Bucks News, Transactions, Trade Ideas - Gallo deciding between Bucks and Clippers

[Baddy Chuck]

Idk I actually really like Kuzma. He’s basically a way better version of Bobby.

He is?

You guys seriously judging Ajax already? Cray cray

We're bad enough on defense.

You guys seriously judging Ajax already? Cray cray

There's three very different levels:
Guys who think AJJ is borderline untradable and will be a key contributor (would be upset if we gave him up in a Murray trade and lament why we couldn't throw in rolo instead even if not realistic)
Like AJJ but realize he's an old rookie with clear flaws. If you need to put him in a trade for rotational piece, you get it done
Think AJJ sucks and would throw him in.


I think majority are in the middle. I think people on either side are crazy

I love me some AJs but Murray is hitting game winners like Dame so I'd part with them for that level of guy.

It's interesting that the Bucks are being mentioned with so many names in the press. The FO has been good at keeping a lid on these things in the past.

Maybe it's not coming from our FO, potentially all the teams we are talking to.

Yeah, definitely coming from elsewhere, IMO. We're talking to everyone it seems, so it was bound to happen.

[JayMKE]

Murray such a no brainer, big skill and value upgrade

[Chad34]

if the bucks are legit linked to those names, there is a team who is willing to pay an absurd price for bobby

Tell me more, tell me more

I know most of the bucks fandom doesnt really believe the sh.. that comes off of twitter(X) but theres alot on wiggins/ saric mentioned on there as well as murray n hunter.Remember X got milwaukee as mystery team right with dame.....just saying

[yb90]

Count me as one who doesn't think Murray fits with Dame and Giannis. He needs the ball to be effective.

Are any of the tweets from reputable sources or just standard Twitter garbage?

Would this board be happy with wiggins/ saric for portis plus

Im not sure how i would know if they were reputable frank madden is one windhorst was another one.Some of those tweets when dame was on the trading block were saying watch out for the bucks type of thing so they got that right

He is?

No. But I do think he's better, obviously far more dynamic facing up, better laterally. Makes more sense for us.

Giannis and Dame don't "fit" together either, neither did Dame and McCollum so I don't see any reason why it couldn't work. Simply its about stealing value and upgrading talent whenever possible, Bucks core is too old unathletic overpaid and with far fewer sands in the hourglass than we all hoped for. Murray is a former all star PG in his prime, locked up on a fair contract, its such a no brainer. This team needs TALENT not just some rando defensive swingman, the team isn't that close and needs to focus on the future. I don't think Murray lessens our chances this year at all and he definitely is better going forward. Its just such a no brainer, its crazy people will talk themselves into Grant Williams who isn't even a starter in this league or all time low IQ no motor guys like Andrew Wiggins over a legitimate allstar player like Murray.

[Fotis St]

I am lowering my expectations and announce that I am fine getting Prez and Sam Merrill back.

Just searched were my boy Thon Maker is.

Great. 2 more guys who can't play defense.

The sport is called basketball , not defenseball ... regardless

Brogdon > Beasley
Merrill > Payne (maybe similar)
Thon > Rolo

Wiggins and Saric for Portis, Pat, and Beau works. If you can somehow get a pick too, to grab Drummond or Kris Dunn even better but the 27 2nd rd pick should be enough. Maybe Wiggins stock isn't that bad.

Wiggins is still young and can go back to being the 3rd/4th option. His release is much faster than Portis so he can shot a lot of the 3s Bobby turns down or drive to the basket quickly and finish. Defensively, he fills a huge void providing length, athleticism, and strength to give Giannis a partner. If Giannis can turn it on in the playoffs like he did against Durant all you need is a Wiggins to help him with the wings in the East

If only he liked playing basketball.

Murray would be best followed by Wiggins. Not particularly excited by anyone else, as less excited i was last year with Jae for whom Horst gave 5 second rounders, and has been totally unimpressive 2 years in a row.
