    I think it's safe to say we won the Bucks deal

    Sometime during the March Madness, towards the end of the regular season,

    If we are not even in the playin, no reason for Dame to play even if healthy, just continue to rehab

    If we are surprisingly in playoff contention, no reason for Dame to play even if healthy, because why rock the boat at that point

    So yeah, he will likely not play in 25-26, He will be available to play in 26-27, and he can pick to stay here or go elsewhere in 27-28 due to player option

    We really only get him for one year guaranteed (26-27) By then who knows if we're the Seattle Superblazers or Trailsonics or Las Vegas Trailblazers

    Does anyone think Dame won't want to start when he comes back?

    I remember Joe once said something along the lines of you gotta take a step back in order to take a few steps forward. He pretty much kept and/or acquired all the best assets/pieces from the Dame trade and gets Dame back after 2 seasons. I love Dame. I’m fuckin pumped!!!

    He better be smart and come off the bench. Love him, but he's a bench player now and better not be a fucking idiot about it.

    According to the front page ESPN breaking news article, Dame had multiple mid level and min contracts before signing with us.

    Or we trade Scoot. I don't think Scoot has shown nearly enough to be made a core piece moving forward. This will be a big year for him.

    I mean, not sure how anyone can dislike this move. Who cares if he is hurt most the year. He loves us and we love him. Obviously he regrets leaving and realized the grass isn't always greener.

    We have one of the best offensive and defensive guards in the league to mentor scoot.
