patently absurd shit like “he looks fine to me.”
Yes, I’m sure to people who never watched Portland games, dame looks fine, but this sub has seen an influx of people who have meticulously watched dame play for the better part of a decade. It was very obvious.

He also said this before the season or early in the season, I forget the exact timing. He didn’t phrase it this way exactly. It was a little more along the lines of “it was a strange offseason and I took a different approach. Didn’t do the same workout and conditioning plans due to the trade request.”
The point remains that he recognizes it and is already planning to reconcile it before the start of next season. This along with Giannis and Middleton not having off-season surgeries is going to set us up from tremendous success next year.
I’m really, really looking forward to watching this core with months to prepare and focus for a season, instead of the season we just witnessed.
lol “portland jerseys are slimming” is hilarious.

Incoming 77-5 season with all 5 losses to Indiana.
I think your team is going to be scary next year, if everyone stays healthy. That whole roster is motivated.
Dame seems to be a pretty straight shooter and that’s something I respect in an athlete.
Stephen A needs to stop making those stupid takes about us trading Dame to Miami. It is getting very annoying.
