Taurean Prince signs with Bucks - one year deal

[bdpecore]

Is there any path to getting Precious Achiuwa?

Only if we can dump Pat C’s salary into another team’s cap space and use the TPMLE.

[bdpecore]

He’s the Jae replacement, but I hope if a young guy pops we don’t keep forcing minutes to prince.

If a young player shows he’s ready to take over those minutes then I could see Horst trading him at the deadline for a some future 2nds.

[soxperry]

that's one way to answer an honest question without actually answering it. still would love to hear some actual reasons why people are excited.

OK, how bout our roster is more geared to play him at PF, & that's just a better way we can deploy which, which bball index isn't parsing, unlike Cleaning the Glass, which is looking at indications of overall floor impact.

Net ratings:

'24: +1.4 at PF, -2.1 SF
'23: +3.6 at PF, -2.3 SF
'22: +2.4 at PF, -5.1 SF

Or he'll be used in a worse way, and be a moderate negative. Either way, we had minimums to offer. This is about the best we can hope for (other than Reed/Achiuwa, who are PF/Cs). The juicier additions we'd have to trade for.

alright, the sounds a little promising. thanks

Not sure we need him and Pat. Cool I guess.

He did this while playing over 2100 minutes. Prince is a real rotation piece that slides in when Mids is out, is hurt, or just off the court. Can also play small ball PF. Can shoot from 3 but otherwise doesn't need the ball.

Amazing get for the minimum.

Two solid vet min signings. Good job Horst and Doc.

[Frank Nova]

So this is Crowders replacement and he doesn’t even have to be very good to replace Crowder so that’s promising. I guess we’ve replaced Bev with Delon so now we have to replace Beasley I guess?

If he rebounded, he'd be a perfect fit, but he doesn't do that at all

Wright replaces Beas and Bev.

Horst signing two guys I thought would have been great additions over the last few years.

I’m ready to win again.

A bit surprised the response has been (mostly) positive. Seems like most moves get bashed here. This is a very solid pickup.

massive pickup imo.

score pat bev back and a giannis brother and the offseason is complete of the exact type needed

dame/patbev
wright/green
midds/patc
giannis/prince
lopez/portis

aj johnson
ajax
marjon
tyler smith
and some giannis kin?

is that what were looking at?

I have watched many Prince games when he was playing in Minnesota. He is too good for a minimum contract, so good that i am worrying now if there is a case he fell off a cliff last year. I don't know if he was good in LA because i didn't watch them. So, if he is healthy, he will be great as a Khris replacement when Khris would be on the bench. Prince is a 3, a small forward. He catches fire a lot of times and can score multiple 3's one after another. Good for team chemistry, great energy guy. I think he is a catch n shoot player, id est, not a shot creator. If so, he is perfect for playing alongside of Giannis or Dame. He is a "team first" guy, a good defender, he can switch but he is not very strong and capable guarding bigger than him players. Don't expect him to guard power forwards, he can't. But he can guard small forwards or not too fast guards like Reeves.

This is a great signing, considering his contract.

2/2 at the Dollar General. Now let's see that cap maneuvering deal.

Pat can workout with Giannis and then watch from the bench.

Yeah, this is the biggest concern.

3&D wing backing up Midds. I like it!

So he was 7th in % of time spent on the toughest assignment but how was he actually defending against them, was he holding his own or getting cooked? It’s encouraging but I’m curious how the final results ended.
