Lillard out indefinitely with blood clot situation

Stop smoking pot.

 

It seems like the Bucks went from a perfectly assembled team (to complement Giannis’s strengths and weaknesses) a few years ago to what’s now a random collection of ill-fitting parts. They should have kept Jrue Holiday.

 

Blood clots can come from long flights right? Obviously there are a lot of athletes zipping around so seems like it'd be more prevalent, but I wonder if there's something else going on that they're taking that's increasing the risk of this.

 

Hakeem had this one year.

I guess KPJ is gonna get some run.

Hide the soup and hide your daughters!!

 

Stop drinking alcohol.

 

Could be pot or covid vaccines? There was documented evidence that the covid vaccines may increase the chance of blood clots, especially in younger males......

 

Hopefully not.

 

If I'm Netflix, I am presenting Lillard with a Documentary called "Most Overrated Star"

 

It's called vaccines folks. Blood clots, myocarditis, cancer, etc have all skyrocketed since people took them.

 

Literally, who is left. Star players "resting" or sitting out even with reported investigation. The NBA has more than a problem. It's an epic health crisis.

I think it emphasizes how much luck goes into winning a championship unless a team is truly generational. We've got more parity in the league right now than at any point since the 1970s. All it takes for a "window" to close is one bad injury.

Milwaukee won the title in 2021, lost a toss-up game 7 to Boston in 2022, Giannis got hurt before the playoffs in 2023, and they retooled in 2024 with Dame who got blood clots in 2025. Boom, window "closed".

I think Giannis would be stupid to leave Milwaukee considering how punitive the new salary apron rules are. He, more than anyone, should know that success isn't guaranteed and he's also getting older than most people realize. His next contract is likely his last max and I, personally, don't see his game aging well at all. Guys who rely on freak athleticism don't age well once they've got a few injuries under their belt. Dwight Howard was a prime example of this.

 

Giannis is a much better target than Booker.

Just sayin'.

Can you imagine the defense when Giannis, Amen and Tari are all on the floor together? lol.

 

Sengun and Giannis would be a terrible fit. So he would be the core guy going back in the trade.

 

Double big works so Sengun and Giannis can also work.
