I squandered an asset? Then Hammond taught me well.

He’s getting traded and the pushback allows the teams receiving him to cut him and save money. What teams would want to cut payroll?

If it was about trading him to a team who viewed him as a prospect, they'd just pick it up.

He's played 124 games with 51 starts. Summer League isn't going to make a difference either way.

How in the world is playing zero effort defense, getting beat down the floor by Brook Lopez, walking the ball up on offense, and refusing to throw lobs to Giannis "giving it his all"?
The only thing he brought consistently was selfishness and pouting. All that for $48 million a year.
What a colossal loser. Good bye and good riddance. The team will continue to be better without him.

Sure, but we could be unsure if the trade gets finalized. It could also be that we have a specific player in mind that we'd like to add, like Beal, but we'll keep Ajax if we dont land him.
Did we hear of any other players with their guarantee pushed back? Keon Ellis?
If he gets significantly injured isn't the deal then guaranteed?Bernman wrote:The simplest explanation is they want to see him at summer league before committing to a yr after next even.
If it was about delaying a trade to a team who viewed him as a prospect, they'd just pick it up. His salary's not valuable for a deal.

I would assume that's why they waived Livingston and then brought him back on an SL deal.

I don't believe that to be true since there are still cap holds for unused roster spots and those are typically higher than the deal a second rounder would be on.Shaffty wrote:WiscoKing13 wrote:If he gets significantly injured isn't the deal then guaranteed?Bernman wrote:The simplest explanation is they want to see him at summer league before committing to a yr after next even.

they cut livingston so they didn't have to release Rollins' caphold

They both fulfill our last remaining needs for a shot creator/ closer in Monk and a big wing that is a lights out shooter/ perimeter defender with length in Murray. The 2031 picks and 2032 swap would be ideal. At the end of the day you have to consider AJ Green as well if needed considering we would now have a complete roster.

Sam Vecenie on a recent episode of the Game Theory Podcast, where he suggests the Bucks try to make a play for Malik Monk, sending Kyle Kuzma to Sacramento in return.
"If you're the Kings, your leverage here is to just go to the Warriors and say, 'Look, you're 100 percent right; we do want Jonathan Kuminga, but if you're not willing to do Devin Carter, Malik Monk, and something else, then we're just going to do a thing where we decide, oh, no, we're just going to flip Malik Monk for Kyle Kuzma, and that will be our answer.' If you're the Milwaukee Bucks, you do that in a heartbeat...
The idea is that they kind of want to win now. They need a Kyle Kuzma type of player. Right, who's like a bigger wing. They actually do genuinely need a bigger wing. And they have had interest in him prior, in the prior front office. And a lot of the people who still worked in that prior front office are still there."
He's coming off the most productive season of his career, having averaged 17.2 points, 5.6 assists, and 3.8 rebounds per game. Monk is a bucket-getter from any spot on the floor, and his passing has grown tremendously from when he first came into the league. He could be a starter or reserve who gives the Milwaukee Bucks a massive offensive spark whenever he's on the basketball court.
