The story about the Bucks trying to move money and Brooklyn drafting 5 guys in the first has me interested in what the Cam Thomas plan is. We weee heavily linked to him at the trade deadline, and where there is smoke there is fire. We’d have to shed a bit of salary to get to that 4/100 mark he is looking for, but it’s not impossible to get there.

To open up $25 million in cap space? Uh, yeah, it's pretty impossible to get there unless we're just absolutely gutting the roster.

I love Cam Thomas scoring ability but 4/100 is a crazy contract for someone widely known as 1 of the worst defenders in the league. I was all over making a savvy trade for him before last years deadline but a free agent bidding war and an overpay isn’t something I see being a smart move for the Bucks.

Not sure how we could get Rasheer Flemming if we can't buy a pick. Maybe an offer of Tyler Smith and #47. I think the odds of him lasting to #47 are 15% assuming no red flags on him.

Cam Thomas is the wrong Cam you want from Brooklyn.

Im wondering if the Nets keeping all their picks last night will have any sort of ripple effect on them trading Cam Johnson finally?

Would you do the ‘31 1st for both Cams?

Cam Thomas is a FA.
To get Cam Johnson it would need to be Kuzma/2031 1st.

I could see them moving Pat and doing a sign and trade type deal with Bobby for a pick then you do a Kuzma + pick deal with Cam coming in. Cam shares an agent with Giannis and there’s just been too much smoke there, especially with the team needing to bend to Giannis now more than ever. Just a gut feeling that he is somehow in the cards here in Milwaukee.

I was thinking technically two trades. One being a sign and trade where we receive cam Thomas, and then the other where we trade for Cam Johnson.

too bad Amari Williams is so old
still would be pretty happy with him at 47
can talk myself into beleiving there's still some untapped potential due to coming up in the UK where I assume nobody knows anything about how to coach/train -- but he did start playing at like 8 so idk -- would be all in if he was one of those guys who didn't pick up a ball until he was 16
and I'm always a sucker for centers who can pass a bit

I kinda like the Hartenstein comparisons for Amari Williams. Not quite as vertically explosive, but similar touch and a better passer.

Kalkbrenner is pretty skilled, I’m kinda surprised he didn’t go late 1st round. Williams would be solid.
