And that's why the odds for Bucks to win the "Most Regular Season Wins" is now 4.00 as they are the favorites. Regular Season Wins - Milwaukee Bucks Over/Under 55.5 games.

It's good though that Giannis blurted out to the media on what he want to do or what he needs. And so the Bucks responded with getting Lillard for Giannis and for sure every Buck fan are very happy on the development. At least Giannis will have every reason to stay with Milwaukee and wiling to work out with Dame and win more championships.

Yes, it could be like Giannis telling it to the management what he wants, without telling to them directly. As he just spoke it to several podcasts and he reiterate it over and over again. And for sure the Management have heard it already and maybe even before that, they could have been looking for some great players in the trade block to get in order to satisfy Giannis.

As for the main man, it doesn't matter though, for sure Lillard knows that this is Giannis team. The most important thing is that they could join up and cooperate which each other as this could be the closest that Lillard could be a NBA champion and then Giannis and the Bucks could be the next team to established a dynasty with them teaming up. Maybe one or two ring will be good enough for the both of them.

I don't think Giannis will have an issue with someone like Dame commanding the play. I bet he'll appreciate the work load that will be taken off and the more floor space that will be created for him since Dame is such a threat in the perimeter and beyond the arc. I also see a Lebron-Kyrie dynamic here so chemistry won't be that big of a problem I guess. Team depth is probably their main weakness this new season.

I also wanted to see good chemistry between Giannis and Lilard.

Not that fast, but they need to develop that trust between them. Both are alphas which one of them needs to step down and give
the leadership, I'm aiming to see characteristic of aiming as one and not to fall down with who's much better among the two, a KD
and Curry's respecting each other type of leadership.
 
If they can create that 1-2 punch between Dame and the Freak, that's a tough offensive attack that Bucks can lean on.

You're right they are both alphas, but that being said they are two different players with very different skill sets.  Lillard is an all time great shooter, and Giannis is an all time greatvery tall all around game great..so I don't see them having too much trouble meshing.  Giannis knows what Lillard brings to the table, and you can bet that ownership and management spoke with Giannis about the trade before it went down.  It's important he was on board.

I don't think they are gonna be a pnr team, Dame will help clear lanes for Giannis.  Giannis is much more of a slasher than jokic.  Also as an elite passer pnr works for jokic.  Going to be fun to see that team on the floor together.  Only about a week away from official practice starting can't wait to finally watch knick basketball again.

Yeah my personal opinion, you are correct and thank you for bringing that stats up.
However, stats are a different side of story and It's essential for individual development of a player and that doesn't necessarily mean it could contribute to lead the team to a win.
Jae could have lesser fg attempts than Pat resulting to that figure, but as far as we are talking about PPG, Pat is a bit above than Jae, that's why I said Pat could score more than Jae.
We can't deny that Pat has been an absolutely amazing piece for the Bucks success. The very reason why he got the three-year $28.2 million dollar contract after the 2021–2022 season. So IMO, Pat has developed a good chemistry to the team already that he's confident to make his own play and create his own shot.
Nevertheless, they are both amazing player. Now, it's up to the coaching staff how they will asses their starting five.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Lillard has been the leader of the Blazers for most of his career, and I think he's going to try to become the leader of the Bucks as well, thereby changing Giannis' role on the team. Of course, they both want to win a championship, but in order to do that, they should have a great understanding on the court and be willing to give in to each other to achieve a good team result.

But Lillard should understand that he is the one moving to a new team, so he can't just be the leader in a snap, otherwise if he wanted to, then there could be some friction early and it might not bring good chemistry and harmony to the team. For sure he knows that, he is already considered a veteran and he has seen a lot of high caliber players joining other superstars and so he should be learning thru that.

As far as for Giannis, for sure he his not going to be threaten when Lillard join the Bucks as he knows his role too in the team. On the other hand, the Bucks team will be very happy to see and learning from Dame and feels what Dame time is all about.

And the other good thing here is that Damian Lillard can carry them if Giannis will be injured and vice versa. We saw how weak the Milwaukee Bucks are offensively without Giannis on the floor either a threat or he will be the one scoring on his own. It is a big part of their system that the ball will end up to him most of the time. Now, it will be different. They have options. If Giannis decides to sit then Lillard can take over and do his thing.

I like what Giannis said when he was interviewed about the trade.

I hope he will not forget that truth. Jrue Holiday is one of the key players in why they received their first championship. And he was also the one who made the promise of Giannis to the Milwaukee fans to materialize into a fact. Jrue will be missed and I hope Trail Blazers will not focus on their other guards and use Jrue as their main playmaker.
