Brooklyn got the space to absorb Giannis contract easy, and can throw the Bucks some picks and additional cap relief, easy. He can get some good ass Mediterranean food over here too :yes:

I feel really bad for Dame though, brother can’t catch a break, I wish him a quick & full recovery.

they start playing organized basketball year round from a younger age. legs have way more repetitive mileage on them because they stay playing the same sport.

Not sure I agree. Achilles tears are typically due to age/over-extertion/ inactivity or some combination

Can’t really say players have more mileage, they’re just playing longer bc the money is too good to retire. Klay and KD tore theirs about the same age pistons Isaiah Thomas tore his way back in 1994. Kobe and Dame were older than Isaiah was.

The human body not supposed to be playing high level basketball at 35, 36. Kobe was being overexrted the few games prior to his, and dame went from inactivity to playoff intensity. Dead giveaway

Yup, I tore mine at the beginning of a soccer season after being relatively sedentary. At 34 years old.

Is there a possibility of the Bucks rebuilding with Giannis still on the team and just trade everyone else away?
Rebuilding with what assets and players though? Multiple teams control their picks going forward and they don’t have any young players on the roster they can use to help swing trade.

Horst has fukked over this roster for the foreseeable future.
