Bucks News, Trade Ideas, Transactions

[Frank Nova]

The Jazz have Ainge, find dumber teams to trade with.

We just need to find the 3rd team that would be willing to do the bidding for us. We don’t have the assets to get Ainge to bite on deals for his players, but a contending team that wants Brook or Bobby might…

[BigO]

What are the chances Bobby doesn't pick up his PO for next season?

He wants an extension. If he doesn't get one he'll likely opt out. $13.4 million next year is a bargain.[/quote]

I don't get it. BP is the pin cushion on this board with terms to describe him as unplayable, a disaster, bench him and more. Yet somehow the 13.4 salary is a bargain.

The truth is he is/was the most valuable trade piece the Bucks have, other than Giannis and Lillard. There's no way he comes back at 13.4. But he is a rental this year, which makes his trade value less.

Both Lopez and BP are being misused. Lopez is not Porzingis and shouldn't be standing on the three point line the entire time he's on offense. When Giannis is out, he should be posting up as much as possible, but he rarely does.

I'd trade Lopez for Looney and GPIII, since we're getting no offense or rebounds from Lopez. Might as well go for 2 low priced defenders.

Who’s the 3rd team that has the player(s) we want that can facilitate a trade that sends Brook to LAL?

Bucks in - Colin Sexton, Walker Kessler

Lakers in - Brook Lopez

Jazz in - Dlo Russell, Hood-Schfino, Christian Wood, Marjon Beauchamp, Lakers 1st

Jazz get a 1st, get off 2 longer contracts and 25mil(ish) in expirings

Lakers get front court help for AD and Lebron

Bucks get a scoring combo guard and extra ball handler and a younger and more mobile rim protector.

Find a Bobby trade next….

Jazz turned down an offer of 2 - 1sts for Kessler in the offseason.

Ainge being the self entitled douche that he is will get him fired sooner rather than later. He deconstructed a playoff roster and traded 2 franchise players for Lauri Markkanen and a bunch of late 1st round picks from Cleveland and Minnesota. Hard to imagine your new boss thinks super highly of the direction they’re heading..

He’ll eventually have to take the best offer he gets rather than think he can just continue to dictate every minor detail in his best favor. It’s going to cost him his job eventually.

Totally agree about everything you said about Ainge, but if he's going to cave, he'll just take the 2- 1sts from the Lakers that was previously offered.

I think you have to put a lot of it on him. The team was 33-11 under Adrian Griffin. And it’s not just the coaching, but player personnel input that we miss with Bud. Becoming clear that while Horst is good at technically pulling off trades under the cap, Bud was the guy identifying people who fit his system.

How many years ago was the last good addition under Bud? Bobby Portis? Bud got lazy, and it killed us.

They re upped Carter and signed Jingles his last year as coach.

Those don't count?

Both awful moves. Neither was a playoff player, and blocked roster spots from the many players who could have been.

[ShootingtheJ]

Meanwhile Shannon hasn't done dick, and Dunn was playing himself out of the rotation in Phoenix (if he was ever in it) before he hurt his ankle.

They are significantly better with Dunn on the floor, and he's shooting 39% from 3. Dunn was averaging 17 mpg until the game he left with injury. He's clearly in the rotation, and even started 2 games.

Meanwhile, you thought AJJ should be on our rotation, but instead he's not even good enough for the G League. He's a massive project who should be on a 2 way deal.

He's getting 15 minutes a game, man.

Yes, when you include a game that he was injured in the 1st half, man.

Meanwhile, AJJ wouldn't get a minute in the G League if it wasn't a developmental league.

Bobby Portis could very easily be a minimum to MLE guy if he opts out.

Bobby Portis could very easily be a minimum to MLE guy if he opts out.

A 4 year $46 million guaranteed MLE deal is a better than a 1 year. He'll opt out, but more likely, a team willing to extend him trades for him. I'm guessing the Clippers, for the PJ contract slot and a 1st. The thing holding it up is there isn't anyone useful we can acquire with that pick and contract slot. Too many teams trying to win now, but that will change.

They'll probably just keep Kessler, I feel like his name was floated out there in more a 'throw a crazy offer at us' vs actually wanting to trade him.

What do you guys think about this trade saves 5.5 million also we’d add two second round picks

It's not showing a trade. Just that the Bucks and Sac are involved.

[theFireBlanket]

At least Ham is ready to take Doc's job.

It was Lyles and two seconds for Portis using MLE that Sacramento has

Nothing to do with trades but what a crazy coincidence. 30 minutes ago, i was listening to this song (go west). So, this is probably a sign, that everything is gonna be well in the future, for my personal life and Bucks (Or it's just wishful thinking, we'll see)

[MickeyDavis]

At least Ham is ready to take Doc's job.

I don't necessarily think he'd be an upgrade. Maybe. I'd rather promote Joerger

I'd go Joerger, Kalarman, Prunty, then Hamm.

[MKE_Beers]

This is my ridiculous trade to get better bigs. It works on Fanspo. Can tweak pics a little if needed but it seems like it would work for all teams.

DET gets a young piece to put next to Cade, Warriors get picks and to end the Kuminga saga plus a shooting big that Kerr has said he liked when he coached the USA national team in Bobby, LAL get Brook who they were just linked to and a clutch rep in Marjon while not having to give up a 1st, and MKE gets a new frontcourt and a secondary ball handler.

MKE: Stewart, Reed, Sasser, Looney
Warriors: Bobby, Moore Jr, Det 1st, Det 2nd, 2 LAL 2nds
DET: Kuminga, Russel, Vanderbilt
LAL: Brook, Marjon, Wright

[Frank Nova]

Promote Rajon Rondo to head coach. Let’s get real crazy, why not?

[ShootingtheJ]

Just once is his career, I'd like to see Giannis play with a PG who can shoot a 3 off the catch.
