Bucks News, Transactions, Trade Ideas - Sign Pete Nance to 2-way

[tedbrogen]

I had to resort to NBATV and ESPN during the crash. It was awful. All they talked about was Butler, the Lakers, and Durant while all sorts of trades were happening. NBATV at least talked a moment about the Hawks and the Cavs.

Part of the league's problem with ratings is probably due to their national coverage only focusing on the stars of yesteryear, who have almost no chance of winning a title again in their careers. They should be promoting Denver, Cleveland, Houston, Memphis, and OKC. Instead, they just keep talking about dudes in their mid 30s.

This along with NFL season being more favorable to fantasy sports, so casuals will watch any game because they have investment in it from someone in their fantasy team. This leads to lots of talking heads discussing every team.

Every video I see, Kuzma looks 10x more switched on on D then I've seen from KM in 8 years.

Before this season, Kuzma generally played pretty hard, even as the Wizards floundered. Certainly still took some poor shots, but somebody had to on that team. Hasn't been as consistent this season with the effort, but the basketball environment reached epic new lows this season too.

Portis/Kuzma/KPJ is just a hilarious collection of offensive-flow-killing chuckers. Not to mention what going from Midds to KPJ does to a locker room.

Horst took a giant **** on us for his final deadline as GM of the Milwaukee Bucks.

I don't believe this at all.. I think km ignored plays and just called for the ball and did what he wanted.. kuzma is nothing like that. Km didn't do anything at all on D. .. that's coach and lockerroom killer stuff... if kuzma even can bend his knees we are way better now

KM was the one that executed the plays, hence all the assists while limiting his turnovers. Kuzma will be really slow on D at SF, but not a huge factor because teams will always attack Dame 1st anyway.

We're back to being a really poor passing team. It's mind boggling they surround Giannis with poor passers year after year

TBF there's only like 4 or 5 good passers in the NBA.

Hopefully he does the fly-by defense like Pat. That's always fun.

I've always thought of getting a t shirt made up with just an image of Patty flying past a shooter, in the air, all out of control, while the shooter just pauses and looks at him.

Either that, or I put this image on a Bucks top

Whoa-Pat played baseball?! I've never heard that.

Truly, I wanted to trade Middleton over the summer for Eason, Brooks & Whitmore and was told by many that we're not trading Middleton for the Rocket's "Trash".

I was actually an enormous homer too thinking that kind of deal would even be considered by Houston.

Man, did we get stuck holding the bag..

Are we really going to ignore that KPJ is a piece of **** and what it says about the franchise that we’re taking him on?

Haslam's specialty is making it feel unethical to root for your favorite team.

At least he isn’t the face of the franchise. At least he could be an innings eater for some of these games where our vets just don’t have it. It’s not like we we gave up anything. In fact we really didn’t give up much of anything and added a second round pick this year while getting out of the second apron.

Keep talking.

Does anyone expect KPJ to get meaningful minutes for us? Over who?

[SupremeHustle]

What kind of numbers does Kuzma have to put up for you to be happy with his production? Would his career averages be enough or does he need to exceed that?

Give me 35% from three, effort, and passable rebounding and defense and I won't hate it.

Don't think they bring him in unless they're planning on playing him. Has a player option that MarJon doesn't, no reason to bring in a guy with a checkered past for a guy who would be a free agent at the end of the season. He's gonna play.

He'll get a crack at those Rollins minutes. Some of those AJax minutes, too. Just a guess.

I'm actually wondering if Sims gets any burn if everyone is healthy.

Funny thing is even though you saw it most of the year, you're still going to be shocked at how much we dont need KM, dont need KM handing the ball, and how much it's been hindering Dame that he even existed

[MiltownMadness]

If Kuzma can be a positive through rebounding and defense while shooting slightly above his career average TS% due to Giannis gravity, I think we will have improved. He needs to prove he was **** around on the Wiz this year or else we just added one of the worst rotation players in the NBA to try and improve the roster, Horst will quickly become a villain if Kuz doesn't turn it around (if he isn't already)

STJ, the more you talk down about our new guys, the more sure I am they will succeed here

17 and 6 is solid as long as the %’s are closer to career highs than career lows.

Most of this board already has their mind made up on kuzma there are no stats that would satisfy the he sucks crowd.Dude could do 22/8/7 be in low 60s in TS% n this board would still rip him a new one for every bad game he had.Like they do dame.

All you midd lovers any of you read the story in the sentinel by bucks beat writer bob wont even try to spell his last nane.Some interesting things in there about midds injuries n some falling out with the coach n team management n even a dew players on his injuries.

This board has been pining for a bu Pg who can handle the rock since dames been here.They got 1 today this guy can handle the ball very well

[WiscoKing13]

I don't think that's the point. Just not the person to bet on. Also this year we are scraping every cent to go out and trade an expiring for this guy.

Can you link the article? I'm not seeing it.

KPJ is solid from the corners and his jump shooting percentage is fine but his catch and shoot has taken a dive. I would think he will get more wide open shots here. If our staff looks at getting him shots from the spots he is good at he will be fine.
