I love how the ref was trying hard not to be super excited by the dunk of the year.

BTW... how much did it cost to get Penda?

46th pick, 57th pick, the Bucks 2nd this year and our 2nd next year, I think?

I want to say we still have our own 2nd this year. And we will have the worst of Boston or Ours next year. Not positive on that.

Is the team just sandbagging until closer to the playoffs?

Sandbagging is maybe the exact word to describe but I flagged Paolo’s attitude in his post game interview. I do think these injuries might cause players to pace themselves. Well everyone except Suggs lol. Who I beg will do just a little bit of pacing himself. But that is why we all love him.

going by what i've seen on social media and at the game......maybe there's some legs to this Euro NBA expansion thing.....

I was really impressed by the energy. The let’s go magic chants were louder then Kia center at some points. That’s not all that fair though because it’s a much smaller arena. The Magic have a chance to capitalize on this and use Germany as an asset as Houston did with Yao. Though obviously at a lesser level then that because populations are very very different.

Yeah lol. I think it made a lot of sense though. This team has little financial flexibility going forward so going up and getting another 1st round talent to get integrated this year in hopes they will be fully ready when the team loses that financial flexibility makes a ton of sense. Decent chance of Jase and Penda being rotation players making a combined 5-6 million bucks. Which is huge when you are touching the 2nd apron and unable to really get anything but vet min scraps to fill out the bench.

I would even consider doing similar this year if there's a big they like. The value in getting these guys in as early as possible is pretty big since it's an all-in roster for the next several years from a financial standpoint anyway.
