Bucks News, Transactions, Trade Ideas - Moose Returns

New Orleans should do us another solid and send us Jaxson Hayes. Looks like he's strung together some nice games this season.

22 and 11 with 12 misdemeanors, impressive!

That's pretty **** incredible, considering we only have a fraction of these other teams' revenue.

Owners not cheap in my book, they must be feeling it in their back pocket.

if im horst im calling new orleans every day to poach their version of Tobias Harris.

Isn't Nwora our version of Tobes?

I think we're better off looking for an athletic shot blocker who can move and switch, even if he doesn't shoot 3's well. Just stand in the corner even if nobody's guarding him and go for offensive rebounds, that's it. But we need to give Giannis his defensive partner back to lock down the paint again, to me that's the key that makes us favourites again. And that's why I'm not too allergic on the Boucher idea, although we can probably find the same thing cheaper.

My recurring post that I hope John Hammond views DDV, Nwora and maybe that 2nd as enough for Bamba.

That just solves so many problems this season, and gives them insurance in the summer on Brooks health and Bobby's free agency.

What would be the best possible future 1st we can even legally trade at this point? I know our draft cupboard is bare but I’m just curious. Do we have any enticing picks where we could actually land someone like Bamba without hoping a GM thinks DDV or Nwora are positive assets?

I know financially things have to match but sometimes a 1st round pick is the prize in the trade and the salary fillers can theoretically be anyone so I’m just wondering what that might look like for us…. Probably not good id imagine.

We have picks in 22, 24, 26 and 28 and have traded 23, 25 and 27. Our 24 and 26 are tied up with conditional swaps with New Orleans in the Jrue deal. You can't trade past 2028 and you can't trade 1st rounder in consecutive years. We can only trade a first if we receive a first in return that maintains the current pick structure (this is from Nehm's article).

Could they do something like trade all 4 of those picks for someone else's 23, 25, and 27 picks? Of course, it would have to be a quality team or we'd be getting back much higher picks.

Wow, Bucks have a higher payroll than the big market Lakers. Bucks have come a long way since the Herb Kohl era.

Cashing on flexibility feels GOOD.

Never thought I'd see Moose in 2022, but he averaged 12.4 points, 13.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.2 blocks per 36 in stints with the Wolves and Wizards this year. Played 22 minutes a game in his stint with the Wolves.

He's so lean now he's barely recognizable.

I'd rather take a quick look at him than blow our trade assets on a back up center who won't play in the playoffs when we really need a forward.

And 1's for MOOSE!

Maybe unrelated, but does this signal Brooks check up went poorly?

If Brook is out for the year, his salary slot will make the trade deadline far more interesting.

Worth a shot. Since signing his second 10 day, Boogie was out 3 games with an injury and was back last night but got a DNP.

Moose won't be available tonight I assume so at most he'll get 2 games to show something before the trade deadline.

We had the press conference for signing Moose and Khris' first extension the same day

Id guess that he has been with the team due a few days, and they waited until today to execute the contract to stretch the most out of the 10 days. Doesn't mean he'll be in the rotation tonight, but I'd think he'll be active.

[MickeyDavis]

Good point. No sense starting the clock until the first game day

[JayMKE]

I can't help but like it when we go full circle and bring guys back, Moose is one of those guys that deserves a ring for being part of the journey. Biggest open market FA signing in Bucks history!

[VooDoo7]

Khris' face says it all. He just became a very rich man, and even that couldn't make him smile because of the company sitting next to him.

I highly doubt they are related. His checkup is in LA right? If they're coordinating that around when the team is in LA then he hasn't even had it yet.
