It goes without saying that landing star guard Damian Lillard raises the stakes for the Bucks, who, with a pair of 30-point-per-game scorers, arguably boast the NBA’s most potent 1-2 punch.
But acknowledging that is different from saying the trade alone guarantees a smooth ride, particularly early on. This new-look Milwaukee club, which features a new coach in Adrian Griffin and two new starters, may take time to figure out how to implement a handful of things.
Of course, the biggest shift—Lillard supercharging the offense alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo—may not take all that long.

Tyreek Hill’s lofty preseason goals are within reach. The Dolphins speedster proclaimed he’d eclipse 2,000 receiving yards before the season started and he’s on pace to do just that and more.
After another electrifying performance in Week 6, Hill has tallied 42 catches for 814 yards and six touchdowns through six games. If he were to keep this pace for the rest of the season, he’d finish with 119 catches for 2,306 yards—making him the first player in NFL history to eclipse 2,000 receiving yards.
Before he even set foot on the field in 2023, he predicted this July.
Now Ben Simmons is with you FOREVER.
There are a lot of bad tattoos out in the world. Drunken late-night decisions, the names of ex partners, this tattoo of Lionel Messi that makes him look like a water-loving alien elf — but getting a chest tattoo of Ben Simmons might take the cake. On Monday night a star-struck fan gleefully showed Simmons his ink, and the Nets guard was blown away someone actually did this.

Here we go, a run toward the college football playoffs is at-stake this weekend between Ohio State-Penn State, while Tennessee looks for its second straight win against Alabama. A Pac-12 battle between USC and Utah could decide the Trojans’ season.
Congratulations, you’ve made it to the middle of October, and for some of your favorite teams, this is a crucial weekend.
Luckily for us, there are three games this weekend that could determine who potentially plays for a conference title.
That’s how you win over a fanbase.
Patrick Beverley is an instigator. Philadelphia is a city full of instigators when it comes to their sports fans. That’s why when the 76ers signed the 35-year-old guard to a one-year deal over the offseason, it felt like a perfect match. It’s only taken a few preseason games to hammer home that point even more.
As the Sixers beat the Nets, 127-119, in preseason action on Monday night, Beverley was ejected for doing what he does best: being a pest.
Once again, the injury bug bites as fantasy managers look to find possible replacements for QB Justin Fields, RB Christian McCaffrey, WR Deebo Samuel, and RB David Montgomery, to name a few. In addition, six teams (Bengals, Cowboys, Titans, Jets, Panthers, and Texans) are on bye in Week 7, so welcome to this week’s waiver wire article! We’re glad you’re here. It’s not exactly pretty out there, but there are some options.
The next time six teams are on bye comes in Week 13. If you’ve been saving your FAAB, size up your competition this week and spend wisely.
Oakland A’s pitcher Trevor May announced his retirement from baseball on Monday afternoon before immediately proceeding to blast team owner John Fisher.
Fisher isn’t exactly the most-liked man in Oakland these days as the Athletics prepare to move the franchise to Las Vegas. May, along with plenty of A’s fans, doesn’t believe Fisher cares about baseball or the fact that he’s uprooting the team and heading East.

NFL action in Week 6 once again reminded football fans and bettors that winning on the road is never easy. After Sunday, no undefeated teams remain after both Philadelphia (5-1) and San Francisco (5-1) suffered shocking road losses.
The Jets beating the Eagles – without Aaron Rodgers, their best offensive lineman as well as both of their starting cornerbacks, is arguably the biggest upset thus far in the NFL this season. Prior to Sunday, New York had never previously beaten Philadelphia in their franchise history, losing 12 consecutive games.

Lakers legend Michael Cooper was not a fan of LeBron James eating on the bench during the team’s preseason game on Friday night against the Warriors.
James, who played in the first half of the game, was caught by cameras eating at the end of the bench in street clothes in the second half as his team battled the Warriors in a ramp up to the regular season.
“I didn’t like it,” Cooper said on The Showtime Podcast. “I didn’t like that. Again, he’s LeBron James, but still, you got to have respect for the game man, man. He’s sitting over there.
