We really gonna play Wes as a small-ball 5

Big guards with no jumpshot are always going to be a liability.

Aron Baynes is still a free agent as far as I can tell.

Wes looked awful anytime I saw him playing for LA last year. Not sure I get this one.

The way Wes dissed the Bucks when he left, he doesn't deserve to go along for this ride! I hope we're only signing him to cut him.

Nope, Wes is so bad.

I get that he's your guy but he's been straddling the line between towel-waver and permanent G-league demotion ever since the win streak started back against LA. Fair or not, Bud isn't gonna wait for him to get his **** together, if he ever does.

What if a guy defended Hill, saying he still had it, but says Mathews is super cooked? That's where I'm at

I'd still wait and see how he does here.

He's already been here, and he wasn't good then.

He was a plus defender while here.

Well, that's probably because he spent all summer in a hospital and his career is likely over due to the neck injury he got in the Olympics.

I honestly thought he might retire after how he looked last year for the Lakers. Sadly, the options on the team right now are awful. Hood's career might be over because of the Achilles injury he suffered, and Nwora is clueless on how to be a productive role player. There is basically Pat and no one.

Hill looked more cooked last season than Wes did. Hill isn't quite the guy he was for us in 2019, but he has been solid this season. I expect Wes to be solid as well, he improves our depth. I love that we brought him back. I always liked Wes and thought he was underrated when he was here.

Ayt · Post #1050 » by **Ayt** » Fri Dec 3, 2021 11:04 pm

I have no idea where people got the idea that Hill was cooked. That guy could probably still be playing in the NBA at 40 if he avoids a major injury.

going way back I see. I just assumed they were trying to bring back all the failed Bucks players from our last few seasons. I'm expecting Bonzie Colson, Sterling Brown and Maker on the next bus here.

I mean Sterling Brown would be great lol

TroyD92 · Post #1052 » by **TroyD92** » Fri Dec 3, 2021 11:05 pm

oh he's been bad this year. Didn't notice. Know he was pretty good last year.

So if the bucks did a favour to Giannis and his agent with GK, does this mean Giannis and his agent are now done with the Bucks?
Or maybe it wasnt a favour afterall

Lol. I think the favor was giving the guy 500k and a chance. Don't think Giannis views him like he does his brother lol

Read on Twitter

Hopefully he can still defend a little and hit an occasional three. It's worth a shot imo. Giannis makes so many average players succeed.

Dude got to sit around and collect $460k while pretending to be an NBA player for the defending champs. I'd say that's a pretty solid "favor".

Of course he doesnt, just like khris doesnt view jrue like his brother if he now has one lol, just saying signing same nationality is never a favor in basketball... Thanasis though is another story but he makes his brother better or happier at least

goddammit Bucks, you signed the wrong Mathews.

The new rules where they let defenders mug ballhandlers should help Wes out.

The entire Georgios Kalaitzakis era was weird and completely unnecessary. No idea why they bothered with the whole charade.
