Somebody is going to catch one.

Arggh! The thing that's limiting our offense is a too-slow pace and relying on ISO plays.

When Jabari gets back, he is another guy that I think will actually have some gravity on the court and moves well off the ball, something a lot of our other guys do not do. Hopefully with Prunty though we will be really focusing hard on off ball movement over the all star break, but it will be nice to have a guy that not only does it naturally but effectively coming back into the mix.

I'd do Parker/Delly/Henson for Whiteside easily.

Doubt Miami would agree to take those guys back.

I don't think we need another guy who needs the ball in his hands. Certainly not a centre at his price.

Bucks need to do everything they can to sign Jabari to the Embiid style contract. It doesn’t need to have nearly as many protections as Embiids does, but just that could potentially avoid the albatross that his contract would be if (please god no) he injures his knee again.

That’s a big part of it, but the bench is pretty bad too. Parker playing means you can stagger more good players in with the bench guys.

Good read! You need stars to compete for a championship. And Middleton / Bledsoe are not good enough to be 2nd banana. I think its a must that they sign Parker and try to unload most of the bad contracts this offseason.

between Middleton, Bledsoe and Parker, Parker makes his team better the LEAST. And it's not even close, imo.

One guy was 20/21 and the other two are in their mid 20's.

Embiid's contract isn't really that team friendly.

This is a bad take. Especially Bledsoe's name being brought up. He hasn't been a positive on any team since his days as a bench player for the Clippers. And yes, I don't consider his tenure here as a positive other than his first 3 weeks here

Cool, congrats to those guys. Give me the guy that helps this team most in the next 3-5 years and that is a healthy Jabari and it’s not even close.

After watching that video, they aren't trading Parker. Nor should they, they could have a legitimate number two for Giannis. I think Parker is severely underrated here and i drool at the chance to see a lineup with Giannis, Parker, Middleton and Bledsoe.

Pachinko_ · Post #1416 » by **Pachinko_** » Thu Feb 1, 2018 3:35 am

An average coach with a core of Giannis, healthy Parker, Middleton, Bledsoe, Brogdon and an average NBA C is definitely an ECF level team. That's the hope.

Assuming Jabari can find his feet by PO time and Prunty is not a mirage, all we need to do is find a C in the next 7 days.

Thats from a basketball perspective. From a cap and contracts perspective f*** me if I know what we should do.

Good thing we have a salary cap expert at the helm to sort the rest of that out then!

For the record...I LOVE Jabari and as long as he is on the Bucks I’ll be rooting for him hard. I was legit depressed the night he tore his ACL and I’m beyond pumped to watch him on Friday night. To know what he has been through, you can’t help but pull for the guy and want the very best for him.

Just because I think the best move is to trade him (if we don’t believe we can get him to sign a team friendly deal) doesn’t mean I underrate him as a player. A healthy Jabari is a stud. His ability to stay on the court is the concern. Not his play on the court.

Let's face it, no one knows how this team will do once Parker is integrated into the rotation. And it's going to take awhile. So hopefully the panic button will be muted should we not win every game and Parker doesn't average 20+ right off the bat.

FlagsFlyForever · Post #1420 » by **FlagsFlyForever** » Thu Feb 1, 2018 4:30 am

Jabari isn't going to truly be back until next season. But he was putting up historical numbers at 21 years old. He was on track to be a star but I would be shocked if he's a major difference maker this season. The thing to look for this season is if he still has his explosiveness and athleticism.
