Best thing to happen in 2020. Easily

Vaccine that will save millions of lives?

Some interesting takeaways from the article:
- Owners met with Giannis and Horst "stopped by"... in case you have any question of who is making the front office decisions
-"Core players such as... Pat Connaughton"
- Horst made the Jrue trade with no commitment from Giannis

Yikes. Giannis may be staying but this franchise still has a long way to go.

Ujiri is a long shot, but they really need someone competent and respected overseeing things. I don’t hate Horst, but it’s hard to imagine him going toe to toe with someone like Pat Riley. The billionaires seemed to learn a lesson with Kidd, so hopefully they can learn another.

So we hope that Jrue will extend in the summer. We will have Giannis, Middleton, Jrue as our big 3 and they are going to be paid max/supermax. The rest of the roster will consist of very cheap guys. I don't want to be pessimistic but I am afraid our big 3 will not be big 3 enough and the rest of the roster will be very pedestrian to lead us to a championship. Anyway this is a day of celebration

Name the teams that would have a better trio than Giannis, Middleton and Jrue.

fist we don't play 3 on 3, we play 5 against 5 and usually some people are subbed as well. I don't want to get into which trios are better but when for example you have Lebron and AD you throw another one and you get a better trio

That Athletic article curiously neglected to mention the new blowjob bell for Mallory that Wes pulled out as the ace in the hole to close the deal.

Pat’s agent really knew his value. Especially after the Bucks botched the first contract offer.

Agreed.

the onIy downside to this is now we have to taIk about wtf is going on the first two preseason games and whether bud is reaIIy the probIem if some of our greatest issues on the court keep repeating themseIves and perhaps getting worse if not better. it feIt good knowing that if giannis Ieft i wouIdnt have to worry about the state of the team and now im worried again

We’re fine now.

Instead of our franchise being on the clock, Bud is now on the clock. If he doesn’t get it done this year, they’ll find another coach.

New users should have to take a course on the Frank Brickowski and Anthony Avent years.

Mayday!

I am old enough to remember when The Bucks dealt Avent to The Magic.

after losing bogdan we had to keep pat. i feel like it would have been akin to dumping thansis if we cheaped out and i think other teams were offering him that range

Lowry's is too old as well. We had to plan the team at the time with a 3-4 year horizon as a minimum, for Giannis to see.

Lowry or CP3 would be a great stopgap while looking for a longer-term solution though. Plus you have to remember that they'd still have most of those picks to jump on some future opportunity that comes along. Keeping those picks to make opportunistic deals is part of planning for the future. Getting good value on trades is intrinsically part of planning for the future.

That said, until proven otherwise, I'm just going to tell myself that they had to make the Jrue trade to get Giannis to extend because it helps keep me sane.

This will make it slightly more difficult for the Bucks to trade Giannis. I say slightly because salaries can't exceed 35% of the cap even with bonuses like trade kickers so the only way this is significant is if there's a huge unexpected spike in the cap.

Entire state can finally unclench their buttholes.

We really can't.

I don't see Lasry ever allowing us to have a top tier GM. Horst is the perfect competent guy for him.

I'm just glad I don't have to come up with more stupid song lyrics. (7 coaches coaching, was next, by the way)

As optimistic as some posters were about Giannis signing the max, it was touch and go based on the article. Giannis himself did not know what he was going to do until recently. This wasn’t a done deal for weeks and or months - I think we should all be glad it turned out the way it did. It was no gimme.

Giannis didn't just decide today that he was signing. It was all but done for a few weeks now. Few things had to get ironed out. And that's all I'm saying on the subject.

Just glad everything is official finally and we can all move on. It can't be overstated how much this means to this franchise and the city of MKE. So pumped over this!

Great deal!! Received Anthony Cook, a 1st (Eric Mobley) and a 2nd (Rashard Griffith)!!!!!!!!!!
