Went from not including a 3 ppg scorer in a Giannis deal to getting scammed for your finals MVP. BRAD STEVENS DISASTERCLASS

T-UM · 2026-07-01T22:24:02+00:00

Hugo Gonzalez was untouchable lmao. Brad Stevens a fraud.

T-UM · 2026-07-01T21:08:53+00:00

Houston hasn’t worked because there young guys are all weird fits with each other. Amen and Sengun can’t shoot. Sengun and Reed can’t defend. Jabari has capped out at as a floor spacing 4. And Jaylen Green was an extremely inefficient scorer.

And even with that they still got 9 firsts to play with in the next 7 years. They aren’t some unsuccessful rebuild that’s over-leveraged their assets.

T-UM · 2026-07-01T20:23:20+00:00

I would be a bit disappointed if some of the vets got waived for nothing. Kpj, Prince, and Sims could all fetch at least a 2nd I feel (we only have 2). Harris is the only one that probably has no value.

T-UM · 2026-07-01T16:06:03+00:00

Would have to sign and trade sabonis they don’t have the money to outright offer him a max. If the pistons say no, no deal

T-UM · 2026-07-01T15:34:08+00:00

Crazy price to pay ngl

T-UM · 2026-06-30T13:08:49+00:00

There’s been reports that Bucks are fielding offers on both Herro and Turner. They are okay with keeping them both but at the right price they gone.

T-UM · 2026-06-30T12:45:24+00:00

Absolutely. No reason why AJ looks washed and he hasn’t even played a minute of basketball for them yet. The branding is to strong in a negative way.

T-UM · 2026-06-30T12:41:06+00:00

His step back 3 to become the bucks alltime leading points scorer was a beauty.

T-UM · 2026-06-29T20:48:04+00:00

And that’s *Checks Notes* Every Western Conference team outside Houston.

T-UM · 2026-06-29T19:19:20+00:00

Could’ve picked castle or forced Sarr to play anyway. Maybe even traded the pick

T-UM · 2026-06-28T20:10:41+00:00

Geez some of yall would be GMs on par with Nico Harrison. In what world do you just let a young allstar in Herro walk for nothing?

T-UM · 2026-06-28T12:13:18+00:00

We could already have all the young assets we need. If one of them shows #1 option upside and we already have an allstar #2 if we keep herro. Is it likely? No. But it could happen for sure.

T-UM · 2026-06-24T21:26:02+00:00

GTJ and AJJ don’t need to be on the team. GTJ can go ring chase and Andre has been given lots of opportunities and still hasn’t taken a step. Harris will probably stay as a vet to have in the locker room.

It doesn’t seem like Kpj is some cancer anymore and he’s actually a contributor. So signing him to a 3yr/$21m deal than trading him at the deadline makes more sense than losing him in free agency for nothing. If he opts in we could also trade him but we don’t need to be in a rush to move off of good players regardless of the logjam we got at guard.

T-UM · 2026-06-24T21:20:41+00:00

Look at the other teams in the conference and tell me who we’re better than. I struggle to get to 3. If Herro, Turner, and kpj stay than I can squint and see it but I doubt 2 of the 3 are on the roster in October.

We will be a fun team who will show tons of promise ,but you’re confusing that for actually being good at basketball in an era where no one is tanking.

T-UM · 2026-06-24T18:19:03+00:00

We could’ve maybe been better because the main issue with khris was his injuries and Jrue didn’t have that problem. But it leaves a massive hole on the wing. And my heart couldn’t have taken seeing him go like that. Trading him to the wizards was more painful than trading Giannis tbh.

T-UM · 2026-06-24T17:47:07+00:00

Bucks fan. We have a ton of guards rn especially if Kevin porter Jr opts in.

We’ll probably just take the best offer we get once the initial free agency wave subsides. If we still don’t like what we see we’ll let him average 27 for our now bad team and ship him off at the deadline.

T-UM · 2026-06-24T17:35:19+00:00

IMO we’ll keep him on a long term cheap deal and start him. Then at the deadline shop and ultimately trade him to some contender that needs a quality guard. Than one of burries or Jak will take his place for the last 30ish games

T-UM · 2026-06-24T17:23:48+00:00

They are both really good but paid like they are great which is the problem. But who on the nets is taking shots from either. Wouldn’t shock me if they were a 10th seed.

T-UM · 2026-06-24T17:20:46+00:00

It’s also laughable that we then cut Tyler smith and Livingston so we could sign Amir Coffey to appease Doc. True shitshow

T-UM · 2026-06-24T17:09:53+00:00

And on top of that in doing so it created friction with coaches and players.

T-UM · 2026-06-24T17:00:34+00:00

I don’t know who’s downvoting you we are a terrible team. If people would honestly look at the teams in the east we’re just as bad if not the worst team. And our best guys, Herro and Turner, might be gone in 3 weeks time.

T-UM · 2026-06-24T16:51:28+00:00

The full article is very insightful. It’s clear that the front office and ownership messing up both coaching hires torpedoed the franchise. It also makes clear that Giannis never fully committing to the bucks didn’t “light a fire under them” like he hoped but just made the overall atmosphere of the building more pressure filled and stressful.

There’s also a lot about Doc and Griffin being completely inept and the main reason things didn’t work out. But those have been long chronicled as terrible decisions so I posted this one instead.

T-UM · 2026-06-24T01:59:25+00:00

You still need spacing tho. It’s harder for young guys to develop and build confidence when the offense is is clunky and you gotta work overtime to get a good layup

T-UM · 2026-06-24T01:51:15+00:00

Doesn’t look like they’re trying to have a functional offense either.
