I hate Grayson Allen but that is great value for us. Horst!

I guess it's the 2nds from Indy. That makes it Allen, #54 and #60 for Merrill and #31. Not bad at all!

My absolute hatred of Grayson Allen as a Badger fan is going to make this tough. :lol:

They're also the same age, so.

You'll love him when he and Portis are getting under our opponents skin.

Thought Allen was outstanding in the playoffs…….he’s Merrill with athleticism

The biggest questions I have is, how much longer will Brook be playable before he hits a wall, will Middleton play at the level he has been, otherwise, we should be pretty solid, but it likely will take a few dominoes falling our way again to be able to repeat. Should be a fun season at least.

Everyone already hated us in the league and now we add Grayson.

That's why your trade out of 31 if there are options you still like on the board. The extra picks always come in handy.

From C+ straight to a A- off season grade with just one move.

Badger fans need to get over this crap…..you can’t cheer for Brad Davison and bitch about Grayson Allen.

I echo the Scott Williams concerns and add a shade of Kurt Thomas/Jerry Stackhouse. Some guys are just more valuable to the culture and clubhouse than they are on the court.

Sure, because we have so many lazy, unmotivated guys we need an overweight player to motivate them?

I think the players we have deserve more respect than this.

If you didn't think his mental attitude helped this team and helped give us an identity, I think you are mistaken. Unless you are somehow referring to Anthony Mason, which would actually be kind of a clever insert.

Greatest move for PaulPressey since Bucks signed Robin Lopez

Have always hated Grayson, but maybe we'll learn to like him on our squad

Solid and much needed depth move

3. Holiday..........$32,431,333
4. Lopez............$13,302,325

11. Ojeleye........$1,669,178
12. Nwora..........$1,517,981

Giannis should be mad... Only 20 mil in the tax... That's disrespectful... He should demand Thanasis getting paid another 10 mil... Bucks have his Bird rights...

What would have been the tax if we payed PJ Tucker?

Me too, but there is a great deal of hypocrisy out there

Anyone think the FO is ruthless/ballsy enough to NOT bring back Thanasis. Like surely Thanasis has to be back right?

I hope not. I'd like our roster to consist of real NBA talent.
