Jay Gort with the game clinching and-1 stepback on Jabari Smith? Really does not scan as a UDFA.

AJJ dribble drive dunk was nice.

Lindell Wigginton always looks good. One of the best AAAA players in the league? He's 6'2" in shoes but looks smaller somehow. Gortman the same size? Is Gortman good? Looks like a hooper.

Robin Lopez in the house.

Nice to see Chris Livingston working on his game.

Biggest takeaway is Jalen Green is Zach Lavine and I want him on the Bucks. Houston could get good quick with the right moves. Middleton for Green and Jabari Smith lol. Let's go!

It seems absurd to list Wigginton and Gort at the same height. There's just no way. Gort looks like a solid 6-3, like Malik Monk size.

Get Gortman and Garuba on 2ways and move on from Wigginton

Or option B the team moves forward with their horrible idea of expanding Wigginton’s role and giving him all the regular season minutes Carter got last year. While they also leave the third two way unfilled most of the season.

I like your idea better but the Bucks GM is kind of an idiot sometimes.

Glad to see Gort still in a Bucks t-shirt. Looks good. Love watching Singleton rip rebounds in between two guys.

Gortman is under contract with the Bucks, what other shirt would he wear?

This seems like a much more real threat than Giannis leaving as a FA

You really think he was serious about that? He's clearly just goofing around there. lol the article saying he "spoke to TMZ Sports." He humored paparazzi. Plus, the "reporter" said "after your NBA career is over."

If Saudi Arabia starts throwing around 300 mil per season like they did with the PGA then yes I'd actually be nervous Giannis would take that. I basically think fans of every team should be nervous they'd lose their star players to a different league if that actually starts happening

The problem is that the basketball culture/infrastructure in the Middle East is still incredibly lacking, so it ain't happening with the top stars in their prime. But if I'm a 38-40 year old former NBA star who's accomplished everything already (rings, MVP's, etc.), why wouldn't I go play in Dubai or Jeddah for a couple seasons if some dude's gonna pay me a quarter billion dollars?

Not sure if there was ever a release, but he is listed on the roster on Bucks.com.

Lots of Bucks players and coaches throughout. Prunty and Oppenheimer.

GIANNIS makes an appearance talking with Prunty but I didn't note the time.

Get Gortman on a real contract, multi year.

Just a camp deal for now. They do still have one open 2 way. Personally I would like to add him to at the very least on a 2 way, if the Bucks were to do a trade where they send out a 2 for 1 then a regular multiyear deal might be the way to go.

emunney · Post #1937 » by **emunney** » Tue Aug 22, 2023 5:10 pm

All the talk about the second apron and how we're going to have room for this and that if Khris signs for x or y amount kind of occluded the fact that Khris is guaranteed 28.7m next season, which is insanely cheap for a player as good as he's been. Less than Lowry, CP, Gordon Hayward. A crazy deal.

Most they could give him would be a 2 year minimum. If he's on a 2 way this year, they'd get a year of Bird rights ("Non-Bird") and would be able to sign him for up to 4 years with a starting salary of 120% of the minimum.

Reminder that his current deal reportedly has Exhibit 10 language, which means we can convert his deal to a 2 way without exposing him to waivers.

My Dad who barely watches the Bucks asked me what the hell the Bucks are doing with their backup pg and all I could do was shrug. That’s where we’re currently at. :lol:
