Anyone worried about Wiggin's explosiveness causing him to have more knee injuries and have them earlier? I feel like Parker's game is the most fluid out of the top four lessening the possibilities of injuries, thus a better chance of a successful long-term career.

Are you actually concerned that he could be too explosive? That's ridiculous. It's amazing that someone would try such a positive into a potential negative...

If ATL offered Horford for #2 what would u guys say?

I like Horford, don't get me wrong. But, he's already 28. He's coming off an IR injury. We're waaaaay too early in the Rebuild to think about trading youth and upside for established veteran All Stars.

That's definitely a valid concern. I also worry, with his crazy hops, that he's more likely to smash his head on the bottom of the backboard, causing serious concussions. That alone drops him to #6 on my big board.

There was a ton of hope in 2007 by Milwaukee fans that the Bucks would pick Horford; but the lottery didn't work out that way.

The Bucks need a complete overhaul and the #2 pick is critical to the overhaul, so no thanks on the proposed trade.

Bucks #2 pick would only be dealt for either #1 (Cleveland) or #3 (Philly).

Too much pain incurred in obtaining it, and potential with that #2 pick to trade it for anything else.

Fair enough. Maybe add #15 in there somehow...

Horford just isn't worth that type of pick. He's not good enough a player.

Still no - If he was 24, I would think about it, but by the time we are something, he will be 30-32 years old with a long injury history

If the bucks love Exum and parker. Why not move back to number 4, see what else you can acquire. Then take which ever one is left.

I agree. But on the other hand, he's way better than the last member of his family who played for the Bucks.

^^^ the pick that had Del Harris literally dancing on the table

Hate to rain on your parade, but there is nothing Atlanta (or almost any team) could offer that I would be okay giving up this pick for.

Kind of what I expected from reading recaps of that game. Smart gave him trouble but other than that looked decent (nice blow bys against Payton/Sulaimon). Not a huge sample since he tweaked his ankle and AUS was getting blown out so they rested him the 2nd half.

Had this ready for ya



Can't remember a guard prospect being as much of a sure thing defensively as Smart this year.

Nice to see Exum leave Payton in his dust. It was only a couple plays, but Exum's speed with the ball (particularly his first step), is going to be elite.

10 days and counting. I'm so excited I've had morning wood since May 22nd and it hasn't gone away yet

Would you trade Giannis for any of the top 4?

Say you get your #2 pick and can then swap Giannis for another top 4 prospect.

Would you do it?
