NCAA and probably some non prospect given the teams involved (Sun Belt conference) but figured I would post it here anyway. Possibly Jose Calderon's son guarding at the top of the key.

I don’t care about the Poeltl trade. I was critical of that trade when it was made.

Kessler was talked about last year as an impact player with loads of upside. He can’t even start for a rebuilding team. That rebuilding team went out and got John Collins.

The point is, Kessler is a limited and flawed big man. Missing out on him isn’t significant and as I said before, we may not like it but the salary cap exists and every decision a team makes always has the salary cap in mind. So no, you are not looking at things objectively because you’re ignoring an incredibly important detail.

Would our franchise be in a better position if we selected Kesseler and didn’t trade for Poeltl. Yes or no.

Los:

It would be a good point if it had anything to do with what we were discussing.

They're 25-11 and second in the East. I doubt it. They are losing by 28 right now though lol.

Utah is doing a terrible job of tanking.

I know the record but they're falling apart recently. I saw posters on Bucks board hoping Darvin Ham gets fired so they can bring him back. Which means nothing I know. But Bucks are going in the wrong direction, no chance of beating Boston as it stands now. Do they have assets to make a trade?

Bucks board in turmoil. Beg Stotts to come back. Doc Rivers coming. Griff won't make it to Wednesday. Lots of comments like that. No one calling for coach Bud though.

Why they passed on Nurse is still of a mystery to me.

Maybe Nurse passed on them. Is it that hard to believe?

I got chu fam

The prospect is Victor Dukes and this is a high school game from probably 10+ years ago being played at Arkansas State

Dukes went undrafted in the 2019 draft. Crazy dunk for sure tho

Wrong. Giannis wanted AG over Nurse.

Here’s what John Gambodoro had to say about the situation in the 'Burns and Gambo' podcast:

“I think that Griffin is gonna get the Milwaukee job because Giannis wants him. There’s like a butting of the heads in Milwaukee, from what I’m being told, because you’ve got the owner, you’ve got the GM, you’ve got Giannis.They wanna keep Giannis and they wanna keep Giannis happy. Adrian Griffin is his choice. That’s who he wants.”

But that still doesn't mean Nurse wanted the job coaching the Bucks.
