Bucks News, Trade Ideas, Transactions - Beal for Midds discussed last year

[ReasonablySober]

This is actually the first regular season in years that I'm amped for. I think the Bucks play with a chip on their shoulder for being a relative afterthought. I want to see dominance.

I love flying under the radar. Doc will have to factor in not overworking his guys and having everyone ready in April. But you can do everything right and still have an injury happen late in the season. I'm not going to obsess over seeding. Sure the higher the seed the better but just give me 1-6 and a healthy team.

One reason I think the Bucks go hard from the start is they're going to want to know what team they have by the trade deadline. I don't think they allow themselves to take it easy or the mindset that they'll just turn it on for the playoffs. If this is a middling team in the standings in January I would anticipate huge moves with everyone but Giannis on the block.

A full off season to learn DOCs system to modify the O through dame.A Healthy big 3( best big 3 last year) this team will be dominant i think i hope

The **** they went through from the get go and still winning 49 games i think a meddling as you say bucks team wins 50 plus a motivated healthy hungry bucks team i could see top 2 seed n over 60 wins

Dude washed out of the league 5-years ago and turns 29 in December. Love me some YABU but let's not get crazy here. He's an end-of-bench flier guy that I'd simply prefer over Marjon or any of the two-way dudes, not some hot free agent that all 30-teams are banging down the doors to sign based on that highlight of him dunking over 40-year old Lebron lol.

He had a very good tournament in Paris. The star of his team with big stars around him. He lead France to the final. He didn't need that highlight for the hype. It is well deserved.

Pasečņiks really can finish around the rim. Watching highlights, I have no idea if he's left or right-handed. And I didn't see a single shot from outside the paint. Can he shoot? And does he play D at all?

I'll hang up and listen.

Dear God, you nailed it. It's amazing how these guys calling in have such strong opinions on a player and can't even remember their name or some other very basic trait about the player.

Ouch metrics pretty unkind to Lillard/Trent/Middleton. Not that we didn’t know it already. Delon Wright though and Andre ever faired ok

He wouldn't be my first choice of the guys who've re-entered the NBA fan imagination over the couple weeks.

Agree. He averaged 3 rebounds a game last year. Like Prince, he's not the big wing we need. Another year will pass without adding a big wing that can help Giannis at center lineups on the glass.

So Pasecniks and Zinger are the same age, same size, had similar skillsets (aside from a consistent jumper), and played on the same team before being drafted. Zinger was drafted higher because of his unicorn potential but both were first rounders. Zinger could play pf with his perimeter shooting skills until he could get bigger/stronger to play center so he got playing time and development with the Knicks. Pasecniks was considered a late bloomer because he didn’t have Zingers consistent jumper so he was brought into camp and was basically going to be a eurostash until he got bigger to play center or developed his jumper. Neither one really got any bigger but Zingers at the rim metrics when he did play center were pretty good so I think the league has accepted that his offensive advantages along with his defensive metrics have made him worthy of center minutes even though he is an injury risk. Pasecniks has kind of bounced around and never gotten consistent minutes to develop with. His offensive efficiency has been good because he can finish around the rim with his length and quickness but I think in europe he gets bullied in the post too much to be a starting center. So the real answer is we don’t know if he has developed a jumper, probably not as he has been an afterthought thus far in his career.

Maybe he just needs to hire a tailor. Seriously, from some angles he looks wiry more than skin & bones. Still needs to get Suk'd.

There's no way they should be starting Trent, if a solid defense is their goal. Delon & AJJ need to earn that spot.

[JonHeist]

advanced defensive metrics are about as useful as a blind man's eye test
