Bogdan is almost exactly one year younger than Middleton

But in Khrash years that's like 4.8 years

Have we sent that bimmer to Vlade for Bogdan yet?
Don't forget to fill the boot with crates of slivovica.

Bogdan is basically a Bazemore level player that turned down a 4/$51.4 mil extension, is anyone interested in giving him more than that?

A college 6th man in his 2nd NBA season who can’t beat out a 39 year doesn’t have an “objectively” higher ceiling than anyone.

Is it possible that Bud is just trying to decide if the geriatrics still have anything left in the tank?

Who knows. I’m going to assume he’s playing the guys he feels give him the best shot to win.

Playing a backcourt of two 33 year olds and a 38 year old so many minutes was kinda weird. I don't know why Bud did it, I hope it was some sort of early testing because I'm pretty sure it's not working very well.

I'll be honest, I don't really like those Bucks. I mean I like them because I'm a JKidd survivor and I appreciate a team that mostly wins, but for what you guys want it to do, finals and rings etc, I just don't think it has enough TBH.

Assumptions are dangerous...

I don't mind Hill, Matthews or Korver playing at all. And while I like Conny, I think he has a lower ceiling than Sterling and Donte. Because of that, I'd prefer Conny's minutes go to either one of them.

You gotta go from C to B level players. Hard to go from C to A. Bogdan would be our 2nd best wing and allow for Middleton to take his many in game vacations. Also a better creator than most of the roster.

What makes it even harder is when you have C players paid like B players, and B players paid like A players. That being said, I have to think that, if a situation presented itself, a grouping of Bledsoe, Indy's 1st, one of our young guards and Ersan's expiring could fetch a nice backcourt upgrade.

Hard to tell who'd that be now, but it seems like there's always some team not meeting expectations that starts looking to sell. I'm keeping my eye on New Orleans and Jrue Holiday.

Korver and Matthews have been fine. You can argue they're playing too many minutes but it's hard to be upset with their production.

A lot of panic here over an early loss in a game that had a weird start time.

Gotta agree. Also, i think someone found John Henson's magic stash of Chipotle and Weed in the lockerroom at half. That would explain the lackluster play. If only they all had a dumb smirk on their face after every f-up too.

Yup and Yup. No need to panace just yet.

We need to stop fouling so much. That's what we need to do. Sure the refs haven't been entirely fair but we can do better.

For me it’s not so much about Korver and Matthews. They’re fine, we known what they are. But if Donte isn’t at least a 20 minute rotation player our ceiling is significantly lowered, as are our trade possibilities.

Also, expressing early observations/concerns doesn’t equal panic. No one’s panicking.

Agree about Donte.

And it Ffels like panic when we're seeing posts about trading for Chris Paul, getting rid of Bledsoe and all sort of other overreactions after two games of basketball. This is the same team that was obliterating teams in the preseason. I think the only thing we can say for certain after two games is that Giannis needs to stop fouling out.

Eric Bledsoe is fair game, he plays damn good in the regular season. The problem is the playoffs. We cant afford that again.

And Bledsoe just missed a point blank layup.....

I'm not even saying it's a bad idea, I'm saying it's a bad idea to begin talking about it after two games. If you can find me a realistic scenario in which we trade Bledsoe and improve our roster, I'm open to hearing it. But talk to me about it after more than two and a half games.
