Moreland has some potential, but he is a year away from being a year away. He seriously needs to put on some weight as well.

Monroe's just not that good and hasn't developed much over the last two seasons. Whatever team gives him a max or near max contract will end up regretting it.

Moreland clearly isn't ready to start or even be the #2 PF. I just want him to show some progress during the season and at some point (maybe mid-season) take 10-12 MPG from JT.

Makes me cringe when i see people suggest we play Cousins at 4.

Please no. It will be a massive failure.

Cousin is a C.

100% agree. If he is coming into his own as one of the best players at a position, to me it's the definition of not fixing something that ain't broke. Additionally I don't think he's athletic enough, in transition, in the half court to check that position full time

I dont know if anyone watched that Mil-NYK game last night? The Bucks had some injuries and they gave Michael Eric (along with Mayo and Wolters) some extended run. It resulted in a incredible run with really nice basketball, good ball movement and great defense (that last one tends to happen when you take Henson out of a game).

Basically the Bucks have 15 guys under contract and they won't be able to bring back Michael Eric, a 26 year old rookie from Temple University, who has spend the last two seasons in the D-League.

I know there's a whole lot of PF's on the roster already (Landry, Thompson, Evans), but if I could pick a nice PF with very good defense which could play (should play) next to Cousins, Michael Eric would be my pick. You could probably sign him for free.

Are all 15 spots on your roster already guaranteed? Eric would be a perfect stop-gap untill Moreland is ready to step up in 2 seasons (or when you use your draft pick to address a need next year);).
