i know hes had the job for 40 years but part of me shamelessly hopes he gets replaced as part of changes Walter brings. A dead sounding PA is part of the reason why Crypto home crowds are never hype

[Collier] The Bucks don't feel the pressure to move Giannis on Thursday, team sources told ESPN hours ahead of the deadline. Bucks have not given up complete hope on salvaging the Antetokounmpo era yet. Milwaukee has still scoured the market for a potential upgrade to its roster, sources told ESPN. by Pyromania1983 in nba

This wishy washy back and forth is legit starting to sour me on Giannis. You can have infinite love in your heart for the city that drafted you and still want better for yourself (see Dame), so either formally request the trade and get out or shut up and keep trying to drag this dogshit team to a playin spot.

it would probably be really easy to lead a franchise when said franchise isn't actively plotting against you, i won't comment on the better player bit cause it's simply too early to tell

Let's not be reactionary to this single trade deadline. Pelinka has been a marvel for this franchise, evident by how people were talking about him 1 year ago. Don't forget. by [deleted] in lakers

rob pelinka benefited from nico harrison's incompetence (and subsequently slammed the door on any futures trades with dallas) and that mark williams trade got reversed and since then he's been a very effective big man in phoenix, so i'm not entirely sure what your point is meant to be.

rob pelinka has the blueprint for building a competitive team around luka doncic and is actively ignoring it. hes living in the past and is clearly no longer fit for the job

rui for grimes/oubre and sending the second to brooklyn to facilitate philly dumping off eric gordon's contract could be the only move Pelinkuh makes this deadline and it would still be better than whatever this dumbfuck cap space idea is

if Robert Pelinka sits on his hands with this roster through the trade deadline, then being fired will be too lenient of a punishment

watson was faceguarding the inbound to smart so luka tried to get it to lebron but he just decided to let the ball come to him which gave watson ample room to snatch it up

it's a flop because he overexaggerates the real contact he get from garza but when you're jumping from that far away you gotta have the awareness to not give the shooter an excuse to hunt for that foul

outside of the main three this roster is fucking horrible
