2019 Bucks Off Season Thread - Trades, Transactions - Korver Signs

[FrieAaron]

Chris Paul anybody?

I'd rather have someone shove a toothpick up my urethra.

Again?

Well, he had to do it the first time to be able to honestly say whether he'd rather have it done.

[leroyjw10]

Yeah, I think it would cripple this franchise.

This franchise was crippled the day we resigned Middleton

You do realize the salary cap rises every year and we’ve witnessed multiple times this off season large deals being dealt? Not to mention is a good player

Not saying it’s completely apples to apples, but many used that exact rationale after Snell resigned.

I would like to have D'Angelo Russell over Bledsoe since Russell is ten times the playoff shooter. Would likely need a third team, Ersan's salary, and the required wait until players are eligible to be traded.

The same Russell that shot 35% from the field and 32% from three?

Yes, it's better than Bledsoe's 23% from three Honestly thought he put up better numbers based on the games I watched. However, high volume and 37% for threes in the regular season to build off would work well with Giannis. And he's only 23.

[GBPackers47]

if this team trades for 34 year old Chris Paul, with like $120 million left on this contract, then Giannis is as good as gone. It's beyond short-sighted and the only reason to break this crew up is if Giannis has given an indication he's leaving and this is a last-ditch effort to go for it all.

And which defensive team did DLo finish on?

So you wouldn't trade for him if it leads to a 2020 title? Cause we know Giannis isn't very clutch and you need another guy that is

Had to wait for Velazquez to tell me it’s officially official before I believed it.

What are you guys smoking? Bledsoe was our second best player last year (really wasn’t close), should’ve been an All-Star, and is first team All Defense and is on one of the bets contracts in the NBA.

...and you want to throw him away for the corpse of Kevin Love?

For real. Bledsoe had a bad ECF, but the defense starts with him. I have no trust in Kevin Love's ability to be healthy in the playoffs.

Yeah, people are just still overreacting to his Toronto series and his playoff performances. He was bad. BUT, had an amazing season otherwise. We need an even better Bled this upcoming season. Hope we get it.

[Daver]

I know im in the minority here seeing i dont see much blame on anyone but midds n bleds for being MIA but im sure someone will correct me if im wrong giannis didnt have what you call a great ECFs either.I know stats can sometimes be deceiving but pretty much the big 3 werent very good.
Bleds gets alot of crap on here but i agree he had a great reg season thought much more consistent than our damn near max guy at only 17 million per

[Giannisland34]

This years ECFs reminded me of the sixers ECF and early MJ playoff series. First the Bucks weren’t getting any help with the refs and calls and second the raptors packed the paint with good defenders plus being able to hack without getting fouls called and them adding up to foul trouble late in the game. So that took away from both Bled and Giannis offensive games. So both of them need to learn from this experience work on their outside shots, as well as some mid range (floater or pull up jumper) that would be huge. I don’t have an excuse for Mids other then he was guarding KL which was having a playoffs for the ages, as was KD before getting hurt. Which took a bunch of energy and effort. Teams will have a hard time pulling this off in the future as it takes a certain group of skills from a group of players and swallowed whistles. But it should be prepared for. As well as a back plan for coach Bud if it does.

[Daver]

So let me understand this the bucks lose in 6 cause they shoot like **** and cant hit their FTs they do any 1 of the 2 better they win the series i think,if bleds midds giannis and mirotic dont go a combines14-52 in game 3 that game doesnt go overtime and the refs are never brought up bucks threw up enough bricks to build a small village and its the refs non calls

[Giannisland34]

I think the refs would still be brought up as they had during the season in wins or Boston series even. If the refs make the normal and fair calls through out the series. The extra free throws and limiting some of the raptors best players and defenders in crunch time would be a huge shift and would have allowed the Bucks to overcome all the shooting woes. Plus if knowing you can be hacked and not get the call it can eventually change what you might do to try to score and the extra punishment that your body must take. Which could even throw of shooting.

People seem to latch onto their last impression and act as if it's the whole and then treated as fact. Bledsoe has taken the brunt of it on this board but theres also comments sprinkled through out acting like Toronto came up with a defense Giannis hadnt seen all year when the truth is damn near every one on this team **** the bed.

With Bledsoe however it seems, (at least to me), that his issues in the ECF come down mostly to his nerves getting the best of him as the lights got brighter. That should get better with the added PO expierence.

Really though it's a little mind boggling that so many people are acting like hes on some kind of horrible contract after this offseason. That deal of his is a freaking bargain
