Bucks News, Trade Ideas, Transactions - PatBev: AJJ has "bright future"

[bucksfansince88]

Bucks in - Ingram, Kessler

Pelicans in - Brook, Bobby, Beauchamp

Jazz in - Pat C, Bucks 2031 1st

Saves the Bucks almost 9m, Ingram becomes the best 4th option I can think of and Kessler can try and develop into a starter. Bucks have no draft assets anymore, we need Walker Kesslers and 19yr old draft picks now so that during these next down years in the draft, they’ll be in their primes when our draft capital comes back around. I’d take the chance here.

Pelicans get their 2 bigs to “win now”

Jazz get the Bucks 1st for eating the difference between Pat and Kesslers contract. Swapping these 2 is where the Bucks save enough money to get under the 2nd apron.

A closing 4 in the playoffs of Dame Khris BI and Giannis is an absolute demon squad. I’d put us as title favorites if Horst was able to pull that off.

Maybe Ingram isn’t someone that can up his game in the playoffs to be a #1 scoring option but the 4th option with Dame Giannis and Khris? Come on now, ppl are mad about that? That’s crazy.

im dropping our guys off at the Airport for this deal, get it done Horst!

Clippers don't have much in the way of draft assets to move for Ingram, but with PG bolting, this is the way to do them a solid while extracting value:

MIL Out: Bobby
MIL In: Terance Mann

LAC Out: Mann, Norm Powell, Bones Hyland, 2030 1st (Top-4 protected)
LAC In: Ingram

NOP Out: Ingram
NOP In: Powell, Bobby, Hyland, 2030 LAC 1st

not bad, but id rather just go after Ingram!

Would absolutely do this. Plus saving $9m opens the TPMLE and we could add Gary Trent or Lonnie Walker to the squad as well.

The Bucks having a plan at the 5 certainly would make this more enticing.

I’m wondering whether the Pelicans just trade for Kessler though?

They’ve got picks to burn. Is Kessler good enough to help win now and in the future if flanked by Missi and (recently signed) Daniel Theis?

Otherwise if New Orleans prefers Brook I’d guess Bobby goes to another team. If it’s true they like Huerter (not sure I buy it) the Kings could be looped in for that.

Khris is one of the best playoff performers, if it's up to me I'm keeping Giannis, Khris and Dame. Everyone else is expendable for the right offer

Horst is sitting at home right now sleeping off a hangover and ignoring all his incoming phone calls.

Not seeing it with Kessler, personally

You could argue he held his own vs Edey. 5 blocks is impressive, I think there’s still potential there.

[Ron Swanson]

Ask yourself why a rebuilding team like Utah would already be fine moving on from Kessler, and you'll have your answer. He'll have a long career as a situational 15-20 minute defensive big, but that's all he'll ever be. Stop giving up assets for those kind of guys.

Kessler is great. Would love to have him on the Bucks.
