Jesus. And they might lose picks 😂 at least they got the Brewers
The wildest part of the Myles Turner saga in Milwaukee isn’t the jarring drop-off in production. That almost felt inevitable.
And it’s not even the $83M he’s still owed.
It’s the fact that the Bucks executed the largest waive-and-stretch in NBA history — $113M — to make the Turner signing possible, and Damian Lillard is still a really, really good basketball player.
We’re just entering year two of Milwaukee’s five-year stretch of Dame’s contract, and he’s back in Portland averaging 20 PPG in under 30 minutes a night for a Blazers team that’s won 7 of its first 10 games.
Meanwhile, Turner is averaging 6.7 PPG on 32.9% shooting, while Milwaukee continues to carry a $22.5M annual cap hit for a player producing elsewhere.
The Bucks are effectively carrying nearly $50M against the cap this season between Turner and a player who isn’t even on their roster.
And perhaps the most damning part? The writing was already on the wall regarding Giannis’ future in Milwaukee before they ever signed Turner.
Given that context, this has to be one of the biggest front-office fumbles in recent NBA history.
Not sure it reaches Nico Harrison gifting Luka to the Lakers territory, but it deserves to be in the conversation.

Nice one Rich Paul
The Bucks are facing a potential “catastrophe” in the Gary Trent Jr. investigation, per @WindhorstESPN
"Everybody in the league expects a guilty finding… If they are found guilty, there are going to be draft picks stripped and people suspended indefinitely."

Robert Glasper’s “Black Radio” series is not appreciated enough.
Just a beautiful blend of jazz,hip-hop, neo-soul and rnb all in perfect collaboration and conversation. Not to mention the calibre of black musical geniuses featured? This series is unreal man.
I remember this kid at my school bought this cd for me for my birthday 😂 this song, New York and Caught Up all slappers

Imagine being 1-9 and your teammate is talking about Saddams body guards.
Saddam Hussein kept Christians as his personal staff the people feeding, clothing and bathing. If you ask why? Saddam believed their religious views made them less likely to kill themselves trying to kill him. He was talking about the people with direct access to Saddam’s food and body, not his military commanders.
I’d never heard that account before but this is very telling
Not the anus brah 🤦♂️
P Diddy asked a male escort if he was gay. The escort had been f*cking Cassie for him for six years. Diddy was paying for it, watching from a corner covered in baby oil, and collecting the man’s sp*rm in wine glasses afterwards. Their longest session lasted four days. The escort left with bruises and tears on his d*ck. And in the middle of all that, Diddy looks at him and goes, “Yo, are you gay anyway?”
His name is Clayton Howard. Cassie found him through an agency two months after he got out of prison. Diddy watched every session, paid Clayton’s mortgage for months after each visit, and once ran a train on Cassie together with Clayton and another escort for two days straight.
Clayton lost it. Told Diddy he’s been smashing his girl for years and never once looked at him sideways. Said he felt propositioned and was about to walk out. Cassie came running out, heard the whole thing, and burst out laughing. Diddy went to the bedroom, came back, threw five thousand dollars at him. “Shut up.” Clayton pocketed it.
They started the session. Diddy said he wanted to eat Cassie out. Told Clayton to stand there and keep m*sturbating. But then Diddy started shifting his body so his an*s was aimed right at Clayton’s face. Clayton moved to the side. Diddy followed. He moved again. Diddy followed again.
“Yo bro, you blocking the damn scenery. You making me soft. Stay in one place.”
Diddy froze. “Oh. Oh. My bad.”
Did P Diddy hire Clayton to satisfy Cassie, or because he wanted another man naked in the room with him?
