POLL: What on-court result for next season do you want?

I can see Wolters making a big leap next season. If our starting lineup consists of Wolters/giannis/draft pick i will be cheering for wins.

We could pick a player that ends up being future All-NBA player and the odds are extremely likely that he's a net negative next season. That's how it is with the overwhelming majority of rookies.

Anyway, I chose another top five pick and there are a couple avenues to that pick. One is taking Embiid and dumping Sanders in a 10 cents on the dollar deal. Another is simply taking Wiggins or Parker and playing them 30 minutes a night. Playing Knight at PG helps a tank. Playing Henson a ton. Keeping Drew.

The Bucks could definitely tank their way to another top five pick.

I agree with everything Luke has posted. Develop Giannis, Nate, Kris, Miroslav, and our draft picks. Hire a new coach and GM. Try to move Mayo, ZaZa, and Defino. Don't resign Ariens, Sessions.

This team isn't going to be a contender next season anyway. Just try to implement a new culture here.

I want to see a new regime with a good young coach. I want a team that plays smart basketball and plays hard and is fun to watch. I want a gm that is savvy and is able to start stockpiling assets by moving some of Hammonds mess.

If I get that I really don't care if they win 20, 30, or 45 games.

Develope Yanni and Wiggins in stealth tank as we did this year. Young guys get pt and we get another top pick. Everyone wins!

I agree with most here. As long as Giannis, #1 pick, Middleton, Henson, Nate, and Knight is the primary rotation I don't really care about the results. If they succeed it means we have a great young core. If they suck it means we need more help and growth. They should get the growth by playing more and we should get help in the draft. It would be nice to have a Thunder era Kevin Ollie type player to be a veteran presence but I don't know where you turn for that type of player. If the Lakers really wanted to dump Nash's contract and would give up something for a team to take him he would be my #1 choice.

Any result is fine as long as the young guys are playing. Some play off experience would be great.

I think if we develop giannis and #1 were naturally going to be tanking again albeit not a top 3 pick tanking but also lower then 15 which would be best for our team at that point.

If Drew is the coach:

Develop Giannis and the Pick is priority one

If, say, Messina is the coach:

Make the playoffs. A competent coach who understands the ways of the Spurs could do wonders with Wolters, Giannis, Middleton, Sanders, Knight off the bench and our pick. The turnaround would be so quick that I'm in favor of trading future picks for more firsts this year if the right coach is brought in, because we wont be bad any longer and the value of the future picks will only depreciate. Hell, OJ Mayo's not exactly a valuable player right now, but as a sunk cost, he at least offers two skills of value as the ninth man or so: outside shooting and free throw shooting. We have pieces that, if surrounded by the right players and the right system, will be good enough to make the playoffs in the east next year.

Same as always. If the youth is showcased from day one and not as plan B I'll support going for wins. That doesn't mean if in the middle of the season our young guys luck into playing time that I will be rooting for us to win those games.

That said, no matter what we do I don't see this team being any good. Probably won't even be sniffing the playoffs even in the weak east. That's fine with me though.

im expecting another season of lost interest to start sometime in mid November. of course id like a 50+ win season.

pe_it72 · Post #33 » by **pe_it72** » Mon Apr 14, 2014 1:30 pm

In my humble opinion the only way to get this team to contend is realize that this roster isn't close to winning 50 games. We should not be pursuing any Free Agents. Resigning any vets. You do not add those players until you have a core that can CONTEND and not just compete. There is a huge difference.

We need to let the youth run their course until they are ready. We do not need to tank any games. Just let our young core play, mesh and develop together. We can sign those rotation guys any off season. They are always available. There are numerous Ramon Sessions and Jeff Adrians out there that if they walk this year we will not be missing out on anything epidemic.

We just need to realize who we are. The worst team in the NBA with a ton of potential. I've said this 5 or 6 times this season. We do not need to rush to compete here. It happened in Cleveland with Lebron. They made a ton of mistakes on his way to leaving for Miami.

Let me give you the latest team that wasn't patient enough to let their youth develop and continue to add high lotto picks to a very high potential young core. The Detroit Pistons. They had Monroe/Drummond to build around. All they had to do was wait it out. Would have had cap flexibility. Add a top pick this year to that and maybe another next year. Are you kidding me? Watch out everyone else. Instead they overpay for two meat heads in BJ and Smoove (who doesnt fit on the roster) and now are looking at losing a valuable young peice in Monroe.

If we win games, we win games. If we lose them, we lose them. But put the right roster on the floor every night. Thats all I ask. Thats all we should want. With the sale so close the arena thing shouldnt be anyones argument to "win now" this offseason. If we get sold we are getting a new arena. Plain and simple.

Development of our #1, Giannis and consistent 30 + minute a night court time for both and Henson is my only goal.

If we win games then great! if not, no biggie. That's the fun of building correctly. The only way to lose is if we don't commit to our young talent.

I want for next season what I wanted this franchise to do THIS year: Giving heavy minutes to our young guys and let the wins and losses fall as they may. The result is completely secondary to the actual roster and coaching staff we put out there next year.

Give me 28-54 with our young guys getting the majority of the minutes and with a competent coach, over going 18-64 with a collection of washed up vets and Larry Drew any day.

How winning 50+ games next season and a playoff series isn't running away with the win in this poll is dumbfounding. If we win 50+ games next season with what we currently have in place, it's likely because our talent has developed (particularly Giannis) more than anyone thought possible. Competing at that level with the younger guys would really make the Bucks a hot ticket in town.

Thunder Muscle · Post #38 » by **Thunder Muscle** » Mon Apr 14, 2014 3:28 pm

I definitely think you have to do everything possible to trade Ersan, Delfino, and Mayo this offseason, especially Mayo. I think the only thing in our favor with that is its a 2 year deal, so maybe a team takes a flyer for a year and if it clicks, great. If not, they have an expiring the next. Assuming we draft Wiggins, I like this moving forward...

Starters: Wolters, Wiggins, Giannis, Henson, and Sanders
Super Subs: Knight, Middleton
Stable Veteran Presence: ZaZa

And we can fill the rest in with our 2nd rd picks and cheap vets who know their role/young guys looking for fresh start.

I'd look to trade Ersan, Pachulia, Delfino, and Mayo (pipe dream I know). We have enough youth with the second rounders to fill out an entire rotation. I would not bring back either Sessions or Adrien.

Pretty much this. I'd consider bringing back Sessions depending on how the draft goes and who is available.

jimmybones · Post #40 » by **jimmybones** » Mon Apr 14, 2014 4:36 pm

Not only develop Giannis and our pick but play youth with them and let them all grow together. Even if we don't add another top 5 pick, I'd be more than happy to add another pick in the 8-14 range to a team that might already have a strong core in place. Giannis and this years pick are very good chances of having our superstar or two stars, I don't think landing a 3rd star is a must as much as it would be a luxury. Those two plus a very strong supporting cast can be championship caliber.

What result of 2014-15 would be best for the franchise?
