I'm resting my season on Dame and Giannis being healthy and playing to their potential. If that happens we can 100% win the Finals and having KPJ play well is just icing on the cake. Naturally we need every other player to play well, but KPJ is not a big concern for me when it comes to winning the Finals. You'll always need 1-3 non-stars stepping up but we have Brook, Bobby, Kuz, Trent, Prince, Green, KPJ, to try and fill that.

KPJ should absolutely not start. His value is as a facilitator/scorer with the 2nd unit. Let him loose.

Wasn't a fan of bringing him in for obvious non- basketball concerns, but he's got speed/vision/shot-creation in spades.

Temperature check... How would we feel about:

Dame + MKE '31 1st for Ja Morant + Konchar?

Saying your not a fan of KPJ because of off court things and then proposing a trade for JA Morant in the very next post is certainly something

Konchar is basically the Grizzlies Pat. Great locker room and practice guy but has two more years on his deal and we would be shopping him AND Pat all summer and next year at the deadline for younger guys with more potential. I realize he is salary filler but we don’t need two guys that lottery teams with cap space want a first round pick for each guy to eat their contract.

KPJ, Trent, Dairy, and Andre minutes and fit with Kuzma starting is going to be super interesting. Its a nice problem to have though, wish we had it at a few more positions. Hope they put Tyler Smith’s locker next to Kuzma’s.

No thanks. Ja's numbers have fallen off a cliff now that he's not attacking the rim as much and isn't as much of a focal point of the offense. His playstyle is basically the same as Giannis only when he does it he gets hurt all the time.

Career 32% 3p on half the attempts Dame takes. He's about as bad as fit pg next to Giannis as possible.

Even if he started you could stagger many of Dame's minutes with him so he's in when Dame is out. Start and close with who gives us the best chances

Hell yes for me.

I don't like to odds of Ja staying in Milwaukee long term. I would still do it though. Ja is one of the most dominant players of our day. Would make the regular season fun to watch again... Could be wild with him and giannis running the floor together.

Even though I think the nba is slightly changing to where I think that a lower seed team can get far and even win it all, I still think that the championship level teams are good enough to coast through the season and still finish with a high seed.

The bucks don’t seem like a team that’s coasting or going through the motions. They just seem like a mediocre team.

The last 2 seasons Middleton has played 78 games, Ja has played 40. Since he's been in the league Ja has played 289 games, during the same time Middleton has played 309. My point is the way Ja plays he's always going to miss a ton of games. I love the guy but I'd pass.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

If Ja were a better defender I'd say it'd be worth the gamble, but nah. Dude has put in zero work to make himself a better shooter and get in the weight room. The former might not be fixable, but the latter is always a red flag for me. Still don't think he gets it.

The gang that hit up Portis's house and many other athletes were arrested because the dopes couldn't resist sharing selfies.

At the same time, the agent identified a series of blunders that helped law enforcers identify the culprits and, crucially, connect them directly to many of the stolen items. The mistakes included a series of selfies that the alleged burglars, according to the complaint, apparently shared with others as if to advertise their exploits. The problem was, they uploaded the photos to a secure Apple iCloud account that the FBI was able to access with a search warrant.

In one particularly lucrative burglary, apparently the one at Portis' home, gang members broke open a safe "containing several watches, chains, personal items, jewelry, and cash. Also stolen was a Louis Vuitton suitcase and designer bags." The total value of the items exceeded $1.48 million, the complaint says, identifying the victim only as "Athlete 4."
