"Pat invests in real estate in the area, he can't be traded" is nonsense.

"Pat has very little value and you aren't getting anything back for him" is not nonsense.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

WOJ - "Bulls want an OG Anunoby type deal for Caruso"

First off LOL no Bulls you are not getting that return. Were probably out of the running for him though.

Why would we waste assets going after a back up PG in Tyus when we have Tyty?

WE NEED A POA DEFENDER!! We need an upgrade in a starting SG. We need an upgrade to our SF and C depth chart.
Shoot, Move, and Communicate...

Countless waze, we pass the daze...

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.

"Let's trade our bad players for good players" sounds great. Should be easy.

Yeah, AJ Green's defense is mostly fine. He moves his feet well and is aware on the court. Has some size issues but he's pretty strong and moves well.


Green isn't just better than Pat, he's better than Beas too.

I still think the idealized version of this team defensively is something we’ve never seen.

A player that could play alongside Giannis when we go small that would still be able to provide rim protection on the backside when Giannis gets sucked out to the perimeter, but still big enough to play against other bigs, and spry enough to guard outside. Basically a second Giannis.

With that, I’m warming up to Isaac. He’s an absolutely nasty defender who gives you Giannis things, and he’d be that larger salary that would be easier to trade next year when we can no longer consolidate.

I’d still absolutely want to upgrade the POA defense, but Isaac would provide us a really interesting defensive piece.

Who is better in your opinion Marjon or AJ?

Green is better today, but has a lower ceiling. We just don't know if Marjon ever hits that ceiling, and we're years from finding out.

Mannix said on the Herd that Bucks have been one of the most active teams as far as trade talks in the last 24-48 hrs. Still mentioned Murray, but also said Royce O'Neale and Dorian Finney-Smith.

DFS taking Bobby’s minutes would be really dope. Just run Giannis at C with DFS and/or Jae in the forward spots when Brook’s off the floor. And Dairy Bird in Pat’s backup minutes

Curious what we're offering Brooklyn.

They could like Bobby and his cheap contract whether Claxton gets traded or not. Or Bobby heads elsewhere in a multi-team deal.

Read on Twitter


Milwaukee staying aggressive

After switching head coaches midseason, the Bucks remain committed to improving their roster, “shopping hard for help,” as described by one league source with knowledge of the situation. Milwaukee has limited options of outgoing packages, with the No. 35 pick, Pat Connaughton and Cam Payne as the Bucks’ most likely outgoing scenario, sources said, and Bobby Portis would need to be included for Milwaukee to chase a bigger salary player like Dejounte Murray, Bruce Brown or Andrew Wiggins, sources said.

Everything I’m reading on twitter from non-Bucks media/fans is making me think Bobby’s trade value could possibly be much higher than his actual on court value. If that’s the case he has to be moved.

I think we all agree about the bench. But how do you turn horrid players into younger, better, more athletic players? Who's going to give us those guys for our bad bench players? It's going to be a tough challenge.
