Would it be fair to criticize him for team hopping?

We all know Durant was criticized for signing with Golden State because they had Curry, Klay, and Draymond doing their thing already

Is it similar circumstances for Lillard joining up with Giannis, Middleton, and Lopez? Or would you consider it more “fair”

middleton ≠ klay

though giannis/steph and lopez/dray are fairly equatable

KD was with thunder/sonics for 9 yrs before bouncing, while dame spent 11 yrs with blazers before this.

situations are comparable but no so linear.

one thing for sure, dame will never live down the loyal, 'cant run from the grind' persona he's made his mantra

:rofl:

no they are not they got bounced in the first round even with Giannis hurt.

KD was the best player in the NBA and he went to the best team in the NBA.

Dame is a great player albeit declining and is going to a mid tier team.

It is no where near the same my dude.

Difference is Dame replaced one of the Bucks 3 best players from that Championship team.

KD was straight up an addition to what they already had lol
