I preferred Deni, Wiseman or Okongwu, but Edwards was one of the 4 I was OK with selecting at pick 1. Even though he's off to a rough start he has made some plays that I see as big time. The chase down block was reminiscent of LeBrlon and the drive for the and 1 where the ref made the BS charging call were both spectacular.

And a collective sigh of relief went out through Milwaukee.

In all honesty, I am glad to see a smaller market able to retain its star -- doesn't mean he won't demand a trade in the future.

I told you all the trade for Holiday was a good one. :D

Gotta be tough to be Ben Simmons thinking you might get traded any day for Harden. Also every loss they take where Ben isn't amazing he will probably be the scapegoat.

It's good that he signs with them at least. Now when he demands a trade a year from now and gets his 15% trade kicker as well, at least the Bucks will be getting something in return. If they had waited for him and he just walked, that would have been sad. Not to mention how sick of hearing about it I would have been by mid season. "is the team winning enough to make him want to stay?". Idk, ask the guy responsible for most the cap and minutes. I would have closed my ears and eyes by February.

Rockets will end up wanting too much and Simmons will end up here. Rosas has been loading up Edwards minutes in Preseason to sell that #1 pick yet.

TNT game

Wiggins just drove the net on Bjelica

3-10 shooting, 10 pts. 1 of 5 from 3FG

Oubre and maybe Chriss are better.
