I didn't watch, but Livingston & Umude are poison to that team. Any time they come around as the NBA guys they just use the opportunity to dominate the ball & chuck. The team runs so much better thru Akinjo, & secondarily AJ Johnson.

That had been the biggest difference in their turnaround from abomination to decent g-league club. The additions of Terence Davis & further integration of Ellenson helped as well.

Too much time & emotional investment wasted here. I'd have been fine if he was moved for some very good role player that helped us. But he was sweetener in a trade we shouldn't have made. Makes it feel all for naught right now.

AJ Johnson was a dice roll w/ 1 of the sides being a core player. If that's conceded in the trade too, this will go down as one of the worst deals in franchise history, up there w/ Ray Allen for Gary Payton & Vazquez for OG/Powell.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
