This guy wishes it were:

Love the Antetokounmpo family and they’re all wonderful people but an NBA roster spot and guaranteed salary isn’t some charity gift that you hand out to family members. There’s a reason Thanasis hasn’t sniffed an NBA roster in 4 years.

I agree. It would be a pathetic move to sign him. I have a hard time believing they are thinking about it.

Having Avery Bradley to go up against the Celtics in the playoffs would be cool.

Would love to bring in Frank Mason in the Frazier role.

Bradley would be a real nice add to the team...

Hard working, hungry athlete that will defend wings AND if he hits threes you have a steal if not you have a guy you can not pick up his option and I think Giannis appreciates you gave him a look to get NBA film for the other teams.

Other than Middleton five year instead of Brogdon four year, I am pretty excited about how we handled a treacherous off season frankly. Hoping we can strike gold on someone from the Summer League and get a contributing guy for dirt cheap for three years or so.

I’d feel good with Shelvin Mack in the Frazier role. He can step in and play 15-20 competent minutes during an injury stretch.

He's been bad the last couple of years. He'd probably be a good rebounder on our team, but that's faint praise.

Except he’s never hit threes above 25% in his career and has a poor basketball IQ so his defense is almost immediately mitigated. Just say no. Nepotism in anything isn’t good, and it’s worse when there are people who are publicly far superior and more qualified.

Frank Mason is an actively bad player and shooter. This isn’t NBA 2K fellas...

I used to love Bradley's game but he completely fell off since leaving BOS.

Solid rule of thumb: Stay away from secondary players that are seemingly maximizing their skillset under a great coach (ie: it's much more the coach then the player in those situations)

You think coach Bud could get him back to where he was? He's still reasonably young and his former skillset would be perfect here.

Avery Bradley would be a great signing and "fallen off a cliff" is too widely thrown around here.

Ron Swanson · Post #157 » by **Ron Swanson** » Sat Jul 6, 2019 4:50 am

Yeah, people overrated the hell out of Bradley in the past (the good ol' "he can play PG next to Giannis" arguments of yesteryear), but he'd be a pretty solid get at a minimum contract. Problem is that doesn't really solve our wing glut. We still only have two NBA caliber guards that can handle the ball.

Chuck Diesel · Post #158 » by **Chuck Diesel** » Sat Jul 6, 2019 4:53 am

I think we’re all good on backup shooting guards. We have a glut of them, including whoever starts.

Chuck Diesel · Post #159 » by **Chuck Diesel** » Sat Jul 6, 2019 5:05 am

Sacramento likely balks, but I’d make the sweetest offer possible for Bogdanovic. Donte/Wilson/Indy 1st/Leuer’s expiring. Think Bogdan would put us completely over the top and make us damn near impossible to guard.

Bledsoe/Hill
Bogdanovic/Connaughton/Brown
Middleton/Matthews
Giannis/Ersan
Lopez/Lopez.

That’s a filthy squad. Round out the roster with a third veteran PG, Bogdan’s best friend Nikola Kalinic, two developmental slots and another 2-way.

Probably. Hed be a guy to sign at the minimum just so he can repair his value under Bud and maybe fool another team into thinking hes better then he his
