    That is amazing to me. Of course, are we talking Edwards and Giannis?? It would be difficult to trade either one of those two for anyone. AD has a much more serious injury history.

    We at least have to get to the Conference Finals, before the Pimple stuff has any weight. JJ has a lot more talent to work with, going out again, in the 1st rd,(barring major Injury) is a firable offense

    Seeing PRIME Luka this year I would think both GMs are maybe wondering if they made the right decision. Or not. But especially the Bucks considering difference in ages between Luka and Giannis. And T-pups for right here … right now. Luka’s the better player.

    Does Luka stay in Milwaukee or Minnesota? Maybe they both thought about that.

    Memphis and GSW were not exactly powerhouses . Lakers won strictly on match up and Davis was actually healthy .
    Last playoffs even combination of Phil Jackson and Kerr wouldn't win without any bigs

    We beat who we faced period, in the playoffs that's not some automatic assumption. Phil had the top two, one on one scorers, in the history of the game. I imagine that he might have gotten more out of Luka. We had a big, he might have used him differently.

    We'll never know, again I'm loving this start, but going out again in the 1st rd, is a fireable offense.

    The first one is evident against this squad.

    Hopefully JJ achieves more than the 2nd.
