Bucks News, Trade Ideas, Transactions

[pifhluk23]

Last night, the Bucks had two starters who didn't score a point and played 38 minutes. You possibly can have a playoff lineup with one non-scorer, but not two.

So starters during playoffs:

Giannis
Dame
KM
Lopez
To be determined- Should it be a defender (Ajax, Rollins) or a shooter (Trent, Green)?

If Slopez is still logging 30+ mins for us in the playoffs then it absolutely has to be a defender. I know he's had some good games of late but everyone forgets how completely unplayable he is in a 7 game series against several EC teams.

I don't mind if Midds takes as long as he needs to feel right. Trust him more than the medical team that approved him to play. His on the tail end will probably retire in a few years.

Would love to have Bev back but with no draft picks in sight the best solution is to give Rollins the minutes and experience he deserves.

Why not both a defender and a shooter (Green, Ajax, Rollins, take your pick)?

Why not just AJ Green who is both a defender and a shooter.

Pat and a second for Drew Eubanks
Marjon for nothing

Why in the world are we the betting favorites to get Cam Thomas?

[BUCKnation]

Fwiw, Pat Bev said on Pardon My Take that of all the teams he’s been on he still roots for the Bucks the most and is clearly still close with the team based on his appearance last night. I guess his season is on break, so that’s why he’s back in the chicago area/mke.

I’d love to have him back, because he was quite valuable for us, but I really do want to see Rollins get more time before making a move, if the move is even there to be made.

Who's going to overpay for Marjon like that?

They think we dont value defense

[mlloyd10]

After following the last couple of Lakers games, does Knecht have more trade value than Reaves? reason i bring that up is we are link to the lakers alot lately ( some B.S. trades )

I personally believe that Knecht is a more athletic Doug Mcdermott.

Only 2 games next week, Tuesday and Saturday so plenty of time for Khris to participate in an actual practice. But I'm not holding my breath.

[Jackhammer3375]

Ill believe it when I see it, but between the long homestand this week and all the off days next week, thats a lot of time for Khris to work. Next Saturday at home against the Wizards does make sense for a season debut.

He's easily an NBA player right now watching him in the g-league. Team's being stubborn.

Always surprised by Livingston's deceptive athleticism. Guy is built like the wing version of Z-Bo, so it's jarring when he all of a sudden uncorks one of those vicious tomahawk dunks on some poor G-league dude. Think his issue is more that he's a classic tweener and we've been conditioned in the era of small-ball to think that doesn't really matter anymore. Still think he needs to develop into something more on offense than a hustle dunker spot guy at his size.

[BUCKnation]

Isn't he avg like 25 a game for the Herd. It's hard to find stats for G League apparently (at least for me), but I never really expected him to be much of a scorer, even at that level.

[raferfenix]

If we're trying to trade Bobby having him sit for Chris Livingston or whoever else wouldn't help.

He's at least as good of an offensive player as Dre & his versatility is a positive. Can guard 4 down to 1 even maybe. I mean he was checking Clarkson & Pritchard when nobody on the Bucks could do anything w/ them. Asset to rebounding.

Talking up Green's defense.

[Frank Nova]

If Livingston just plays within the rhythm of the offense, hustles and challenges scorers in the paint and at the rim, he’s already better than Bobby Portis is in terms of schematic fit.

Can Bobby light up a box score on a hot shooting night and grab 10+ rebounds? Absolutely he can and there’s obvious value there but for the millionth time, he’s a rhythm killer on offensive and doormat on defense so there’s nothing to suggest he’s not easily replaceable. His empty counting stats would look better for Giannis/Dame/Khris if they can get an uptick in usage when the 3 of them can get back on the court together..
