Shannon Sharpe says Giannis 'WEAKENED' the Bucks with Damian Lillard trade | First Take

So are we not gonna mention that doc rivers is just not that good of a coach?

The dame experiment has failed. Dame is clearly overrated. Dude isn't a team player he just wants to stand at the 3 point line and take contested shots...and doc doesn't coach so here we are. Drop dame fire doc get an actual coach and a PG that actually places basketball rather than shoot around

The Milwaukee Cu*k* 😂

Giannis is selfish.. this is the same dude who went home after winning the finals and left his team hanging. Teague said it was the most depressing celebration ever 😂. He went home and played Xbox the day he won a ring 😂.

I called this after the Dame trade. Giannis will ruin the team and leave them in the dust 😂.

And y’all look at me crazy when I say doc is the most overrated coach ever

Doc Rivers says, "I need one more year to completely destroy this team. I guarantee it." 😂

Trading jrue was the biggest mistake. Trading him, you lost somebody who play both sides of the ball well vs someone who give you one side of the ball.

Where is this energy with Lebron and the whack as lakers captain zesty aka Shannon sharp- aye yo let’s talk about what ray Buchanan did it him 😂😂😂😂

I think the way the bucks win is by letting Dame be ball dominant.

Giannis doesn’t need to ball handle, he can be pick and role/ cut/screen/ double screen dominant!


Sure dame can move around like curry but it’s best to let dame have the ball

Im pretty sure dame never said he wanted to go to Milwaukee

Dear Shannon, Giannis got a ring in Milwaukee without a super team, or even another big superstar. I think he has the right to take shots to whoever he likes, even if it is your guy LeBron or the other loser KD.

Giannis "has blood on his hands" of Perkins keeps reapeating !!! come on, stop hating so much...

No way i would have traded Holiday. This guy steals passes like the old NBA live passing lane steal button.😂

The warriors, analytics nerds, and 2k gamers got everyone thinking 3pt shooting is the most important thing in basketball.

Giannis hasn't said anything about leaving Milwaukee. Why is this even a segment 😆.

Shannon was outta pocket for the Bud aspect.

I don’t think Giannis called him for him to be fired.

they playing bad cuz they need the GOAT Thanasis

They fired a winning coach and hired doc rivers & the team has been going down since.

People just cannot seem to remember or understand just how big of a part Middleton is in the bucks success.
And brook’s lack of athletic ability and explosiveness is hurting the bucks

When they traded for Dame nobody could have predicted it’d be this bad. In fact, most were enthusiastic. But, I guess, it’s obvious now it was a bad move, and yes, it’d be better if they had traded Middleton since he’s constantly injured.

How you refer him to “your beloved lakers” he’s just a lebron glazer. Where was he the whole entirety time during 20 years of kobe? 😂😂

Lillard is a stats only guy. He gets them when teams have no chance of winning. When he on a winning team he's not good. He's a volume 3 point shooter. You aren't surprised when he goes 1-10. You are surprised when he goes 7-10. He's ice cold or red hot. 8-20 is 40% he great right? Nope. He got you one loses and won win just like he did in Portland. Every year they were around 41-41. Add in he'd top 5 in being a bad defender he gets up almost as many points as he scores unless he has one hot is indane hot game where he scores 45+. At 25 points he kills you team he gives up more than he scores. Bad trade. It was never going to be a good trade. 2 guys that are ball dominate. It couldn't work. Lillard doesn't work anywhere. He didn't work in Portland unless you like meaning stats and 41+ loses a year. Which is pretty much he whole career in Portland and he brought that to the Bucks. You don't need a team of superstars to win. You need one with good team players around 1 superstar. Bucks did it and Denver did it. The team got worse around both and now they aren't going to win. The lack of the superstar isn't the problem is good team players around them.

Hard to improve a roster when you are up against the cap and are in the second apron. You can only trade 1 for 1. You can package together let's say 3 players to get 1 better player. You can't sign a good player you have no money. You have no draft capital or cap space. So, build a better roster how? Even if you trade Giannis is only 1 for 1. Even if you can get 5 first you still want players. You can only get 1. The Bucks are old to. The core was old. They stuck with that core to long. Now you have a aging Giannis who's not the same game on the defensive end and Lillard who plays zero defense and doesn't fit. A two-man guy? Nope Giannis can't pick and shoot he has to be 3 three from the basket to score and that's about beyond his shooting range. The 2 man guy doesn't work with Lillard. Good luck.

Perk love ya, you have pretty good takes but you breathing from the mouth bro ain’t healthy… read the book Breath by James Nestor and you might save some years in your life.

Just saying because in the last 4 years I’ve heard you breathing in air so loud before you speak 😂

Greek freak n dame can work but they lack a bench

James jones is still the goat of getting a ring wherever he goes😂

When are you so call experts going to hold Greek accountable, he can't shoot or pass while being ball dominant. He has no low post moves with his back to the basket plus he's a liability in Clutch time.

Management makes a bad trade for Bron, and you guys say, "Lebron's not the GM it's up to the organization....management makes a bad trade for Giannis. "It's all his fault. He made his bed, now he's gotta lie in it" the hypocrisy is wild.

What kind of culture is this. “Should Giannis want out?” When a team loses some games, immediately ask should their star wants out??

Dame isn’t a superstar he’s just a long range shooter

Dear Bucks,
Thanks for Jrue Holliday. Hope thinks work out for you with Dame. Lol!

“When you didn’t Beyoncé this roaster and upgrade it” Perk puts a lot of thought into this… we love it!

Hold up, I think they are making up this stuff about giannis getting coaches fired. The only coach that he reportedly got fired was Griffin. I don't remember the reports about kidd or budenholzer

Lakers ain't got no BENCH & No BACK UP CENTERS!!! How they supposed to win the CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!????

The coach is the issue

Molly is looking "DIVINE".

Of course blame the Dame trade instead of Doc Rivers being trash at his job.

Only hope is to see if you can move off of Middleton at the deadline. Don't know wwhat you'd get for him. Fire DOc by Thanksgiving.

Jrue Holiday is a better all around player than Dame respectively. They should've traded Middleton.

I blame ownership. They made all these decisions. Smh 🤦

Giannis weakened the team by giving his brother a roster spot that a much better player should've been occupying. Finally gone. Too little, too late.

Budenholzer didn’t leave for a season for a reason. One of the best mf coaches in a league. He didn’t just not get an offer last season. He completely didn’t play

thats crazy they talkin giannis leavin... they built the team he wanted, leave nah bid dog eat that u asked for this

The got some much energy for the bucks but won’t say nothing about the 76ers

Don’t lie, we all loved seeing dame leave Portland 😂

When the Bucks traded for Dame I immediately said that they gave up their defensive identity that won them a championship to get a guy that has 0 success playing as a number 2 and is a mismatch mentality wise for Giannis as a teammate in Lillard. Dame is great for sure but he never had expectations in Portland and was given complete control because he was the franchise player. Now hes Robin instead of being Batman on a team being guided by the blind and deaf. The Bucks didn't just crash the car when they changed coaches. They sank the ship, then blew up the exploration sub to go see the wreckage after. The Bucks are almost looking at a complete rebuild stage.

Molly is so annoying
