Re: NOP/MIL
Hey, if "Nawlins pushes for a playoff spot" why would they give up a player that you say for Milwaukee "can help them win games"? Wouldn't New Orleans keep him, then?
Otherwise, it just doesn't make much sense. NO already has Queen, Missi, and Jordan, while also possibly keeping Koloko. Sims doesn't do anything, and is likely a player they have to waive, as they already have 14 guaranteed contracts (and 3 camp tryouts), and would be adding 2 more here. As for Kuzma, NO has Zion, Trey, Herb, Queens, Bey, and Matkovic. How much is Kuzma getting used? So, it comes down to KPJ for Poole, which either would likely come off the bench behind Trey, and NO has a bunch of other guards.
But for Milwaukee, woof. Trading for Poole when they already have Herro, Trent, Levert, Green, and Burries? With JJJ, Dieng, Rollins, and Jaku playing adjacent? Not really a real need there, either.

Nope. Where would Poole even play with our glut of guards, this makes no sense for MKE.

You can't be serious? This is the type of trade that gets GMs fired and never hired again as a GM. Why on God's green earth would Milwaukee agree to this especially when Porter and Poole washes each other out. The Bucks don't need more guards. Do your research

Re: NOP/MIL
Bucks have zero interest or need for Poole. KPJ is a better player than Poole on his in imo and the Bucks have a glut of guards. What logic is Kuzma and Sims being thrown in? Totally off logic and valuation, cannot be fixed. New Orleans needs to send value not other way around. Just not a workable idea at all.
