Bucks News, Trade Ideas, Transactions - PatBev: AJJ has "bright future"

[MickeyDavis]

Having Bev around starting in Feb or so is cool. Having him the whole season would be grating, for the fans and for the team. But I'd give it a shot if he wants to return.

[BUCKnation]

I think he was pretty solid in Miami. Had a really game in the playoffs too.

Playoff rotation FOR NOW

Giannis
Dame
Khris

7-8 is the usual for the playoffs. I don't see this as the final rotation though. Just current.

Doc did say more athletic doesn't necessarily mean younger. He literally said old and athletic is fine too.

Horst? Or are they both out there saying this?

No, Doc said it during his exit interview i do believe

If Wright can hit on 36% of his catch and shoot 3s, he could be called upon to close out games this season as he rarely turns the ball over and is a good perimeter defender.

[JayMKE]

we need as many guys who can defend as possible, Bev's antics were overblown imo

I just feel like his teammates probably get annoyed by him but i could be wrong

Anyway, if Pat comes back fir a bench role im fine with it, but we need a better starter.

[Bernman]

Hard to justify trading Brook now w/ the lack of C options on the market. Paradoxically that's why he's garnering interest. Just have to wait it out until Bobby looks appealing. Get a better sg option for him. Then replace Bobby w/ someone like Paul Reed.

[ShootingtheJ]

I wouldn't worry about roles yet, I think the final roster will look much different

[soxperry]

Seems like Wright is a similar profile to what one would hope Umude could someday be. Probably less ball handling but more shooting with Umude, but very similar defensively.

Based on?

Based on?

Our desire to move Bobby and Brook to become faster and more versatile, a long with the strong market for both.

There's a limited number of traditional centers available, but plenty of the switchable type, which I think bodes well for us.

I really agree with you. I think there is a level of defensive intensity and effectiveness we can get back to that we lost last year. And I think we can do that while becoming a slightly better/more consistent shooting team. We’re all frustrated with the way the season ended the last two years, and things feel like we’re fading. But we have two very tradable players, and if we nail those trades (talent but also fit) we can be the best team in the east.

Paul Reed would be great. But I only trade Bobby if it brings back a pretty good player in return. Bobby's contract is now insanely low for his production.

I'd say right now the Bucks have 4 guys I'm confident are Playoff caliber players, Giannis, Dame, Khris, and Wright. Then you have Brook & Bobby who are matchup dependent. Then you have Ajax & Green who we're hoping take a step forward and show they can be counted on. So probably between 5-7 guys if everyone is healthy. Let's hope they can add to that number

[pifhluk23]

Brook probably gets dealt at the deadline to a team that's giving up on the playoffs and wants to shed salary.

[JayMKE]

match up dependent or not I don't think you can just trade Brook and not replace him

Brook doesn’t rebound the ball though. He’s far from a traditional center. We just played a series where we needed him to grab the ball and his total rebound percentage averaged out at 7%. He needs a guy next to him who cleans the glass.

[bdpecore]

Paul Reed for Pat C seems like a good fit for both teams based on their current rosters.
