Yea I fail to see the sense in any of this. Tatum takes different types of 3pt attempts, and Herb+ the Thompson twins are elite POA defenders but can’t shoot for shyt. Murphy wasn’t tasked with guarding out of position at POA all season (or hit by the most screens in the league while playing the most minutes in the league)… so what’s the point here exactly? Also, how do we know he wouldn't cost 5 picks? Bane was just traded for 4 picks and two good players… a starter and solid 6th man.

What are we doing here?


Lying about Mikal to make a point. He's a poor 3pt shooter who shoots better than all stars. But but but....

Mikal played far better than the gibberish talked about him on here. That's a fact.


Some absolutely go overboard in killing his performance last year. But I think most will agree he did not seem to play up to his high talent level and was somewhat inconsistent.

I think that is a fair assessment.

For the record I am not trying to trade him because I don't think he is a good player , it's because I prefer to keep KAT, Brunson and OG and you need to give up a good enough piece to get value back And the value back in theory would create a better overall roster construction for us.

Also if it's OG instead of Bridges and we extend Bridges I am actually pretty fine with that too but I prefer OGs 40% 3 ball and his overall better defense a bit more than Mikal.

That’s the beauty of multi team trades


Bridges, with 2 or all 3 of Mitch and Hart and McBride can definitely turn into quite a few 1st round picks.

And its Giannis so maybe even KAT would be moved for that kind of player. But then you are keeping most of the first group of guys listed.

In any event there are ways to generate a bunch of first round picks.


Ok bro. Do the 6 teams 17 player random picks magic and show me how we can beat an OKC offer for Giannis. :lift:



Giannis doesn’t strike me as the type to pull a 2016 KD… seems cut from a different cloth. He’ll def have a say in where he goes, regardless of having a few years left on his deal.

That’s if he even asks out, which is still leaning towards unlikely. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that there’s zero way the Bucks assemble a title contender next yr with the limited resources they got. If Giannis can’t see that now or doesn’t have the balls to get outta dodge and go to a better team before FA to allow them time to assemble the best roster they can around him, then he’s prob not going anywhere. He’s either too stupid, too scared, or too loyal.

Sure, and I think that blame is largely on Thibs. You can’t play someone out of position, run them into the ground minutes wise to the point where they complain publicly, and have them get beat up on screens like that and expect them to turn around and play like KD on offense while also being the 3rd/4th option. It’s unfair and unrealistic expectations.

Like buying a Porsche 911 to take it off-roading and then complain n talk shyt about it when it doesn’t perform well in the mud. Like how about we take it back on the road where it belongs and see how this thing handles before we write it off?

Giannis is going to (IMO) ask for NYK and MIL will make it happen some time in July or August. The trade will be:

KAT, Mikal, Hart for Giannis, Portis, Kuzma. Could be a 3-way with some of our pieces going elsewhere for alternate returns to MIL. A true blockbuster.

This is the endgame--pairing Giannis with OG and JB. Going for it all for the next 1-3 seasons while the league is still pretty wide open.

Giannis gets his 2nd. Leon and JB get their first.

You heard it here first.

He's not gonna do that. He may give a list of preferences but, he's not going to hamstring the Bucks ability to get a good return for him. That alone pushes us to the end of most lists you can imagine. God forbid he says LAL. We all know they will get him if that's the case. Somehow teams will line up to help that trade happen.

Never say never right?

Whatever we trade for Giannis won't be worth it and will make the team worse. He's a good player, but Bridges + KAT together good?

Plus the guy is like Mitch Robinson at free throws.
SELL THE TEAM, JIM!!! :curse:

Tax MLE for Yabusele, then use vet min on Shamet and Wright.

Let's run it back unless Giannis becomes available in August.

:lol: You never know. Lowkey Durant got nobody on that team and PJ is one of his best friends. And a first for Cam Whitmore isn’t a crazy ask and in line to what we hear they wanted before for him.

This is interesting. However he is not an ideal counterbalance for KAT , not that he wouldn't help but I would still want a better frontcourt defender and rim protector if I went this route.
