Harkless and Crabbe are about the only two remaining I'd be interested in, but we're getting to the point where minutes will be tougher to come by.

We should sign LeBron

The Bucks should stay out of Unrestricted Free Agency unless they are dealing with minimum players or true impact players.

Everything else is a giant waste of cap space and potential assets.

Keep treadmilling Bucks... ugh.

Definitely think we need an iso scorer off the bench in addition to fixing the center position.

Nedovic
Vesely
Bennett
TJones

Speights would be pretty damn entertaining and I dont think I'd be upset with Waiters if he comes at the right price once Crabbe is off the board

Re-sign plumlee and call it a day. Bucks can have plumlee and henson be back up centers. We need to move monroe for the center that we need or we should run with a small ball lineup and force teams to not be able to play a center.

Assuming Ezeli goes to Portland some kind of sign/trade with Crabbe for Monroe seems unlikely. If Crabbe is still out there at this point though he must not be getting all that good of offers but I still assume Portland matches pretty much whatever offer he gets. Who knows though, maybe worth a shot as that's the only position they have left to fill assuming Plumlee comes back as another backup big.

That's not going to happen.

Still need another backup wing and combo guard. I'm open to suggestions.

Redundant with MAP imo

Rebounding. Rebounding. Rebounding.

Fine then:

Trade Middleton for Cousins
Trade Giannis for Curry
Trade Parker to get Middleton back
Trade Monroe for Serge Ibaka

Curry
Middleton
LeBron
Ibaka
Cousins

I don't get why people make this so much harder than it needs to be.

Derrick Williams.

Yeah I wish we weren't here. But about every 3-4 game he's good for a massive bench sparkplug run. We need a guy like that.

Somehow the most plausible sequence of events.

And likely isn't commanding much of a contract either. Probably a better option than locking up 40 mil in someone like Crabbe. I think I'd prefer more of a 2/3 mix like Crabbe rather than 3/4 mix like him. But not a lot of options out there.

Another 3rd string guard shouldn't be too hard to pick off a scrap heap. With Delly and MCW along with Giannis using up handling most of the G duties you probably can get by just grabbing another guy at the Ennis level just for depth. Marshall could be an option, seem to remember Kidd loving him and I haven't seen him sign. Would have rather just used the second pick on Jackson from ND but here we are.

I think T. Jones is a pretty intriguing backup C option. Can rim run and should be able to stretch the floor a bit. If he's healthy, that is.
