I mean we should be asking for a Jrue contract extension first and ask Giannis later .
This is a total mess . If Giannis signs , imagine Jrue deciding not to sign an extension.
Why on Earth hasn't Jrue already signed up ? He is waiting for Giannis decision ? Are we serious ?
Is Jrue the "King" to sit last at the dinner table or Giannis ?
Since the Bucks went ALL IN on Jrue , at least sign him an extension.
And while we **** the table , now the "serious" orgs will trade their superstars and we will just watch the tweets

Jrue can't officially sign an extension until February, whereas Giannis has to before December 21, otherwise he has to wait until next off-season.

Hopefully we have a verbal commitment from both Jrue and Giannis at this point, but who knows.

If Jrue doesn't sign in Feb. do we trade him mid season?

We can't extend Jrue until February, calm Fotis ;)


How did Adams extend with New Orleans then?

I'm just sad that the idea of a superstar signing with Milwaukee is such a joke.

Jrue finally lands in a great situation for the first time in his career, a true contender with a players coach and top notch trainers and facilities. I have zero concerns of him leaving.

None of this is true. If Jrue is better than Beal, that would have increased the chances they could have gotten Brad. But Jrue's not actually better than Beal. Beal is a triple threat and can lock you down when he wants to. Beal was on Giannis' list, but Jrue wasn't. So that may have compelled Giannis to put pen to paper.


Its all true. Jrue was on the list. Jrue has more total value because Beal doesn't defend.


Stop pretending you know who was and wasn't on Giannis' list.



The Greek article listed Jrue.

He only has 1 year left on his current contract. Jrue has next year followed by an option year. He'll almost certainly opt out, but technically you can't extend with 2 potential guaranteed years left on your contract. At least I think that's the difference.
Wut we've got here is... faaailure... to communakate.

So the truth comes out about the real reason why Horst targeted Jrue - he has a player's option, Horst's favorite thing.

thinking about the guys we lost in the off season. Does anyone have anymore insight as to why we lost matthews at such a cheap price? Do you think pat c is more valuable? I think he's the one veteran beside hill, i'd like to still have.

Wes probably just thought he had a better chance at winning a championship with the Lakers.

That's how i'm leaning, but I thought I saw someone post that we offered 1mil less. disappointing either way, he could be valuable off the bench.

Wes and the Lakers probably made overtures (totally not tampering bro) once he thought that we had zeroed in on Bogdan. I mean, he probably thought like most of us that the deal was essentially done, and he sought out a bigger role elsewhere on another contender. Can't blame him.

That would be a major head scratcher after seeing Pat's deal.

I'm going to choose to believe that's not what happened. Trying to choose a positive thought surrounding the Bucks this WK.

I think we all don’t like the Pat contract but hopefully with him working out with Giannis the past 2 years, the bucks have to feel like he will progress and become a better baller

Pat getting a lot of flak lately but he's still a pretty useful player. We probably needed to get more athletic on the perimeter and a Pat/Craig wing duo with Jrue/Donte at the guards gives you plenty of options.

I like Wes, but his production can be easillyyy replaced. I'm not too hung up on that.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
