Probably because, like I realized, NBA TV was in commercial for like 10 minutes

This made me wonder if they promised Bobby a starting spot.

Brother, can we do something? If we’re just gonna bring back our own guys, then we better bring back Rollins.

There were alot of decent centers available (Brook, Capela) and some mediocre ones (Kornet, Reed) and the Lakers didn’t get any of them. :lol:

The Bucks really are ESPN's punching bag right now.

They'll likely get Ayton

Milwaukee needs to be ESPN's punching bag so that all of Shams' bull peddling over the past month can be realized and continued. Until Giannis is playing in Milwaukee in October and they look like buffoons yet again.

OK, explain it to me like I'm 5?
I have multiple times....

Bucks only have MLE and TPE to use at this point. Those numbers will be less than the luxury tax.

Giannis - 54,126,450
Dame - 54,126,450
Kuzma - 25,410,605 (apron hit)
Bobby - 13,445,754 (IDK his starting salary, but this is his cap hold)
Connaughton - 9,423,869 (accepted player option)
KPJ - 5,134,000 (BAE)
Ryan Rollins - 2,818,151 (qualifying offer cap hold)
AJ Green - 2,301,587
Ajax - 2,221,677
Livingston - 2,221,677 (unguaranteed)
Sims - 2,178,069 (cap hold)
Tyler Smith - 1,955,377
2nd round pick - 1,272,869 (minimum salary zero year)
-----------
176,636,535

MLE - 14,104,000
-----------
190,740,535

That's over the tax with 1 roster spot open

:dontknow:

Manifesting that we get Trent and Ayton Splitting the MLE

Did the Hawks just price us out of GTJ with the deal they gave to NAW?

giannis and 1 · Post #974 » by **giannis and 1** » Tue Jul 1, 2025 12:13 am

What would it take to bring in Markkanen? Kuzma + Pat + AJG + 31 1st?

They actually need 2 of them. I'm guessing they deal Knecht for 1.

One doesn't really impact the other.

I hope not, though if I’m not mistaken only the Nets have more than the MLE available

NAW is the better player. I had him at full MLE money and would happily offer it if Dame was healthy.

No, he basically got mle money.

They better have. Bobby has been awesome the last 2 years as a starter.
