That's a S&T that I can get behind.

LMFAO OH NO

 

[Tetsujin]

Did the Bucks not tell Giannis what they were planning ahead of time?

LMFAO OH NO

I'll wait for someone other than Chris Haynes to confirm the news.

Should be stated that Haynes has never been an agent/front office connection guy but has always been a player connection guy which is how he can end up botching trade or signing news. He is friends with Dame’s crew though.

Joe Dumars is a genius

He trained his craft with the Kings after all.

We’re also talking the guy who drafted Darko so he’s used to it

This!
We are seemingly severely overvaluing or own guys and every try so gauge a realistic interest gets clowned on this forum.
Now the Monk archetype seems to be just a salary dump in the current market, evident by the clarkson buy out. Yeah Monk is the better player, but the still are kind of same same.

Partly because all our guys are guards and guards are easier to find then forwards. They slide in drafts and you can find good ones as undrafted free agents (Brunson, Keon). So unless they are super elite it is hard to trade them and gain value.

So trade JV for saric. Save 15 million over 2 years. Dems like we are just in the money saving business right now. Will save 4-5 mil on s&s with monk and Schroeder

Would Ayton land in Indy now? Or do they also want to tank

 

[chief bromden]

Would Ayton land in Indy now? Or do they also want to tank

I think both of those things can happen simultaneously

 

[Tetsujin]

I don’t think those things are mutually exclusive

Fox and Vassell would fit pretty well onto that Bucks squad with Giannis going back to the Spurs

 

[Tetsujin]

You know who would be a good vet center to either help a rebuild or back up Domas and is on the same team as a young prospect that the Rockets are trying to trade (Whitmore)?

Steven Adams.

All these insiders and none of them knew about the Bane deal, or this Myles Turner deal, etc etc. All the noise out there is really just orchestrated smoke screens put out by teams and agents.

I feel for the Pacers fans. What if Tyrese didn't get injured? What if they closed out Game 4 better? A lot of things have to go well for a championship run.

Micic currently the Bucks’ starting point guard haha

What if Mathurin doesn’t miss twenty free throws in a row and foul a guy off ball two straight possessions? Insane stuff
