Weed. Dude looked stoned all the time while playing in Toronto. He reportedly turned down $15m/yr from us and got the vet min. Looks like he cleaned up in Milwaukee trying to get a new contract. He has regressed since coming in the trade to Toronto. (lack of) Work ethic, ambition, bad habits are his downfall. I'm not sure if he's worth salvaging. How sure can you be that he's now matured?


Just resigned with the Bucks for basically the minimum.

Maybe it was Masai smoking the weed, traded Powell for him and then gave him $18 per year.

Love this signing by the bucks he played great for us down the stretch and in the playoffs should be the starting sg not prince anymore. Prince is a backup forward for us.

Oh you forgot you guys gave us Powell and OG for 1 year of Greivis Vasquez? Thanks! :) Giving GTJ to you was our way of saying thanks for that trade.
