    Wes has had a career since his tear but been trade fodder pretty much..Rodney Hood lasted a season with the Clippers and one with the Bucks before hanging em up afteer his Achilles tear... Neither Wes of Rodney are number one options or pt guards so that's a tough position to play anyway. The good thing about Dame is if he's out of the game he has made the bag already..and still is on the books for his biggest paydays.

    Hate to see Dame injured but does this make those picks look any better?

    Kobe and KD came back so I think 90% Dame can make it back.

    Bucks have to look to trade Giannis. It’s the only way for them out for them. Giannis is the only player that might net them a top pick so they can rebuild.

    The Greek guy will want out now. That makes that 2029 pick look VERY good for us.

    Dame will be 38 in 2029 so I don't think his status means anything for that pick. Probably won't be a Buck and with his injury might not be in the NBA

    Well it's been confirmed as a left Achilles tear, apparently happened after going for a rebound.

    Yeah I was kinda thinking about how his contract was gonna limit them in the coming years and where that leaves them in 2029. I think all or almost all of their picks have been traded?

    They are screwed. They will probably get 3-4 1s for the Freak though.

    Some team will be paying Dame $63 million two seasons from now. (Blue is player option.)

    Some of that is confusing with Wash involved. Are we actually getting a 1 from Mil. What are the odds on 2028 and 2029 of getting anything from them?

    Vaseline or Johnson, Castle, Barnes and this year draft pick and maybe future picks for Giannis works.

    Playing soccer with kids is not the same as playing NBA basketball. I didn’t say he was incapable of walking. Just that he has a condition that prevents him from playing NBA basketball. It’s like when people got upset at Steve Nash playing basketball when he was supposed to be out hurt. He was like “there’s a difference between playing pick up ball with kids and chasing Steph Curry around the court for 2 hours.”

    Someone could have bone cancer and still play soccer.
