Heck yes! Barnes has the potential to be a top 20 player in the NBA! It would hurt moving Henson as I think he will also be a beast but Barnes is a special player at a position of need! Too bad its all wishfull thinking as the Warriors are not trading him...

Barnes will never be a top 20 guy. No defense.

I'd be specifically curious about what blazza and paul have to say on this matter.

I haven't seen enough GSW this year to really know how Barnes is doing.

Landry >>>>>>>>>> Mbah
Barnes >>> Henson

Furthermore, Landry makes less than Mbah.

This is completely a non-starter as GSW are VERY high on Barnes.

How exactly is Jennings "nearly untouchable?"

Still no deals? Interesting. Usually a couple leak out by now prior to the evening set of games.

I'd take Barnes in a heartbeat, but I dont see GS trading him away. Especially before he plays a full season. I think this kid is going to be something special

Seriously! It's weird that not a single deal has dropped yet.

On @Bucks trade rumors front, hearing Josh Smith is long shot & J.J. Redick talks are over. #Bucks reluctant to trade 1st round pick #Bucks

Boing.

Lance Allan ‏@lanceallan
I still think @Bucks are looking for a guard or power forward. Just seems like long shot to get Josh Smith & J.J. Redick doesn't seem likely

Because what we need is more 4s.

reluctant... more like: go F yourself

I'm still hoping for a smaller deal around Dalembert/Udoh for a younger guard (Brooks) or competent backup (Lee). Bucks aren't winning the title this year so no reason to give up Harris or a 1st.

His D looks fundamentally good to me, particularly for a rookie wing.

Yea I must be watching something completely different. He handles it fine for a rookie and will only improve. Its not like he's Tobias out there.


On the LRMAM/Henson for Landry/Barnes swap. Its interesting. But no way GSW do it. Even if Landry is getting less minutes atm.

Next year's draft is going to have two "once in a generation" talents including Wiggins who is starting to get LBJ type hype (Jabari Parker being the other). I fully expect several teams to REALLY tank next year. I mean its going to get ugly. A big part of me wants Milw to be one of those teams. And all that could start this week as teams shed talent for picks, etc. I mean if Milw lets everyone but Sanders, Henson, etc go they could get to really bad pretty easily.

As Bobbo would say, fasho.

Bucks have alot of Assets. Im reading trade chat on espn and 2/3rds of th eplayers mentioned are all Bucks.

Jennings
Dal
Ilyasova
Ellis

Nows the best time in along time to blow this whole roster up. Either collect as many draft picks as possable or get a core player like Bledsoe or Gordon to go with Sanders and build around.

Nothing of note in Woj's update, at least regarding the Bucks.

Barnes>>>>>Henson?? Like how? How good a player he is right now? How good each projects to be? Because I take Henson over Barnes as far as who I think has a higher ceiling. Skilled long athletic shotblocking PF >>>> Skilled? long athletic SG 7 times out of 10...

Apparently Poppovich cursed Howard out at the AS game for mingling with celebrities during a time-out when Pop was calling a play for him. My man-crush on Pop is reaching epic proportions.

Like Henson as much as you want, Barnes has without any shadow of a doubt had a more impressive rookie season thus far.

Guy has played a major starting role on a good team all season long and has shown a ton.

Yeah, Pop's the best.
