Bucks News, Trade Ideas, Transactions - Nwora in protocols

[flaco]

How about Maxi Kleber as a trade target? He's an elit 3pt shooter for his size (6'10"). He also has an impressive BLK% of 4.4. In comparison, Capela's BLK% is 4.5. That said, he's more of a PF rather than a C.

My hope is Kevin Love gets bought out and he opts to sign for the Bucks over the Lakers. Not sure whether this is a realistic scenario.

Bamba seems like a realistic target. Most Magic fans are ready to move on from him. DDV+filler might be enough to get the job done.

Why would Cleveland by him out? They're shooting for the POs and he's contributing.

The playoff eligibility waiver deadline is on March 1st. Plenty of things can change till then. In any case, I said it myself that it may not be a realistic scenario. Even if he gets bought out, I'd expect him to team up with LeBron in LA.

Rather offer Hood and a 2nd to Atlanta for Dieng, and if they say they don't want to help a rival, tell OKC to get Dieng from Atlanta, and offer them the same thing with maybe another 2nd.

Nah, I like Muscala as a fit here way better than Dieng.

Dieng is better at protecting the rim, no?

Didn't look like it last season, there's got to be a reason that he only got a handful of minutes on an injured Spurs team that was starting a SF at C.

Alex Len is a take for me

Yes there was, he had an injured shoulder.

I like him, but center is the last thing we need. We need a forward, badly.

Yuta Watanabe is the guy we need. Toronto might be willing to give him up now, he's a RFA after the season, and they have more guys just like him. Really good defender, quick, smart, long, and can shoot the 3.

Semi and a 2nd or 2 or 3 for Watababe.

Nurse LOVES that guy, but Masai might be keen on the picks.

Hood + Nwora + two 2nds to OKC for Muscala

Well, that job interview just got a little more awkward.

"Mr. Muscala, tell us how you think you did at rim protection as your team notched the biggest loss in NBA history."

[Ron Swanson]

I get that Muscala is cheap and probably available, but he isn't any better of a rim-protector than Bobby. Kleber is the guy that would be the perfect fit. You just have to hope that Dallas continues to struggle and looks to make a shakeup at the deadline.

[emunney]

Let's all take a moment to appreciate how miserable it would be around here if we hadn't won the championship.

[randy84]

So if Brook's back is bad and he is out for the year, can the Bucks get a disabled player exception and when does that need to be applied for?

[Ruzious]

Alex Len is a take for me

He's a very poor man's Jonas Val. I think he belongs in the NBA - but barely. Same with RLo and the elder Wagner brother.

[WRau1]

What about Meyers Leonard? I remember seeing that he's doing/has done a ton of work to make amends w/ the Jewish community. A couple of organizations even praised some of that work. I remember him having pretty good range and being fairly athletic, not sure about the defense.

[flaco]

Not sure whether the Mavs would be willing to do a 3-for-1 trade. We might have to expand the trade to include a 3rd team.

Kidd wants win-now players. He hates young guys.

He's definitely a smarter defender than Bobby and makes up for his lack of athleticism by playing the angles. He is similar to Lopez in that regard, prior to coming to MIL. Except he can move his feet better.

[KidA24]

Geez this was a kick in the penis.

[Ron Swanson]

Actually like the idea of Len and didn't know he was on such an affordable contract. Showed some shooting ability the last few seasons as well. That's the buy-low play right there.

[randy84]

What happened to Luke Kornet? I thought he could hit some 3's but his stats don't look very good.

What happened to Luke Kornet? I thought he could hit some 3's but his stats don't look very good.

I think guys like Luke have to be at their absolute peak to be playable in the NBA and given the level of athleticism (as I recall), that is probably not a long peak.

[ShootingtheJ]

The Bucks just had back to back tough games against teams that don't have centers. The Nets and Warriors aren't playing centers.

We desperately need to add a forward for the playoffs, and center is the most unnecessary position on the roster.
