I’d rather have MCW than Frazier. I believe MCW is on a 10 day in Orlando.

I’d rather have Earl Boykins.

Frazier at least forced that 8 second backcourt and has been getting after it defensively. Nowhere to go but up on the other end.

Frazier was with the team in camp so knows the guys and the system. Y'all would've complained about any other option after they were thrown into some games and looked bad. Canaan was trash too.

Wade Baldwin would’ve been a nice look

You're not getting a good player at this point in the season. They all have warts. If they were good, they'd already be on a team.

Signing Frazier was a rational play. I don't think there would have been an appreciable difference between him and most out-of-the-league PGs we could have signed, the point is to get a guy in there so we don't have to play Pat at point guard for 20 minutes. Frazier's easily our worst player but that's not the point. This is a salvage effort.

We already got Wilt for PP. Any chance Andre Miller can still walk?

ECF game 7, we have a small lead with 10mins left, but Embiid is beasting in the paint and Lopez is gassed and in foul trouble.
You need a big who will not make any mistakes, can sell some charges to the refs, can think straight under pressure. Who would you rather have, Wood or Gasol?

3% chance of it happening but that's pretty much the whole point (in my mind anyway).
I think we'll try different things with Ersan, DJ and even Giannis before it comes down to expecting Gasol to bail us out, hence the 3%, but there's always that possibility.

For him to be a mentor for a team with no one who has won anything in the playoffs. And be an "in case of emergency" backup big".

I think Pau’s signing still helps set us up as a ring chasing destination of the future. At some point one of those older vet minimum dudes will contribute for us when we need it. Pau is also very well connected to a ton of guys himself and it doesn’t hurt to have a guy of his magnitude speaking highly of the Bucks.

It's not like we missed out on anyone else either. The buyout market was very poor this year.

I actually think Donatas Motiejunas could end up being the most productive big to get scooped.

Wood be great to have a backup C/PF...

Is it even realistic (cap wise) to get Kemba? I know he probably wouldn’t, and we’d have to gut the team, but god damn him and Giannis would be an unreal duo.

Realistic? Not anymore, no. Possible? Technically, yes.

It was and that was my preferred move until we signed Bledsoe. Now there is likely 0% chance.
