Grant Williams is betting on Jason Kidd being awful.
Could see Rich Paul insisting MarJon go somewhere other than Utah.
I think he included it to say that Atlanta was calling around the league to see who would be interested in Murray and what they would be willing to give up. Nehm also said that the Bucks didn't have as much to offer as other teams.

On the Bud and Griffin payment front. I wonder if theirs an offset in their contracts if they try to double dip.ReasonablySober wrote:

I squandered an asset? Then Hammond taught me well.

For the Bucks, trading for Williams would be an opportunity to try to trade for a distressed asset. Williams is three years younger than Portis and has one more year on his contract than Portis, who has a $13.4 million player option for the 2025-26 season. With the Celtics, Williams showed an ability to bother some of the league’s top scoring wings, which could end up being helpful for the Bucks in the postseason.

Not sure why bud can't take another year off. So far his stock has only gone up, he's had a pretty good track record and there are only so many championship coaches. Hell we hire him immediately next week if we weren't the ones to fire him. He could do espn or something to stay relevant for a year.

I would pass on Grant. He doesn't have the feet PJ did even though everyone compares him to PJ. I'm also not trading Bobby just to replace him with another head case.raferfenix wrote:Marc Stein made a big deal in that podcast about how the Mavs barely have anyone playing over 6’7 and desperately need size.
Idk the extent to which Grant Williams solves our problems but Eric Nehm floating a straight swap with Bobby very well might be a trial balloon on behalf of the team.
Horst also has experience with Jason Kidd not quite maximizing players’ potential if the bet is that’s related to Grant Williams’ decline after getting paid.For the Bucks, trading for Williams would be an opportunity to try to trade for a distressed asset.
