Bucks News, Transactions, Trade Ideas: KPJ confirmed ankle sprain after MRI

[ShootingtheJ]

The Kings are presently starting Isaac Jones at the 4. Time for Kuzma to become a King.

[ShootingtheJ]

When G League action starts, I hope we're aggressive adding the best talent there, and set Amir Coffey free. He just doesn't do anything. Our deep bench needs help. Anyone have a favorite that's still looking for a job?

[Ron Swanson]

The Rockets using FVV's dead salary and assets to trade for Derrick White seems inevitable if they continue to look this lost without a lead play-maker. That's where we can jump in and throw Kuzma's contract to Boston and get Eason plus another contract (Hauser probably).

FVV has a player option for next year. Why would Boston do this? And then take on Kuzma? I wish, but unfortunately not realistic

It's plenty realistic if Boston wants more assets, tank for a top pick, and to get completely out of the tax. Makes a ton of sense with how disastrous their start has been.

Doc tried Sears when we didn’t have guards. Why not try Thanasis behind Prince at sf, for at least short periods of time? Green or Trent at sf is probably not going to work well, especially for defense.

Keep it simple, Eason for Cole Anthony.

If they'll do that then absolutely. I think the Rockets are gonna want a legitimate above-average starter upgrade though. White fits that bill.

[bucksfansince88]

Who can we trade Bobby for, his style just doesn’t fit and Jericho needs to see real minutes. He might be the best defender on the team. Would love to find a way to get Eason here without sacrificing our guard depth.

Bobby's style fits perfectly, he just needs to play to his usual standards. He's been a slow starter for years, but finishes strong, which is more important.

Sims is a defensive dynamo, but we can't score when he's on the floor. He'll always be a 3rd string center.

Bobby slows down the pace, but you’re right we might need his scoring from the mid post come playoff time when things inevitably slow down.

[CharityStripe34]

I'm not opposed to trading Bobby for the right 3 wing, though I'd wait to see if he actually suddenly sucks because i think he'll eventually warm up a bit.

[BigO]

BP had 8 rebounds in 22 minutes last night. The Bucks need his rebounding. If you can get a better stretch forward who can rebound, go for it.

[jschligs]

I'm holding firm for another few weeks before I'd make any rash trades. Unless it's shipping Kuzma out.

[BigO]

I was a big Tari Eason guy in his college days. I saw him in person and was intrigued with his length, defense and ability to stretch the floor.

But his numbers in his first 3 plus years are underwhelming. Can someone make the case for him? I know he's been injured.

[yb90]

Would GSW do Bobby Portis for Moody and Post? Would the Bucks? Moody is probably the least expensive wing I can thing of who could be available. If they are as high on Will Richard as they seem they could make Moody available.

[Wonka]

What we need to do regarding Bobby is to permanently move him to the 4 and Jericho to the bench 5 so he can make up for Bobby’s lack of defensive ability.

Why not just do what we've always done, and rotate him with Giannis and the center? We don't need to give playing time to a 4th big.

[rilamann]

We're not even a full week into the season so I won't get too ahead of myself.

But it looks Giannis and Wemby might be the 2 front runners for MVP this season.
