Pretty surprised there was no mention of Jrue and Grayson tbh.

What a headline

On the ringer pod I listened to one of the hosts who was particularly dubious about Milwaukee's side in this one thought that Middleton's job was going to become so much more difficult this season. To be fair to the ringer, another host sounded like he was laughing at the take.

That is a truly bizarre take because I think Middleton is one of the 10 most turnkey players in the NBA

I'm sure this was shared earlier today but I just saw it on the timeline now:

Lowe Post was a good listen.

ONE future 1st is astounding - we're not that far removed from that being the cost of a relatively minor Henson/Dellavedova salary dump. And not only does this trade make the swaps we just moved less valuable, it also makes the upcoming swaps from the original Jrue trade a lot less valuable

Setting aside Giannis, has Dame played with anyone as good as Khris in the past decade? Or Brook, for that matter?

Brooklyn could have beaten our offer if they were willing to push all their chips to the table. Incredible move by Horst to sneak in and get this done. Masterful off-season GM-ing (if he got the coaching hire right).

I imagine they'll do something separate about Jrue soon

Ok, now I understand. I thought it was a sport team.

Yes, winter just finished a few days ago. If it was so hot during winter, I'm afraid what will happen when summer starts (mid-December).

The Horst haters have gone very quiet or changed tune quite quickly... :lol:

Out of all the shocking things from this trade, how about the value Phoenix got for Ayton?! Grayson, Little and a busted Nurkic is pretty grim value for a #1 pick.

Aldridge as an overall player is definitely better than Brook is now and better than Middleton as well. He had some All-NBA seasons those last couple years in Portland.

Living in an international city, I'm literally the only bucks fan people know and my phone is blowing up like I'm Edens son in law or something.

We were just applying pressure, just like Giannis. :nod:

Fair, although Aldridge's last year in Portland was 2014-2015, which is pretty darn close to a decade ago
