This would be the first time I was ever in favor of Boogie coming here.

Something like Mike Muscala at the deadline for a 2nd makes sense

I’m guessing Grayson Allen.

Do we know if everyone is vaxxed? I'm a paranoid bucks fan just waiting to hear Giannis isn't vaxxed or something.

Vast majority is a vague enough term that it can mean anything from 60% of the team to everybody but one. Holiday did the PSA and Giannis said he is today. Other than those 2, I wouldn't feel comfortable guessing about anybody else. 10 hours ago I wouldn't have pegged Brady Beal as one of the holdouts, but alas I would've been wrong. Conversely, Rob Pelinka said he expects the Lakers to be fully vaccinated and that's a team with Lebron, Dwight Howard and Kent Bazemore.

We need someone to fill the d bag void now that Tucker is gone.

Pretty certain that Khris & Brook are as well.

He was cut last season, was out of the league for a month, and then signed a 10 day contract. That lead to a full contract, which lead to him being embarrassed briefly in the playoffs, before the Clippers realized there better off just playing all forwards.

He's a bad player now, and the need for a center is pretty much nonexistent now. We're fine.

skbucks1985 · Post #1471 » by **skbucks1985** » Tue Sep 28, 2021 4:03 am

The Phoenix series showed the only role Boogie can have in the league which is as a guy that you can run your offense through for a few minute stretches here and there against teams that don't have a ton of depth in terms of interior defense. There are teams that could really use a guy like that. Fortunately the Bucks are not one of those teams. Bobby can already fill that role, among others, and do it without being a complete liability on the other end.

After he threatened to shoot the mother of his child, I wouldn't ever want him on the team.

Something tells me the core players wouldn't really excuse that BS either.

As a guy you expect no more than 16 minutes a game out of unless Brook or GA are sitting, he's still pretty good. Still rebounds. Still OK defensively. Still OK at 3s. Not a black hole. Only thing is wondering about his physical soundness. And whether he's fine emotionally in a smaller role. He's only going to be 31 in the coming season; he could still have a couple good seasons left in him.
As our 4th big, I'd sign him to a minimum contract.

The thing is, Giannis, Brook and Bobby are all going to sit in some games. Even if they all play 75 games, that's 21 games you need a third big. And more if any of them suffer an injury. So that's what he'd be there for--21-30 games filling in, garbage time in 20 games, and insurance for an injury.

Giannis confirmed that he was vaccinated at media day.

And for all the angst last season about "settling" for the 3 seed it worked out just fine. Of course I'd rather have the #1 seed but these guys minutes need to be managed for awhile. Ramp things up after the ASB.

This.

wer going to have to be ok with Bud going back to his, low minutes, 12 man rotations.
gotta save the big 3 and their legs for the second half of the season.
minutes increase last season, plus jrue and midds with extra olympic duty.
hill, donte, pat, hood, portis, thanasis
plus the others,
is a fantastic bench, capable and trustworthy.
theyr also high effort and energy guys.
im ok with using Thanasis way more during the regular season.
dont even care if he fouls out every time.
just let him wreck havoc.
