1. Get worse for this season - check
2. Trade better young player for worse young player - check
3. Give up pick swap - check

Horst could have just drafted Ryan Dunn to be our big combo forward.

Agreed. He was obviously great in LA. Lets hope he gets back to that type of player.

Read on Twitter


Like I said, it's a leap of faith and not really a bet I would have made personally, but I have to imagine this is the vision (in addition to the cap flexibility this opens up).

I could not possibly care less about how Kuzma likes to dress.

He **** sucks at team basketball.

It was very Bucks to have AJ show something in his first real action and get traded immediately.

Our owners have spent far more than a small market could ever hope for. On this one issue I give them a pass.

Great is a massive stretch but he was at least a promising young player at the time.
