Bucks News, Trade Ideas, Transactions - Rollins Back, 3/$12 million

[Bernman]

Im just not personally excited by a one dimensional player. Its cool and all, its needed, it just doesn't excite me to the point where i would be mashing f5 all day over his contract.

The dimension is "basketball"

Its like a cult lol

I quit, im done.

You're projecting. Jim O reported the market for him around the league is up to 12m. And the data proves he's a positive player. 2nd in net rating each of last 2 seasons, tops in the playoffs.

[Prez]

43% from 3 on volume, solid defender, and AJ/Giannis two man lineup has a +15 net rating in over 750 minutes. Of all 2 man lineups with that many minutes or more it’s 9th out of almost 400 lineups in the league, the only ones better are a bunch of OKC 2 man lineups and a couple Boston ones

Yeah give me all the one dimensional players pls

[ReasonablySober]

I'm loving the disingenuous overreactions from the hack media members. You can feel the vitriol and its all because they thought the Bucks were screwed. They weren't ready for the creativity and gamesmanship shown by Horst. I also love how Dame was left for dead by all the same blowhards and now they think dumping him torpedoed the franchise. The hypocrisy is rampant. And we all know the hypocrisy is the worst part (Norm reference for those who appreciate GOATs).

The lack of respect hurts the second most

I just want to see more of KPJ, Trent, Green and Giannis together. Incredibly tough to guard and those 3 guards are all plucky on defense. Like someone said yesterday on paper we could have a top 5 defense here again.

[GoldenAntlers]

It's a legit organized agenda against the Bucks at this point. It used to be "conspiracy hat" stuff and its not even that now. It's not something that they're trying to hide anymore. It's just out in the open.

It's to the point where fans of other teams are catching on.

[DingleJerry]

Green is exactly the type of guy needed around Giannis to make other teams pay for having to triple team him. Throw in that he's more than competent on D and yea he's very important. HE's the type of guy that can easily win you a playoff game or two per series due to a heater at the right time.

Sure he's not much of a ballhandler but if he was then he's a max player. The obsession of the league is 3 and D right? Well, that's him to a T and he's not just good at 3s he's elite.

[Shaffty]

Compare the takes of DeAndre Ayton and Myles Turner over the next week. The agenda they have against us is astounding

Genuinely disturbing how little they care about journalistic integrity.

[th87]

Chip on Turner's shoulder is also growing.

[tsamo]

So appaarently the Kings want to move Monk, so we might put ourselves in there.
Maybe go after RJ Barrett.

Please don't let us start the season with Kuzma in the team...

[bbbarnett47]

If liking AJ Green means I'm in a cult then yeah I'm in a cult. Can't believe there is someone on here that "doesn't understand" the love for him - if you truly think that is the case, literally quit watching basketball.

The guy gives 200% effort, will never complain, shoots +40% from 3, is a more than capable defender - if that doesn't excite you, I'm not sure what would.

I said this before but these are the literal exact types of players you want around Giannis: knows and plays their role extremely well and gets the **** out of the way when 34 has the ball, he will find you if you're open.

The fact that people on here actually considers themselves a fan of this team and can't see that is beyond asinine.

(Turner also fits this mold, I love the signing)

We need to get back to Bud ball and these types of players fit around Giannis like a glove. Put the ball in his hands and good things will happen.

Journalist?!

[Ron Swanson]

The Ayton stuff is hilarious. I would’ve been completely fine with him on the room exception but he really got the Lakers desperate enough to give him his full salary over two years lol.

[Licensed to Il]

The lineup of Turner, Giannis, Green, Trent, Porter Jr is going to be our best

[ShootingtheJ]

Just get Ryan Rollins back here and focus on getting Kuzma out and we're good

Agree, but we do need to add something useful in the Kuzma deal, and that player becomes our tradable salary next offseason if we try to pull off a 3- 1st trade.

Yeahhhh but if that's not possible, get him off the team for an expiring and his minutes can get absorbed by Taurean Prince and the hopefully much improved and filled out Tyler Smith.

Contracts aside, Kuzma pre 2025 is significantly better than Prince. Not my kind of player, but neither is Prince.

Either way, I doubt Kuzma is back, but dealing him for an expiring leaves is with no tradable salary, but still over the cap. That's not a good place to be. We'll also get better value back by taking on a multi year deal.

[Ron Swanson]

Way too much casual fan/media talk about Turner’s shooting in the Finals (like his main value isn’t as a rim-protector/lob guy), but we also might be guilty of not talking enough about how he really wasn’t in the Pacers closing lineup throughout that series.

I mentioned Monk yesterday when I saw it too. His contract aligns with Kuzma too. I think I remember some reviews on him this year is that he was forced too play too much PG and wasn't great at it. But, in MKE even if he is the "PG" its not near as much of a real PG as he likely had to be there. From what I recall he's at least a competent ballhandler to be a backup or "PG" for 6-8 mins a game (or if Porter flames out) and could be a good fit with Giannis. Key thing is probably can he competently guard PGs? Still, I'm sure he's better than Dame at it. Seems the perfect type of guy to target for Kuzma imo, I think they'd want someone who is more a 1/2 rather than 2/3 since you already have Green/Trent and others in that mold. With the note that I assume a legit clear good starter isn't available as a 2/3 type for a Kuzma based package.

I think we should take note that he was able to compensate on defense against Chet & co. which would normally be the concern, so he's not going to be Brook from the last few years.

And the bad shooting is an anomaly. He's been phenomenal at it in the playoffs as of recent.

Yes, and our culture is much better too. Ayton will now be playing with 2 of the laziest defenders in the game in Luka and late career Lebron.

Their team is a potential disaster.
