Murray such a no brainer, big skill and value upgrade

Yep. I'd trade everybody we have besides giannis as long as we got him and value in the margins back

[SupremeHustle]

Kuzma is closer to Tim Thomas than Bobby. He's is a poor man's Jason Tatum, who I used to think would be nothing more than a Tim Thomas clone.

[GHOSTofSIKMA]

Count me as one who doesn't think Murray fits with Dame and Giannis. He needs the ball to be effective.

That's why if dame went out it would be ideal. We could fill the roster.

Probably unrealistic but I'd rather have the young baller balling with a replenished stable then the old stud name coasting blaming failure on where his kids live

[GHOSTofSIKMA]

Giannis is balling tf out this year.... hes back dialed in and playing smarter....and we got a decent coach back

If we can't win....there are no damn untouchables....period... besides giannis...period

That's my take anyway

[GHOSTofSIKMA]

If we can find a team to be as bamboozled by Bobby Portis as some on this board then SELL HIGH.

Hilarious that some think he's a solution of anything especially if those guys post alot about defensive deficiency.

I love Bobby as a human. I adore him in fact. I'd let him babysit my grandkids without a hesitation.

But.. as a basketball player.... not a greater selfish numbers no defense playing brother has ever been born.

The tough act, I still love as well.... kind of like my new girlfriends 18 pd aussie doodle barks at dogs on the tv

[ReasonablySober]

Alright, I guess put me on the Dunn trade bandwagon.

[Daver]

If they can get williams n a 1st from dallas for bobby couldnt you then rurn around n trade that 1st the portland pick pat/ marjon to either the raps for brown or the hawks for murray

Would this board be happy with wiggins/ saric for portis plus

That’s automatically a no

Or Caruso. Hope we wouldn't trade it for Brown, he's not that caliber.

Last year, I couldn't believe we passed on Brown for the tMLE. Now he's getting $22 million. Crazy how fast he went from underrated to overrated.

[blazza18]

I wish we could trust our scouting department to find the next Kris Dunn than give up whatever assets it takes to acquire him. Would fit the team but yeah..

[Rstuedes24]

In: Wiggins/Moody
Out: BP, Pat, Marjon, RoLo
Sign a competent C like Dieng and bring Gabriel up

Dame/Payne/AJG
Wiggins/Beasley/Ajax
Khris/Moody/Livingston
Giannis/Jae/Thanasis
Brook/Dieng/Gabriel

[Badgerlander]

I’d love to grab Agbaji if he is available for cheap. Kj Martin too

[Plossum]

Alright, I guess put me on the Dunn trade bandwagon.

Dunn was a scrapheap guy not long ago. Surely there's a rehab project out there like Dunn we can invest in. Jarrett Culver, TJ Warren, Winslow, Ish Wainwright etc. Are none of this guys worth a look? I'd be wary about giving up too much for Dunn. The defence is tempting but he can't really play on the other side of the ball.

[SirChurros]

In: Wiggins/Moody
Out: BP, Pat, Marjon, RoLo
Sign a competent C like Dieng and bring Gabriel up

Dame/Payne/AJG
Wiggins/Beasley/Ajax
Khris/Moody/Livingston
Giannis/Jae/Thanasis
Brook/Dieng/Gabriel

I would need to change my pants immediately.

[Matches Malone]

All this Wiggins talk makes me wish we had gone after Kuminga before he broke out and there were rumors of the Warriors shopping him.

Count me as one who doesn't think Murray fits with Dame and Giannis. He needs the ball to be effective.

Giannis and Dame don't "fit" together either, neither did Dame and McCollum so I don't see any reason why it couldn't work. Simply its about stealing value and upgrading talent whenever possible, Bucks core is too old unathletic overpaid and with far fewer sands in the hourglass than we all hoped for. Murray is a former all star PG in his prime, locked up on a fair contract, its such a no brainer. This team needs TALENT not just some rando defensive swingman, the team isn't that close and needs to focus on the future. I don't think Murray lessens our chances this year at all and he definitely is better going forward. Its just such a no brainer, its crazy people will talk themselves into Grant Williams who isn't even a starter in this league or all time low IQ no motor guys like Andrew Wiggins over a legitimate allstar player like Murray.

I think Dame and Giannis does fit but once the off the court stuff came out after he was traded I figured it would be an up and down year.

Murray is talented and this year he has shot the ball the best in his career. If you believe he can keep that up than he makes sense on some levels. Maybe he could grow into a real high level player in 2 years once all the old guard leave. I just don't see him as that guy. He is not an All-Star level guy right now and was a replacement guy when he did go on the team that Wiggins started for. Saying all that Murray is still growing and entering his prime and maybe he is okay with an even smaller role.

Sorry, have been in meetings- just rolled over past 2 p.m. Thursday here in Sydney and looks like the golf trip with Doc worked and we're holding steady.

[stellation]

Kuzma is closer to Tim Thomas than Bobby. He's is a poor man's Jason Tatum, who I used to think would be nothing more than a Tim Thomas clone.

Now that you've said it I'm never going to be able to unsee it.

[Ron Swanson]

Wiggins or Kuzma tracks based on what we can piece together. Don't think there's any sort of market for either of those guys' contracts, especially not with the new luxury tax restrictions about to kick in. We're probably one of the few teams that doesn't care about footing a big tax bill for the next 1-2 years (nor should we). Just don't think it's a good idea to bet on a guy like Wiggins magically re-discovering his motivation. Kuzma I'm torn on. If you squint you can see the perfect "Aaron Gordon in Denver" role-player if he buys in, but he just seems like another guy content to put up 20+ on a bad team and coast since he got his championship ring.

Thunder looking for a big that can rebound. Sounds like Bobby Portis to me.
