This is how titles are rightfully won - Through bumps and bruises, perseverance, development, and maturity.
...and total reconstruction of the roster around Giannis and Middleton, including adding another max player in Jrue Holiday and trying to circumvent the rules last offseason to get Bogdanovic.

Giannis and Middleton… From 15-67 (the worst team in Bucks history) to NBA champs seven years later.

This is how titles are rightfully won - Through bumps and bruises, perseverance, development, and maturity.

Likewise, it would have been similarly as impressive had Phoenix won with Booker, Ayton, and Bridges all part of arguably the worst Suns team in franchise history just two short years ago….


Do you still incorrectly think the Pacers are built not bought? You mentioned Bridges, are you saying he was drafted by the Suns?

Built Ford tough?
I mean, all this BS about building and maturing home grown players and building a team internally is complete bullshit. NOBODY'S doing that these days, unless you're playing NBA2K on a video game system...

Well we all know hurricanes "built not bought" crusade is a bunch of nonsense. But I think it's funny he claims to be a Nuggets fan. Wonder when that started? My guess is it was after Jokic became an all star.

To be fair I'd put Bridges in the built category (even though not drafted by them...but trade for on draft day). CP might be another matter.

Trades are building. Signing under the radar free agents are building too.

Signing a max player or 2 is buying, IMO.

Damn my bad. You're right. Thanks for pointing that out. That's what I get for only looking at who drafted him and not his year by year numbers.

Nobody gave a damn about this thread a year ago so he wanted to get more attention and revive it.

This isn't a thread about the Bucks, or even his Pacers/Nuggets. This is a thread trying to shit on the Lakers (again) by continually claiming they were "bought"

I mean, they were, but who gives a shit? It's all part of the game.

Saying the 2020 Lakers were "bought" is like saying the sky is blue. No one needs to be reminded of that.

This thread is all about the Bucks and appreciating two individuals (Giannis and Middleton) that have been through the franchise's best and worst times and reaping the rewards for it.

Lakers have one high profile FA.

Giannis and Middleton are reaping the rewards of facing a wounded Nets team and a $30M/year PG addition.
