Expecting Thybulle but ready for left field trade of Davion Mitchell

[Frank Nova]

I don’t hate the idea of Isaac Okoro if there’s any legs to that rumor. He’s someone I hadn’t thought about but definitely makes sense and fits the criteria of the type of player we’re looking for. Not sure how much Cleveland is gonna be willing to help us out there but a Pat/Okoro swap works financially.

[rilamann]

I'm going to be disappointed if we don't end up with Grant Williams. I can't stand him, but I would love him on the Bucks.

[Wonka]

Please say no to Andrew Wiggins. That is all.

[bucksfansince88]

Horst looking real thirsty out here. If we get Wiggins does that mean Midds is gone?

I think Giannis would make him compete and help bring the dawg out of him, we could use a guy that can play 2-4. Doc will get the best out of him

[Frank Nova]

If you trade Bobby, Pat, Marjon and Cam Payne it’s a successful trade for Wiggins. If we can get some kickback with Wiggins like a future 1st, we could flip the Portland 2nd and future 1st to find a replacement for Bobby? But idk who else we’d have to even deal at that point. A Wiggins trade makes sense on the court but financially seems impossible.

What am I missing? Where is there a Wiggins rumor?


Nvm..found them.

[raferfenix]

If we were to get Wiggins wow that’d trigger some serious Tim Thomas PTSD.

Jake Fischer ending this section saying the Mavs 2027 first could be in play is interesting too.

But Wiggins is the Warrior who’s generated the most significant trade chatter around the league. He remains a player in consideration for the Dallas Mavericks and Milwaukee Bucks, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Although in order for Milwaukee to reach Wiggins’ $24.3 million salary, the Bucks would need to include forward Bobby Portis in any outgoing package, and Milwaukee, sources said, is going to think long and hard before sacrificing Portis in any deal at this deadline. Still, it should be noted Portis was one of Kerr’s favorites during this summer’s FIBA World Cup run with Team USA.

The Bucks’ valuation of Portis, not just for his shooting ability and veteran know-how but also his championship history with the franchise, is also the reason it would take far more than Grant Williams, sources said, for Milwaukee to send Portis to Dallas. The Mavericks are known to be including either Williams or Tim Hardaway Jr. as the larger-salary player with which Dallas is exploring several frontcourt options with shooting ability, plus some defensive chops, sources said. And the Mavs are willing to spend their 2027 first-round pick for the right option.

Horst is a silent assassin. Nobody knows anything about his moves and then BAM. Trade.

Makes it strange that every man and his dog knew we wanted Jae Crowder and in the end Horst really had to pay for it too.

You leave good boi Griff out of this.

That and the Serge trade (trading Donte was the right move) are his worst ones. I still trust Horst and think he’s pretty good. Not above criticism though

[JayMKE]

After GWilliams and Wiggins being thrown out there everybody should be on board with Murray

[raferfenix]

What’re we offering the Pelicans and Thunder for a first?

New Orleans controls a lot of our picks already if that impacts anything.

Bucks canvassing league

There is no shortage of names that have been linked to Milwaukee’s quest to find defensive upgrades, particularly on the perimeter. As SportsNet New York reported earlier Tuesday, Dorian Finney-Smith is another player on the Bucks’ radar, sources confirmed, as his $13.3 million salary would not require parting with Portis. But Milwaukee doesn’t have the first-round draft capital that Brooklyn, sources said, is seeking for its swingman. The Bucks have been including Marjon Beauchamp in conversations, sources said, along with the No. 35 pick Milwaukee will inherit from Portland in this June’s draft.

The Bucks, along with the Sixers, are among several teams that have contacted the likes of New Orleans and Oklahoma City, sources said, attempting to trade future first-round pick swaps or packages of second-round picks to acquire extra first-round selections. Phoenix, you may recall, dealt two future first-round swaps (2024 and 2030) to Memphis for three seconds before this season began. Now it seems like several teams are trying to deal those same assets for an even more meaningful return.

Horst has been pretty focused on bringing in guys with 'grit'. Really can't see Wiggins fitting that description

[ReddRum]

Just looking at his stats from the past few days Murray seems to be an inefficient chucker...? Now if he plays good defense that may offset some of that obviously...

[BUCKnation]

Wiggins has been better than I thought on paper, but he just strikes me as a guy who tried really hard for a month, played amazing, got his ring and is just content with his career at this point.

[Wonka]

He’s just not producing nearly enough for what he gets paid and what we’d have to give up to acquire him.

[Plossum]

Murray would be a weird fit here. Not sure he’d be thrilled to come here as a fourth/fifth option.

We really just need a guy who defend wings well and hit a three in the high 30s on decent volume.

I’m not convinced Thybulle can shoot reliably but I’m willing to be talked into DFS or O’Neal.

[rayallenscalves]

I’d prefer a mixture of rumors that sends Wiggins to Dallas, Williams and Green to Milwaukee, and Bobby, Pat and Marjon to Golden State.

[German Athens]

Wiggins is still that high risk/high reward trade candidate. If we traded for him, I’d be confident that the bucks did their due diligence, and reasonably optimistic about bringing him in.
