Bucks News, Transactions, Trade Ideas - Horst Given Extension

[Bucksmaniac]

Just start KPJ, Green, Trent, Giannis and Brook. That's the best 5. Green/Trent can handle Nesmith.. probably won't work against the Knicks

An argument can be made that Bobby should replace Brook here

Bobby has been best as a 6th man, he should get more minutes than Brook in a lot of matchups though.

[Ron Swanson]

There will be moments where we can't play either Brook or Bobby and need to go small with Giannis at Center. Will Doc actually do it?

Not betting on it.

Eh, our only other worthwhile players are all 6'4", because Horst sucks, so it's not really worth it.

I checked out on this team in a big way until the trades, just too frustrating. As much as I love Dame, this team seems like we fit together better without him. So I’m all in on where can we ship him to restock the assets and get a Herb Jones/Eason type of piece this off season.

KPJ and Giannis chemistry >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dame and Giannis chemistry

[midranger]

Ware, Jovic, and expirings for Dame?

Pretty lousy return, but a couple players who “could” breakout.

[Plossum]

They’ve only played 42 mins together but the Giannis, Bobby, GTJ, Green and Porter lineup has a +51 net rating. 144 offensive rating, 93 defensive rating. Matches the eye test. This is our best lineup.

Giannis, 3 juniors and an AJ.

[German Athens]

Since Dame went out Giannis has put up 31/11/9 with almost a 4:1 assist to turnover ratio on 66% ts and a 13.4 net rating.

I like Ware, but we need wings

[Istanbullus]

So who are our preferred starters and closers and how would you distribute playoff minutes against Indy?

one might be tempted to conclude that we would be better off with KPJ at the 1 and trading Dame and the 31 1st for an athletic, two way wing, but i dont even know who you get for that package.

based on Doc's most recent comments, they seem to have a very good reason to not start KPJ right now. I would venture to guess that it has something to do with math.

You want to accomplish the goals of A. having him close games with Giannis, and B. having him on the court when Giannis is off as much as possible. You would love to have them playing together a ton but the fact is that a Bucks offense with both of those guys on the bench is really sad.

Giannis and KPJ 40+ Everyone else just ride whoever is playing well / not getting torched..

Agree. The starting lineup is ridiculous, but they're not going to completely revamp it this late. Just close with the right group, and continue to cut Kuzma's minutes.

Yeah, and Rollins is really good with Giannis. I'd like to see more of Rollins and KPJ together.

Only good thing about the ESPN being in town on Sunday is we will get a Dame update. Doubtful there will be a concrete update, but would figure for both a Shams update and Doc spewing to the ESPN crew update.

Giannis is everything Jokic is offensively, but also dominates on the defensive end instead of being a major target.

[soxperry]

Ticket prices are still high for Sunday even though no one good will play. I think Bucks would be wise to take note. People love a noon game.
