I’m hoping there’s a move out there still that brings in a higher caliber player than the combination of Grayson/Bobby/Pat. But as far as Brook goes, if that’s what it takes to keep Giannis happy in Milwaukee, **** it.
Winning would make Giannis happy, and if we overpay Brook and prevent ourselves from adding a good player who could actually help come playoff time, we're cooked.
I get what you’re saying but I have hard time agreeing only for the simple fact there arguably wasn’t a free agent available this off-season that can impact a NBA game the same way Brook Lopez can. I realize he is super matchup dependent when the playoffs roll around but Giannis credits a lot of his defensive freedom around the fact Brook is an anchor behind him. I just don’t see how anyone available would have the type of impact you’re implying. In theory, what you’re saying sounds great but in reality it just isn’t all that realistic imo. Maybe I’m wrong, but Bobby Portis falls in the same category and is less valuable to the roster than Brook so we should be looking to move Bobby and Graysons expiring to find the player you’re implying we could sign. That to me seems more realistic..
Something else to add to this, I know AG wants to go to a more aggressive switching defensive scheme, but not having a big body rim protecting center did not have good results for Toronto which is why they traded for Poetlt last year.
