If Sarr Bub and Coulibaly turn into something, Washington is on the right track in the next few years. They’ll be big game hunting next off season.

Jordan Poole the asset is crazy work.

Teams like New Orleans and Sacramento for example, make so many roster tweaks all the time and still always the same results. Some front offices in this league are just so genuinely clueless.

A few in here too. I don't get it. We all watched the same team and spent all season saying we need to get younger, more athletic, defensive players with a motor. Then some of the same people are like "trade for Jordan Poole."

Kuzma is set to make 23 mil this year then 20.9 mil next.
Poole is set to make 31.8 mil this year then 34 mil next.

With the apron rules, there would be no reason to take Poole over Kuzma. We would have no flexibility to make any other moves and be completely stuck with this roster.

Things are finally starting to move.

New Orleans is just kind of hitting random buttons, i dont get it. Poole and Murray. Strange.

We won't be swapping picks next year.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

No. We will have a better record than New Orleans, hence no swap.

Ohhhh.. are you saying they brought in the tank commander?

If they go full rebuild, we could actually have Giannis sit out the 2nd half of the season with some kind of injury and get a lottery pick.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
