lead this morning is dame lillard uh is reported can i jump frog on this oh okay go ahead okay so
00:06
and i have the same lead well we have the same topic of leads okay it's reported that the celtics
00:11
the warriors and the uh lakers are all interested in dame um i don't and i wonder what your feelings
00:18
on this i don't know why the celtics would do this it's 112.6 million dollars to take a 34 year old
00:25
who's coming off an achilles injury during a time where the celtics are trying to unload money
00:30
that's what everybody's been trying to tell me 112.6 million dollars for this is my my lead
00:36
my lead to no okay it's not 112 million the milwaukee bucks will pick up his contract oh yes
00:42
the milwaukee he's paid for milwaukee the 20 i forget what he's supposed to be making for milwaukee i
00:47
think it's like 22 or 23 million you could get him for basically the veteran veteran exception
00:55
minimum which is like 15 million that you would have to pay him and then they're on the hook for
01:00
the 22 and then they're on the hook for the 22 so i love it because you would be able to get him
01:06
for like 15 million a year he would then get or 17 million he would then get his 22 million
01:12
for the milwaukee bucks who owe him like four or five years um but so why would milwaukee do this
01:18
because they waived them they got rid of them so they didn't you don't have to trade for them they
01:22
basically the milwaukee bucks have waived dame lillard but he still had five years right you
01:27
have to pay him out 112.6 million dollars not even playing no they pay him that that's what i'm saying
01:33
yes milwaukee pays him that and then the celtics give him the veteran exception which is like 17
01:39
million for somebody in his age bracket so he would get 22 from milwaukee and then 17 from the celtics and
01:46
you basically getting his 40 million and you would be able to only you'd only have to pay him 17 million
01:51
and then what do you have to give up for that you don't have to give up anything but players you
01:55
don't have to give none the milwaukee waived them they cut him i know free agent i i i understand but
02:00
i'm saying space wise on this team where are you putting him well i mean you could put him anywhere
02:05
like you would just it would be no different than adding a player to the current roster but i don't
02:10
my my lead was going to be because i don't like it everybody's talking about the core the the core four
02:17
and so you end up having tatum and jalen brown and you've got derek white and you add dane willard
02:25
i don't mind if it doesn't if they're going to spend money then i don't mind adding him i don't
02:29
care how he's 34 years old like what's the what's the risk no there's no risk the only risk you have
02:35
is that you're better but you're not good enough to win a title so this year you're a three seed and
02:40
you're not improving your roster well he won't be able to play this year anyway you would get him next
02:44
year when tatum came back and you still have the ability to get a max guy so you'd have jalen brown
02:51
tatum a max guy derrick white and then dame lillard would basically be like
02:56
the pj brown of the celtics when they won 07
