Woj: Malcolm Brogdon S&T to Pacers for Picks (NO TPE)

[Buck Dweller]

Even if you grant the speculation about him wanting out, they should've held out for a better return. Squandering one of our better assets for a probable mid-late first, a second and a TPE is not cutting it with Giannis' contract ending soon.

[RiotPunch]

What are the chances we actually did this to create and use a giant TPE versus doing it for picks and saving LED's sweet, precious dough?

I'll reserve my judgement until I see how (if) that TPE is used, but initial reaction is sadness.

Herb Kohl pays deep into the tax for this team

Everyone who hammered me for saying last year was our year can please stfu

It's the added insight this board provides relative to other sites that brings me back every season.

Well you certainly aren't framing it as deduction and theory.

There were talks about a starter who "wasn't apart of the culture" the other four starters are all signed to longterm contracts now. I think it's pretty easy to deduce who the rumored malcontent was.

So he wants out of Milwaukee but is happy to go play in Indiana?

I think it's about the Bucks not wanting to pay him/pay the tax for better or worse.

I think he didn't care about where he went. As long as it wasn't MKE.

I'd agree, but I don't think the Bucks were as inclined to match a huge offer when he already isn't happy.

Where should we kiss your ring?

Have you taken a look at the state of the other contenders in the East next season?

Trade for a SG with the TPE and sign Hill. We're fine.

If all of this about Malcolm not wanting to be here is true and that we don’t want a malcontent because they don’t play well and impact chemistry, explain his last season, his extremely impressive 50/40/90 and our 60 win team?

Simple. It's called a contract season. The man was looking to get paid. Wanting to get paid is far more important in a contract year than worrying about the city you are in. You are going to play hard no matter what. After? He has no reason to play hard if he is stuck in a city he absolutely does want to be in.,

Maybe its time to face that fact that Wisconsin isn't a dream place for a guy with the aspirations he more than likely has, and yes that would mean Indiana is a better choice if that was one of the options he had.

Was playing hard so he could earn a contract that he could use to force his way out of MKE, he was definitely stat hunting, I saw him give up the ball 5+ time as quarters ended cause he didn’t want to launch a half quart shot, and never gave it up on the break...

I like this move for the Bucks. Kind of shocked by the reaction here.

You mean a team of Tony Snell, John Henson, Greg Monroe, and Brandon Jennings.

[Matches Malone]

We got worse in the immediate future. I'm trying hard as hell to reserve judgement until I see what/if we do anything with those newly acquired picks and trade exception.

[FlagsFlyForever]

That's an overpay for Brogdon who is always injured. I think this was a savvy move by the Bucks. Brogdon is the one guy we can afford to let go and we even got assets for him.

**** you and your well thought out rational response! You can go to hell!!!!!!

[Ill-yasova]

I think this was a good move. Plenty of teams lose their restricted free agent for nothing. Plus I wouldn’t want to pay him that much.

[rilamann]

Hope the Bucks are smarter than they look right now.

They look pretty smart to me.
