Yep, I see all of the guys saying they are out are still here posting..... Embarrassing
None of these posters or "fans" are out. They enjoy being miserable and bitching too much.

Hey fellas…did you know you can make an adult decision to take a break from something, and then return to it later?
Mind-blowing.

Questioning the fandom of the posters on this board because they're passionate and upset about the Bucks direction is a little odd.
You're not even a little upset about what's been happening to the Bucks the past couple years+?

Lessort is a 29 year old playing in Europe who has shown zero interest in coming overseas. Weird for those two guys to be involved at all in the trade but who knows why they did it behind the scenes.
As for MKE as contenders, we're not really there yet, but there is always a chance with Giannis and Dame that we could get hot. The Heat looked like trash 2 years ago in the regular season as a play-in team, almost lost the play-in, then got red hot. With G&D there is no reason that can't happen, although unlikely.
Half the time its just about who is playing the best basketball in May/June and we've shown flashes at times.

If we could have gotten last year's playoff Middleton, we had as good of a chance as anyone to win a champioship. Now we have none.
Except for two games, Middleton looked good-good enough to be a third wheel with his passing and IQ.
Kyle Kuzma has neither the shooting skills, passing skills and IQ even at his peak, let alone his putrid play this season.
And to think that no team would even touch PC to help us get under the apron.

If you want out from a franchise that has spent hundreds of millions trying (unsuccessfully, except once, which is huge) to win championships you can go be a fan of the Hornets or Wizards.

1) Bucks just traded for Kuzma who can play at SF but has size and is better suited at PF
2) Bucks are willing more than ever to become faster and more athletic after trading Midds for Kuz
3) Bucks have none championship nostalgia to keep Brook after parting ways with Bud, Jrue, Midds
4) Giannis just entered his 30s and needs to stop running through people to extend his career
5) Lopez just turned 36, is no longer a DPOY candidate and just kills the possibility to run teams
6) What's to lose?
Cam Johnson seems the perfect target IMO. Similar timeline, contract, pace and size with Kuzma, both have already served as viable 3A/3B options in contenders. You need two big forwards next to Giannis at C to help him with rebounding and not sacrifising his body too much. With Cam/Kuz/Bobby you can have two of those at all times. Johnson provides even more spacing as a 40% career 3p shooter. I expect Kuzma going back to his LA 36% 3p shooting now that he won't be just chucking like he did in DC.
And you also have the piece to make it work. With Sacramento done trading I don't believe the Nets can find a better return than a MIL 2031 FRP. Utah has alreasy set a market of three mid-low firsts for that and Brooklyn would be OK with two of these for Cam. I would even get greedy and ask for the other Cam too for that pick.
Lillard/Thomas
Green/Trent
Johnson/Jackson
Kuzma/Prince
Giannis/Portis
Make it happen Horst!

Lessort has shown interest in the NBA. He broke his leg (badly, disgustingly) a couple months ago but is expected to make a full recovery.
**** DOG though. Dude hopped off the floor with a compound fracture. Just bizarrely tough.
