I honestly would be kinda disappointed in Dejounte in the second round. Ridiculous.

Praying he is wrong.

Draft Day plan:

Step 1: Draft D. Davis
Step 2: Supply him with endless cups of coffee / a pile of cocaine
Step 3: Profit

If Bender slips to 6 or 7 (hes currently at 7 on DX) would you move up to get him? He's probably best available at that point and almost definitely has the highest ceiling of anyone left there. I think if you can use Monroe/MCW and swap picks its worth it for the value of picking him up that late in the lottery.

My guess is if anyone 'slips' 15 teams will be looking to trade up. It's no big secret where the drop off is.

Chad Ford is a CLOWN. (Also, he lives in Hawaii so I can't imagine he gets to many/any college or pro games.)

There is however a difference in trading #7 down to #10 and say #15.

What would we give up in addition to #10 if a guy like Hield or Bender fell? A future first?

Of course, hence the price would be higher to do so. My point was simply that there will not be any ninja type trade for a fallen talent in this draft.

Trade up for Bender
Baldwin
Poeltl
Trade down and take anyone but Dejounte

Cmon Bucks. Leave me happy on draft day for once.

• Fox Sports’ Olgun Uluc is also reporting that Thon Maker may not be 19-years-old. He could be as old as 24.

Called it.

The most obvious move is Monroe/10 for Asik/6. Some people say that's too much money coming back, but Asik is probably a better fit (albeit overpaid) at center. Bender is so perfect for us it's not even funny. So fluid for a kid his size and a great handle.

Ford vs. Givony showdown tonight with D. Murray vs. Davis.

He's a cross between MCW, Elfrid, and Brad; it seems like. So not so bizarre, given the players involved in our f.o., if you think about it.

I think taking D. Murray would suggest major dysfunction still exists.

One of the slotted value centers like Davis, Skal, and Poeltl would be a better sign because it seems something that's much more practical-minded.

Max Green · Post #1957 » by **Max Green** » Thu Jun 23, 2016 7:39 pm

Start talking yourself into D. Murray now, it will make you feel a lot better once his name is announced as our pick in a couple of hours.

Cooleyo47 · Post #1958 » by **Cooleyo47** » Thu Jun 23, 2016 7:40 pm

I feel like we're about to get an idea of whether Kidd's personnel power has actually diminished or if all this recent talk of him as "coach only" is just a smokescreen to pacify us.

D. Murray reeks of Kidd-stench.

LUKE23 · Post #1959 » by **LUKE23** » Thu Jun 23, 2016 7:41 pm

There is going to need to be a lot of rationalization from everyone, fans and front office alike, if we draft him. High usage, low efficiency, poor shooting, poor A/TO. But hey, HE'S TALL!!!

Just because they Bucks do something, it doesn't mean we all have to like it.

Most of us are independent thinkers and not shills for the FO.
