What happened to Semi Ojeleye? He's now 3/33 (.090) in his last 6 games including 2/18 from three (.111).

Ojeleye the last two seasons:
2P%: .477
3P%: .372

This season:
2P%: .231
3P%: .216

Lowe is the only person I’ve heard give any details on Brook and he was the first one to announce this. He has a solid relationship with someone in the front office.

Semi regression would carry us to the repeat. Or, he'll have a terrible year. No way of knowing which will happen, but he's not a 21% caliber 3 point shooter.

If only he knew a lasry we would then know everything.

He's most likely plugged in to a few agents.

Or he and Woj have sources in the league office and when they reached out to the Bucks, the Bucks gave their typical answer of "he might play, he might not".

He has enough other issues (too short, can’t jump, awful decision making), that it’s not even worth it to see if he can get back to his past two seasons averages. Especially now that they can go ten deep without cracking into the Semi, Hood, TA, Nwora clown car.

The source for all of these guys is Alex Lasry. He loves texting the top 5-7 NBA media guys. They even talked about it on their pods over the years. Makes him feel important

The part that I always enjoyed was how thin a skin Lasry had to criticism. Remember one time Windhorst doubted the Bucks on some issue, and Lasry went at him with both barrels and got him to back down. Windy even mentioned it on his pod.

The only guy who I think really stuck to their opinions was Nate Duncan, and it pushed Nate the opposite direction, where his opinions on the Bucks are too negative, partly because he developed a personal dislike of the guy.

The Bucks still need to make another addition, they desperately need a long, quick, defensive forward to defend KD. It almost got them beat last year, and no need to risk it again.

Semi and 2- 2nds for Yuta Watanabe.

We are stacked in the perimeter Jrue, Hill, Donte, Allen, Wes all good defenders. Then we have Middleton and Pat at SF

we are a bit thin in the frontcourt with only Giannis, Bobby, Cousins (if Brook comes back things look good). Cousins will help in the regular season but his defense will get exposed against good teams.

If we somehow could package some of Semi, Hood, Ojeley, Nwora and get an athletic PF that can hit a 3 we will be set.

Nwora should be that guy to the extent he's needed right now. He drives me nuts but between him, Semi, and Hood, Nwora's the most likely to have a positive impact. I'd of course trade any/all of them for a quality player with some salary certainty.

I also think we should be careful about dogmatism. Nwaba or Vanderbilt would be great even though they can't shoot, because they're unselfish and tough as nails, and would make us even more ferocious defensively. Remember also that better defense and better athletes means better capitalization on more transition opportunities.

Agree. Who is that PF, though?

I see Bulls about to pick up Ilyasova.

I'm not giving Nate Duncan any excuses for being an obnoxious ass hole.

Correct. He's simply discrediting himself. Too bad, he used to be good. Now he's irrelevant. Picked the absolute wrong time to turn on the Bucks.

Was Otto Porter. What's Marvin up to?

Team is good now.

Jrue/Hill/Donte
Allen/Donte/Hill/Jrue
Mids/Donte/Jrue/Pat/Wes/Nwora
Giannis/Bobby/Pat/Wes/Mids/Nwora
Bobby/Giannis/Cousins (Brook)

Depending on if they like them, there’s a few scenarios that work based around Donte/Nwora/Hood or Semi to Portland for Covington and filler.

Is Covington even good. Don't think I'd trade Donte for such a inconsequential player
