Don't trust Butler. Just feel like he won't make a difference.

Jimmy gonna be responsible for the end of Bud, Jrue, and Khris's Bucks careers. And probably Horst. And maybe Giannis too if things get weird.

Any interest in a Jerami Grant for Middleton swap?

I'm getting to the point where I dont care. The Giannis, Khris, Brook, Bobby, and Pat core needs to go. This is going to be a Favre-Rodgers situation where you have the best player but only win one championship.

Not if a 1st is involved. Maybe a swap? Grant just isn't worth it, IMO.

Midds did nothing tonight to quiet the Stein report. Bobby being out also suspicious. It may be coming boys. Giannis, Dame, Jimmy. Lets go win a Title.

Was thinking just a swap.

Cronin probably won’t do it, but I would. Wouldn’t fault Bucks fans for not doing it.

Bucks gotta sign Rollins to a real contract, right?

Jimmy will either be our Rasheed Wallace or our Anthony Mason.

Gary Payton. But at least we won't be trading prime Ray Allen for him.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I went through the Heat Forum. They want expirings and draft picks for Jimmy.

Some mixed on Fox and most were out on Beal. We came up a little, but i dont think they want no legs Middleton anywhere near their team.

Of course Heat fans aren’t going to want Middleton. If he was on another team, nobody here would be coming up with trade ideas to bring him to Milwaukee.

At least he won’t be playing out of position if we get him. Cassell / Payton backcourt was so stupid.

They won't.. Jimmy's a monster and imagine how pissed he'll be in that series

Wondering what Jimmy’s emotions are going to be on a day-to-day basis will be the new pre-game hot topic. Hell, he might be sitting out by that series. :dontknow:

Maybe Horst will do Jimmy a solid and make every year of his extension be a player option NTC.

Angry, motivated Jimmy is the best chance to get to the finals. He greatly improves this team’s title chances by improving their weakest position (starting SF) and biggest playoff need (wing defense). Give him a promise of a two year max extension in the offseason with a third year team option and he’ll be all in. He does care about winning a title.

The team as currently constructed only makes the finals if Giannis does an absolute carry job for a couple rounds along with winning the three point shooting variance then Dame goes nuclear for a round.

Jimmy gives them the path of winning rock fights like in 2021 and having three guys who can generate a ton of free throws.

I’m not banking on anything from Midds because it doesn’t appear he can even bring it two games in a row let alone for multiple playoff rounds.

It doesn’t matter if Heat fans want him. Does Riley value Bobby + Midds enough to unload Butler? Reasons why he might: neither is signed beyond next season (this is why he won’t take Beal/Lavine/Wiggins) and both might help them get to the playoffs this year via production and/or not being malcontents which means they convey their lottery protected pick to OKC this year and it doesn’t become unprotected next year.

I’d send brook out instead of Midds if possible.


Not possible unfortunately in terms of $$$
