I think it is amazing that this board was completely keyed into the fact that Butler, Neal and Ridnour were LOSING us games early in the year. Yet the rest of Bucks fandom didn't seem to realize this. They just looked at the fact they were "gritty vets" and assumed they were superior players to our young guys.

But Caron is a Two Time All Star & NBA Champion and is from Racine.

What has Middleton ever done in this league?!?!?

Only reason we kept him is because he is related to Kate.

Adrien's DRB% since joining the team is 39.2. His TRB% is 27.7. The first would be Rodman's best-ever season mark, the second would be Rodman's second-best season mark.

As I said, leave it to Herb and Hammond to finally make a good trade just when it was actually most important we not change the team dynamic.

Just pondering that a great nickname for Giannis should be "The Franchise" He really is one of the only reasons to pay attention the bucks this year. Were going to end up with the 4th worst record. Just hoping the lottery is in our favor. Lakers probably get 1st pick.

Should be a good game tonight regardless.

We are getting the 3rd pick.

Hypothesis:

Exum is our guy, and our FO thinks he'll be there at 4 or 5, and don't want to take him first or second and risk the backlash. Given that, winning a few more games wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, if one had that view.

It makes my blood boil just thinking how absolutely f'ing stupid those two are. Unbelievable.

I think "the rest of Bucks fandom" were on the same page as RealGM. Unfortunately, again, it was the front office salivating over washed up vets.

I complain, complain, complain about keeping the rotations tight. I wonder what this team looks like in a consistent basis with the best players playing the most minutes. We never ever find out because of kohls insistence on acquiring garbage vets. Again, I wouldn't mind watching a yearly 8th seed chase with shrewd deadline moves if it coincided with the development if our young players. But that never happens.

This sad cycle needs to be broken. Of course not NOW when we desperately need a home run in the draft. Ugh.

.

I don't even like Henson as a prospect much anymore, but I know he needs 35 minutes a game from here on out.

Just very frustrating

I hope Henson goes OFF tonight. Sac's pick is a wonderful target in a Henson trade.
