Why wouldn’t they? They need depth and young legs.

Please reply with a non trash trade for Lillard the bucks can get

They’re not trading Lillard.

I guess just like your username

Lillard will finish his career with the Bucks with
"Zero Rings"

Don't worry AD and Lebron won't be winning anymore either

Okey...but why would they do it for the Lakers offer?
If anything, they have him on contract until 2027.
They have all the leverage in the world.
They can demand a younger star player, a couple of decent fillers for depth plus 2-3 first round picks.

I don't see any of the above in your offer.

Shhh, now you are a Lakers hater that can see the positive side of adding the AMAZING GABE VINCENT and the world beater of RUI HACHIMURA

Bucks would not be interested in that trade. /thread

The Bucks would want a significantly higher price for Dame than what any team is going to offer. No one's trying to pay him $170 million over the next three years. Milwaukee is getting to the point where they're wasting Giannis's prime and I don't know what they can do about it. Middleton is on a reasonable deal and will have some interest, but don't think Milwaukee can get enough for him to contend.

Lakers problem is the have Lebron and AD. Both good players, but not top tier. Outside of that they have several NBA level rotational level players, but no Allstar caliber players.

The Bucks gave up Holiday (Allstar) for Lillard. Suns jumped in a helped facilitate sending Ayton to Blazers. Ayton atleast has "potential" Allstar talent. LAkers don't have anyone on the level of Holiday and no one with the potential of Ayton.

To be fair Giannis has been hurt consistently over the last four years. He's hurting his own prime.

It won't happen and I'm sad because the Schadenfruede buffet would be even more delicious than this year's Bucks.

Bro you're playing NBA 2K with some of these trade ideas. That's a garbage package for Milwaukee to give up Dame. They probably want to see what happens with him and Giannis healthy.

Watch out, WentzerWuver will show up and say you make love to Lillard if you think that's not good value.

Bucks would be up vs the Pacers right now if they had those players right now vs Lillard all by himself & now especially injured.

If you deny that we can agree you're just lying

Yeah right, nobody wants your garbage for a star player. In the NBA quality is better than quantity.

Another old player on the Lakers team? And another expensive one at that!

Man, the Lakers are gonna end up in a big hole once they all retire. Not many assets left and tied up financially.
Back to sucking, rebuilding like pre LeBron Lakers years.

Plenty of teams, the real question is why the Bucks would take that stupid offer.

I’m talking about Lakers, who do they even have to offer for Dame?

Celts17Pride · Post #94 » by **Celts17Pride** » Tue Apr 30, 2024 7:42 pm

Not sure the trade is even legal anyways. Both teams are 2nd apron teams which I believe means they can't combine players in a trade.

Because the Bucks are big fans of aging superstars. After this great trade they will trade Giannis to GSW for CP3, Kuminga, Looney and a pick. Milwaukee establishes itself as the patron saint of GSW and LAL.

These Dame offers are about as realistic as Jessica Biel stalking me.

You're telling me there's a chance lol

Dame needs to be in a team that lets him cook
That's why I made the thread because I believe it would benefit him the most career wise

Yeah man, Lakers are definitely signing Bron and KD for peanuts and trading Lillard for hopes and good wishes. Believe it!

In case it wasn't clear, it was sarcasm

He could become their Jamal Murray and help score in the playoffs & clutch situations

They obviously become better than this season and can keep Lillard & AD together when LeBron retires

LeBron Quote: "Give me Damian Lillard, I'll show you how appreciated he'll be"

2024 #17 pick

The bucks make that deal ASAP

Love Dame

But hell no to the Lakers
