Why would picks in the 20s increase in value?

Someone ahead of us will be smart enough to take Bronny. This class is as weak as I can remember and you either get Lebron on the cheap eventually or you hold him ransom to whatever team wants Lebron or whomever Lebron wants to be with.

We usually have 2 sets of family members on the team. We are the nepotism team so it would make sense to get Bronny and get his dad. (khris becomes 6th man of the year off the bench, subbing in for LeBron).


Or we hold Bronny hostage and ask for a king's ransom from the Lakers in return.

The NBA draft should be tomorrow. Men are soft.

Tankathon has the Bucks at 22 and 34.

Crazy they finished with the same record as the Pels. The pick swap really didn’t help/hurt either of them.

The coin flip is going to be an actual 'heads I win, tails you lose' situation.

Just since Tankathon happens to put Edey in our draft slot, does that guy have any chance to be a starter in todays NBA? Can I day dream him into developing a corner 3 and being a poor man's younger BroLo?

Any chance some team would bite on a #22 and #34 for a lightly protected 2025 1st?

We'd probably have better luck getting an overlooked young player.

I'd use 34 to try and move up for either Jared McCain or Devin Carter, but the organization isn't doing its job if they aren't packaging both those picks for the best available starting caliber wing/guard.

I don’t know. On one hand we are too old, not much in the pipeline and complaining about being slow and old.

I think if it doesn’t work out this year we need to reset and two decent picks in this draft to develop might be a jump start to that rebuild (around Dame and Giannis, everyone else maybe should be traded or gone)

At some point we need to get younger and we have very limited assets. Not sure I like sending out what we have for a piece, but depends who and how old that would be

Eason. Could probably come up with some more names.

I like these targets. Both of these guys are such natural ballplayers.

You can get younger by trading those picks. I just don't see many, if any immediate impact guys in this class and this team needs a 28-29 year old starting caliber wing more than it needs two scratch off tickets in the late-1st early 2nd that have like a 20% chance of ever being good. I love doing draft homework even with the weaker classes, but I'm just being realistic.

Is that Chomche kid still going to be in this draft? He seems like he'd be a nice developmental big to pair with Giannis.

We could always just accept being the oldest team in the league. Use pick #34 on Bronny, trade Middleton/Lopez for Lebron/Hayes.

He’s on an inflated contract, but a guy like Cam Johnson is someone I have my eye on if we’re also throwing some salary around. If the Bucks were ever to go to more Giannis at the 5 looks (I’d still want to do traditional center lineups, but the ability to play both styles is ideal), Cam is the ideal 4 in my opinion. He’s signed at ~21 mill per the next 3 years (27-30 yrs old). The Bucks could theoretically do Brook and their late first for him.

BTW, didn't like Ron Holland as a prospective #1 overall pick, but if his stock has taken a Michael Porter-like hit and we could go up and get him, that'd be very good.

His scouting report reads like Andre Jackson Jr., part deux.
