Wouldn't you say we pretty much already have him on our roster ? John Henson.


I propose Wright is a more polished player:

Much better FT shooter
Much more agressive consistently
Much better hands
Much better roll action

Because you really wanted Chandler or Brook Lopez? Otherwise, I don't think anything has really changed other than the fact that we've had to wait half a day.


I'm also assuming Monroe doesn't sign and don't want to pay Used Tampon Head Lopez. A motivated Henson is a damn good player.

I will be so baffled if Phoenix manages to haul in LMA, too.

How are GS in panic mode exactly ? They're maxing out Green either way. They don't really have much incentives either.


I don't know for sure that they are, but I'm sure they wanna get out from under the tax, so maybe they'd roll with Ezeli on the cheap. I think Bogut and Lee are both decent short term options.

David "Dubi" Pick just tweeted that LMA is off the table for Phoenix. Most of his other tweets are propping up Joe Alexander in the Israeli league though so who knows.

it's a super long shot and I think he ends up in San Antonio. But got to give them credit for trying to make something happen. Chandler was an expensive gamble to try and lure him but also an expensive vet leader for a team with a lot of guys with major maturity issues (led league in t's last year).

Cory Joseph lining up to be a huge steal IMO.

Just finished our meeting with RoLo. Wonder how it went. I hope Hammond didn't Kobe it.

Wonder if he brings his John Hammonds EOTY trophy to the meetings.

Maybe he brings up how much money he's paid players to not play basketball for the Bucks as well.

Come on NY give Monroe that deal so he can opt out and get $25 million a year to be an average player.

Or we could send Giannis and Jabari to the D-League for a year so we can get in the lottery and get our center.

Even if true, can he not hurt floor spacing, aid the offense overall, hold his ground, or not tempt us to make a terrible decision regarding him because of his contract year? The only way the Bucks should even think of holding onto Henson and going that route is if they still have plans to sell high at the deadline like with Knight. And that's not discussing how to sensibly use all this cap space to our significant benefit instead of letting it go to waste.

What hurt floor spacing is trading for a PG that can't shot outside of 5 feet. I don't expect a center to be a "floor spacer".

At this point the Bucks and Lopez are at last call, the lights just came on and it's hit them that they are on the bottom rung of the bar skank ladder. P*ssy is p*ssy I suppose. Just hope we double bag it.
