We need to save our assets for playoff players.

No, he basically got mle money.

He got more than MLE. MLE is 14.1. He got 62 over 4, which is 15.5.

Isn’t 14.1 the max for next season’s salary in the MLE but you can start then at that and give them raises through out? So he got max MLE with max raises? Otherwise no idea how the Hawks have cap space for that unless it’s a S&T and they have a TPE.

Who are the Bucks and Hawks talking about?

I wonder if the Bucks would go after Chris Boucher?

I've been on the fence with him like all our guys. Like let's be real, if he didn't score 30+ in two playoff games (to go with single digits in equally as many) are we even talking about full MLE money? He was kinda mediocre all season. Granted a good shooter but not much else, pretty terrible fit with Dame and kinda didn't really show up all season even in a different role. I think he's solid. He's better without the Dame/Brook/Prince lineups but if Ty Jerome got essentially 9 mill a year (and a player option) is Trent pushing that 14 mill a year?

Bobby going to have to learn how to protect the rim.

Probably should have just kept him as the starter for that.

All the ESPN stuff cracks me up.

I can't believe anyone still watches their garbage programming.

Make or break year for Kevin Porter Jr coming up. Can earn a bigger deal next season if he plays well and fits in.

No, NAW, somebody asked how he got more than MLE

Anyone see if ESPN really talked about a Hawks - Bucks trade?

Read on Twitter

He did his best work as a bench guy. I hope we’re looking this year to see if AJG can be a long term starter.

Yeah unless horst has something up his sleeve, he is a regular big that helps you win and eats minutes. Giannis is going to sit 10-17 games and even when he plays there are 30 open min at the 4/5

It''s our best bet to get a sub 30 year old large wing that can compliment Giannis. That along with retaining Trent/Bobby/KPJ will make for a heck of an off season given our limited resources.

If this is real and it's Lauri I think I do it. Tough call. I've always liked him. Maybe not. Yeah, probably not. But maybe.
