    He clearly doesn't get it.

    Let me guess....He's your favorite because Tisse is the only player who'll talk to you... And you had to stalk the dude to make an intro!!

    Here's a couple nice passes from Brodgon to Rob Willliams (aka Timelord).

    I think it was on purpose as a final jab at Cronin.

    considering that twice, Dame went over Olshey's head to ask Paul Allen what the hell was going on....

    I think Dame mentioned Olshey as a final dig at Cronin. Dissing by omission

    Will Dame still be resentful during the parade in MIL? Does he really think MIA is better than MIL with him on board?

    He does. He’s very talented but he doesn’t have that killer in him like Kobe or even Dame has

    Maybe it just kills it for him that MIL just won a title a couple years ago with that core. Where in Miami that core is fighting hard to win it since they been to the finals twice in the last 3 years without winning it. I think he wanted that credit where he pushed them over the top. Where in MIL it’ll just be another title in the last couple years..

    Agreed. In my opinion Milwaukee core has better chance than that of Miami's. Lifestyle, maybe Miami. Winning, Milwaukee.

    Maybe Dame feels insecure about his height and appreciated Olshey for never trading for anyone taller than him?

    That was the other big (or small) bugaboo of Olshey. Allergic to finding a backcourt mate for Lillard of standard shooting guard size.

    I don't see why , if Brogdon is going to play, that the team will be a losing team.
    You've got Brogdon, Simons, Grant, Ayton, and Timelord who are good veterans.
    Then Scoot and Shaedon who are young but super athletic and very good at attacking the hoop.
    That seems to be a decent 7 players who should be good if they play hard and play together.

    I think Ayton is the key for early in the season and maybe more.

    Two seasons ago and the season before that, Ayton's True Shooting percentage was actually slightly higher than Dame's career high last season.
    I would feed him every possession possible, which shouldn't be too difficult with his mobility and fantastic hands and finishing ability.
    Why not go for a goal of something around 30 points a game? Ayton might become an All Star.
    You can go far in the NBA with superstars who score a lot and score efficiently.

    The game tape of Ant in games with and without Dame showed that was evident.

    Thybulle could easily play into being traded there if he wants to. As long as he makes his 3s, Dallas is going to want him. “How much do you want Doncic to stay, Dallas?”

    I doubt that’s the goal to start all 3. It probably does mean there could be a 6 minute stretch of those 3 on the court against specific teams. Any non shooting team is going to have a long night if Ayton, Williams, and Grant are on the floor.

    That front court with Ant and Sharpe could be VERY scary. Ant is going to going to develop the Dame, Curry, Trae reputation very quickly. Shae will continue to be a threat to shoot, and Grant is a consistent 40% shooter. If DA is hitting his jumpers and Williams continues to develop his playmaking skills, how is anyone stopping this lineup?

    Not sure how a team that can’t shoot can score against that lineup.
