I can't wait until the start of the season, In the words of the great Mr. T " I pity the Fools". Ain't no way Giannis, Dame and Khris aren't taking this personal, they're going to murder people. Giannis is still THE ONE, and his other two costars aren't too shabby. I like the upgrades so far, hopefully more to come, but giannis has already succeeded with less


Lets hope so.

Mostly just making light of an uneventful offseason. I am not sure what I thought was going to happen, but I was hoping to see a frontcourt shake-up whilst ducking the 2nd apron-- could still happen for sure. As far as Wright/Prince, those are good vet min signings but are not moving the needle much, if at all.

No. This Bucks team is a top 4 team in the league.

Of course health is a disclaimer and our current roster may not be the final roster. But this is a top 4 team.


The rest of the league is really freaking talented and I think our current team is being aged out a bit and we're closer to 10 than top 4. If we were to somehow find a really good guard/wing who can fit in offensively and fill the defensive hole we lack that would change a lot though.

How excited was everyone when we traded for 35 year old Patrick Beverley last year? He made a huge difference. Wright is better and hey maybe we still bring Pat back? He’s “old” compared to Prince and Wright

I was very excited, then again I wanted him for the past decade.

Problem is he has to control his anger. I'm fine with our moves so far and I'm sure if a deal presented itself, we would make another move. I like this team more than most and think we have a good shot as is, but would be open to something if it was available.

Boston is the clear #1 but I think you can take teams #2-#7 (including the Bucks) and jumble them up in any order.

Don’t know how on earth anyone could watch these past playoffs and determine we’re for sure below any of these teams. 2 of the last 3 champions (Denver, Golden State) simply needed to get their main 2-3 guys healthy for a whole playoff run. That’s it.

Then he's not going to the Spurs. Wouldn't be surprised if they offer picks, and we have to send them to someone just starting their rebuild.

Ok, I guess I'll ask. If we're already top 4 and health withstanding you can't put anyone other than Boston above us, why are we looking to make any trades at all?

Just run it back, right? No need to tinker.

Both of our bigs are situational and could use more versatility there, while also having a gaping hole at the SG spot. Makes a playoff run tough if we run it back with moves on the margins. You can squint and see it if things break our way, though. We have the talent to beat anyone.

Moody and Jackson-Davis would inject a whole lot of athleticism, versatility and defense.

Warriors seem high on Jackson-Davis especially. If they seriously think Bobby is their long term center maybe we can pull it, otherwise we’d have to include more assets.

If we don't swing for a starting SG I'm ready to roll with Ajax, he just needs experience.

Dame / Wright
Ajax / Green
Midds / Patty
Giannis / Prince
Brook / Portis

They've already done their tinkering. I think the Bucks are now good with the rotation they've got.

I would guess you're right and I am disappointed in that.
