Bucks have ZERO objective ways to improve. There was no reason to do that Lillard stuff, to do that Turner stuff. They just continued to feed delusion of being relevant.
Basically, any fan who likes and follows nba for longer period of time, and understands a game, could go through Bucks roster and figure that is complete dumpster fire of a roster, even on East. No starting level PG, no starting level SG, no wing defense, all talent clustered at basically same position.
They can consider themselves lucky because Rollins out of nowhere is playing way better than anybody predicted. But there is simply clear (low ) ceiling for such team.
People promise eternity to each other all the time, until they figure how long it actually is. In Giannis head "riding out with Bucks " sounded way better after winning 48 games and blaming injuries for (another) bad playoffs. But playing next 3-4 years of your prime for literally nothing, as your body declines and you have nothing objective to desire or expect is actually brutal for mental health of somebody who is driven by success. And all superstars, at least top 5 players usually are. His whole " not a loss if you don't win " was always a cope. You play sports to win. And even if you fail, you want to be in position where you can success.
From Bucks POV, what's there to do? They will suck anyway. But as long as he is there they will have to bribe him with idiotic moves, keep his talentless brothers around and continue to feed his delusion of "competitive roster". For crying out loud, they added Kyle Bumzma in hope of fixing something.
