Horst finally did it. He actually drafted (not technically but still counts) and developed a player (and didn't give him away for nothing).

Hopefully this removes any pressure, he's a starter and can just let his looks come to him and ball.

Anchors things for our other guards if they want to stay on. I could live with a few $11 million starters.

Glad Green is signed, but saying this is a great deal is way overstating it.

I was probably the first on this board to tout Green when he first came to the Bucks. I saw him a ton in AAU before he had a great run in college.

But I am disappointed that he still refuses or can't put the ball on the court. The other night against OKC he couldn't get his shot off at all and the one time he did try and dribble he got it taken away,

I get the 3 and D thing, but he will need to expand his game a little more offensively to merit any more that he just got. It's strange because he was an excellent ball handler in college and he has lost all confidence in it or the Bucks have told him to just be one dimensional.

AJ Green is a great find and a solid player but he’s still hands down the weakest link in the starting lineup and it’s really not even close. He’s the defensive target for every opposing team and if his shot isn’t falling he’s rendered pretty useless overall besides some pesky defense he usually gets himself into foul trouble over. This could prove to be a good signing but I’m with you, this is far from any bright shining moment.

A Kuzma trade to get an upgrade from AJ Green in the starting lineup and to get AJ Green back coming off the bench is what this team needs more than anything imo.

If you’re ranking all 60 starting wings in the association (SG/SF), does AJ Green crack your top 50?

Who cares how Dairy ranks, he's a complementary piece for Giannis, that's what matters. If he's struggling you bring in Rollins

on the floor i liked him. like any of us...decisions like this you probably, really for sure....need to spend a minute with the player in street clothes. perhaps its as simple as that. ajax, maybe smith id imagine...in street clothes....youd be rooting harder for them. thats probably all it comes down to

It'll just be an exhibit 10 deal to get him extra money with the Herd. I think you know that, just letting others know. I'd expect a Kira Lewis signing right after this for the same reason.

He's targeted be cause he defends the opposition best player, and he still graded really well. He holds opponents to a very low FG%.

Green is extremely useful even if he's not scoring, because of the spacing he forces. It's why the Bucks are awesome when he's on the floor.

Is Kira Lewis still fast? Dude was so fast, man. I wanted the Bucks to draft him.
