Doesn't work, Lakers can't take back salary.

I would see if Utah would do Marjon for Bazely straight up.

Both are rich Paul guys right?

Send him to the Spurs for a straight salary dump and a top 59 protected second. Wouldn’t that be the most valuable right now to save money?

Can’t believe we drafted Thon 10th overall.

He looks good for a 40 year old.

Still the most mind-numbingly stupid pick in Bucks history.

Thon over Sabonis is so awful. In fairness, Malik Beasley was the next best player drafted in the 1st before Siakim Dejounte and then Brogdon in the 2nd were the only other players that turned into something.

One of the all time great grifts from his handlers to get him drafted that high.

Joe Alexander was far worse. That draft was loaded with guys who had long careers. A ton of them went on to play for the Bucks.

Thon sucked ass, and I think all of us (except Fotis) accepted that at some point, but I remember being bamboozled so hard by him randomly turning up in some of the '17 and '18 playoff games lol. Like look at this bull **** lmao:

Watch on YouTube

Dude was terrible, and what makes it more frustrating is that the player archetype they thought Thon was, would've been the coolest player archetype to pair with Giannis. Twin towers on defense with Giannis and a 7 foot+, athletic, shot blocking & switchable 5 that can shoot 3s would be insane. It's like the basketball gods were taunting us about it..."hey you know how dope it would be to have that type of player next to Giannis? we're gonna give you a dude that is 10% that and 90% bozo"

Taurean Prince went 12th after Sabonis 8-)

That was the other one. I'd put them on similar levels, but yeah Alexander was probably worse.

Thon just hurt more because we knew we were on a massive upswing and it was probably the last time we'd have a relatively high pick.

And it was painfully obvious that he sucked.

Is there any chance that the Magic would trade WCJ for Bobby?

Bucks in: WCJ, Wendell Moore
Pistons in: Pat, Marjon, Bucks 2031 2nd
Magic in: Portis

raferfenix · Post #636 » by **raferfenix** » Sat Jul 20, 2024 6:55 pm

Bobby Marks brought up the Bobby question.

This was before we got GTJ too.

What to watch for: Does Milwaukee view Bobby Portis Jr. as more of a trade asset or an important part of its future? Portis has outplayed the four-year, $48.6 million contract he signed in 2022 and could become a free agent next offseason if he declines his $13.4 million player option. For the second time in his career, Portis shot better than 50% from the field and 40% on 3-pointers. He is eligible to sign a four-year, $81 million extension this season.

Agree we're both worse, a long with Joe Alexander and Robert Traylor.

The worst though was taking Kent Benson #1 overall.

Magic are loaded at that position. Find a different landing spot for Bobby. Memphis, Sacramento, GSW...

Lol .

Wilson and Vaughn weren't in the same stratosphere of terrible.

Benson at 1 was obvious too given the climate.
