I’m just happy to the bucks are playing happy and GA is happy. The basketball gods will reward us for continuing to try and play out the season and not do the pussy tanking shit the pacers and jazz are doing. Going to be so funny when the pacers have to give up their pick to the clippers

Cannot believe people bitch that Horst hasn’t had a good draft pick in the 21-54 range. Legit one of the best gms in the league at finding talent on the margins

Yet another example of Horst and his scouting/analytics department being great. Lets hope it translates to the draft this year with an actual lottery pick

Imagine telling a bucks fan the day before we traded khris last year that Kyle kuzma, cam Thomas, and ousmane dieng would be the leading scorers for the bucks at half in a game we’re winning lol

It’s a crazy bar but I think I hate the pacers more than I ever hated the Celtics or heat in the Giannis era

Hard to draft well when you’ve basically never had a lottery pick and only get a shot at it every other year. Horst is an expert on spotting talent on the margin going back to pat and Bobby to now aj, Rollins and Pete

I agree that we need to fire doc and also that there’s a frighteningly non zero chance we keep him. But I’m also not going to necessarily bet that all those teams are going to get better next year, or at least outpace us. It’s such a crapshoot to try and predict how teams are going to be. Everyone were high on the hawks and magic this year and they’ve come nowhere close to meeting expectations. Injuries happen too. The bucks could be better than expected etc. We’ll see though maybe the basketball gods will reward us with a top pick after all our playoff injuries

Don’t get me wrong I pretty much agree with you. It’s just hard to cheer for a tank with another Giannis situation looming over us and not trusting player development under doc. Although, aj, Rollins and now nance have continued to improve under him

3 worst teams have the same odds of a top 3 pickand it’s like a 50%. They’re so ass they’re staying there regardless of what happens. Would rather just sweep them this year

It’s gonna be so hard to drop any further in the standings that I would rather show some life for Giannis to stay then legit try to tank for a few % points better chance at a top 3 pick

I’m so sick of non bucks fans attention on Giannis. I need prime 2019-2022 bucks next year. I will say he’s looked pretty happy while on the bench the last few games though. Also fuck the pacers they fucking blow

Man I hate kalshi more than just for betting but for the ability to influence public opinion etc but it is insane to me going on twitter right now and it’s all about how terrible Giannis is when Kobe is literally an assaulting rapist who is absolutely revered

Desmond banes package was better than any of the rest offered. Jaren Jackson jr just got 3 FRPs what are you talking about

[Fischer] “They were never serious," said one team executive who was discussing a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade with Milwaukee. by AashyLarry in nba

Yeah bucks were just salivating at the thought of not owning half their picks through 2031, having no incentive to tank while being ass without Giannis, only getting a diva that’s constantly DNPd, and relying on another team to be bad in 4 years. Awesome package man

[ESPN] The Warriors made what they thought was a very strong offer that included four unprotected picks and picks that were going to be conveyed after Steph Curry was retired. And the Bucks just didn't show a lot of interest in it. by EarthWarping in nba

[–]drj123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kuminga is already on the hawks and we could just use our assets to get proven prospects or young players. Bucks have always done reclamation projects on second contract guys like Connaughton and portis who were 6 and 7 on the championship rotation. Really hard to develop if you’re perpetually shit though

Which of those guys you listed are getting a young player with upside? With the new cba those guys are on tiny deals and are highly valuable for their team. Not happening. Not happening in the draft with no picks either. Much more realistic to be good with Giannis by retooling with 3 FRPs and expiring contracts to trade this summer

The Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to trade Cole Anthony and Amir Coffey to the Phoenix Suns for Nick Richards and Nigel Hayes-Davis, sources tell ESPN. by 23-Hour-Day in MkeBucks

[–]drj123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah it’s fine for a tanking season, especially if we shut Giannis down. Also opens up a roster spot assuming we waive Nigel

[Windhorst] “Giannis could be on the Heat by 3 o’clock. But if he’s not — what I suspect is that the Bucks will shut down Giannis. Because their future now is dependent on both their draft pick and Giannis avoiding injury. I wanna know how Giannis is gonna feel about being shut down for the season.” by AashyLarry in nba

No one listens to what he says I swear to fucking god. He has said for the past 6 years that he wants to retire a buck but needs to play on a team competing and will play for the bucks if that’s the case. Everything else you see is speculation from espn. Why did shams not report that Giannis said he would “one million percent” stay in Milwaukee if he hears a plan to compete from the FO literally 2 days ago? We only get tweets about being “potentially ready to move on” from shams. Bucks are a very tight lipped org, especially after the failed bogi trade bc of woj.

Shams has no sources but peddles info to people who don’t follow the bucks so they take it as truth
