Aside from the Hawks' dynasty that won those 3 Cups and blip for the Cubs...welcome to Chicago sports for the last while...

And yah, Bucks and Nuggets are the few contenders I actually don't mind seeing succeed because they don't try to sign everyone under the freaking sun.

Technically the Heat traded for 2 of their Big 3 and drafted Wade. What's the difference since Milwaukee traded for Dame to make their super team? I'm sure your response will be because you hate LeBron and that I can't argue that

That trio initiated this entire trainwreck that is the NBA these days. In some ways, they created James Harden who is now trying to pout his way off yet another 32414th team.
Wemby ran into some foul problems but really turned it up in the 4th before Luka took over the game for the Mavs. I am sorta banking my dynasty league team's future success on Wemby...I dropped all my keepers (Dame, KAT, and George) to be able to pick in the first round to get the kid.
Got Booker in the 2nd round so, he's a decent consolation prize for Dame as I find them similar. Took a gamble with Mikal Bridges with my 3rd pick.

It's officially Dametime in Milwaukee. 39pts in his debut (franchise record) and clutch FTs to secure the win. Either way the game should not have been that close. We gave up a 19 pt lead. Dame was 16/16 on FTs while the rest of the team was like 8/20.
LET'S GO!

With the Clips, it's not obvious with Kawhi, George, and now, Beardo. It's sorta convoluted to me. I dunno, some super teams make sense...some, not at all except that these egos want to be in a room together and attempt to sleepwalk to a Title (see LeBron).
Milwaukee looks like it will work with Dame and Giannis. Bulls, Clippers and LeLakers are sorta the counterpoint -- it's not fantasy basketball. Though, after writing that, I am not sure Chicago counts as their stars are not quite the tier as LeBron et al.

The part that perplexes me is the draft capital these teams are giving away like water.
The Clippers are now without a pick until the world ends? Same as the LeLakers.

Lakers contacted NBA about LeBron James’ lack of free throws on Monday
shit like this is why I've developed a hatred for LeBron and the Lakers (and again... I'm a SoCal native, now living in Vancouver)
mind you, last year, LBJ averaged 5.9 free throw attempts (per game), so far... after only 7 games, he's at 5.7 Good lord, man the fuck up and just play, he's big guy... why be such a whiny lil' bitch??
Back in the Michael Jordan days, they just played and they played rough, none of this whiny "Oh woe, is me, they ain't calling in my favor" crap

I think the Clippers have lost every game since James Harden started playing for them 🤦

So, if LaVine gets traded, for me, it's anyone but those 4 teams. Please.
