Bucks sign Bobby Portis

Upgrade to RoLo? Better shooter and more versatile?

Or more about someone needing to punch Mirotic again?

I was holding out hope we'd get Nance as our 3rd big. Don't really know much about Portis besides that he seems to be a less talented Christian Wood

Career .360 from 3 at pretty decent volume. Hopefully he can get back to his Wizards year (.403)

Both bigs I'd think. Need one more of course.

Hate Portis...locker room just got worse!

Bogdan is now officially dead.

Gotta say one thing he's no Cheick Diallo though.

Of course it's a player option, do people think all these free agents especially early on just sign team options on two year deals?

Read on Twitter

He had a team option with NYk for year 2. He tried his best in NY but he got the green light to chuck and outside of his occasional big games(Probably vs CHI his former side) would force up shots and completely stagnanted the 2nd team offense whenever he was on the floor. A step slow defensively and he got way too emotional on the floor and tried to make it an obligation to do bullyball when given the ball down low to. Horrible fit in NYK, hopefully the lesser role in MIL is more up his alley. He had some lousy stretches in NY shooting wise. Didn't see the shot at all whatsoever.

Hey we signed the guy I wanted us to draft in 2015 lol. Nice (depending on $)

Finally made amends for the 2015 draft.

He's better than RoLo and will be playable in the playoffs. More of the Marvin Williams replacement in my eyes.

He's a dick. Bucks could probably use that.

Horst wasn’t sure, but a glowing recommendation by Mirotic’s face pushed this deal forward.

Portis I would think yes. Pat would likely be early bird.

Not to mention i've seen more players declining their second-year option than ever with the way the market goes up every season.

I always wanted to see what Portis would develop into under a NBA caliber coaching staff.

He gets his first chance this year. Hope he runs with it.

LUKE23 · Post #37 » by **LUKE23** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 5:13 pm

Portis is 25 and offensively talented. Happy to get that with the money we had left, even though I agree he has some character issues.

raferfenix · Post #38 » by **raferfenix** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 5:14 pm

It’s a big opportunity for Portis.

Giannis and BroLo will make his life easy, and Bud will let him let it fly to his heart’s desire.

Was hoping for Portis over Vaughn years ago.

Dreams do come true?

The Bucks needed a thug, that’s for sure...but if you used the MLE on Connaughton and Portis.....Lordy Lordy Lordy.
