PJ Tucker: left in the summer of 2021
Jrue: traded summer of 2023

Those were the other 4 starters on the 2021 championship team.

I think the biggest issue is who has replaced those guys.
Honestly I have no idea who is starting for the Bucks next season. It is looking rough.

After first day of FA all i can say: R.I.P. to Suns and Bucks fans.

Bucks hard capped themself on first apron for Kevin Porter, Prince and Trent. Squeezing MLE and keeping Portis and staying below $195,9M sounds like mission impossible.

Suns are just dead. Wizards and Grizzlies will enjoy that train wrack. Wizards will enjoy it while watching own train wracks ( but that will save them pick).

This has to be a bit.

Monk might be included in the Schroder signing turning the deal into a sign and trade. He isn't the shooter we need, and covers the same strengths that Ivey gives us. Our free agent scope has been a complete blunder or failure. But whether we've been shopping or not though it's probably just that we're the least attractive destination in the league. Just like normal, nobody wants to live in Michigan.

Why has no one made a thread about Mason Plumlee signing in Charlotte.

Currently an AJ Green/Andre Jackson starting back court. Oof.

I like the Micic acquisition. He's no scoring threat, but he's an incredible passer and smart floor general. He averaged 12 and 5.5 as a starter last year.

Sounds like he is getting a buyout. Was done to make cap space.

Surprised by that. Who's playing PG for the Bucks?

I bet we sign someone. But we have Giannis, maybe Ryan Rollins, KPj... pretty thin. Wouldn't mind Exum

Not that he's a PG but i think you all did sign Gary Harris.

Gary Harris is like on his last legs. So injury prone now.

Houston has some success with playing Adams next to Sengun. I think they'll want to capitalize on those two-big lineups to save both Adams and Sengun with Capela filling in on occasion. They are deep enough to withstand it.

It also shifts Amen Thompson primarily to the 2/1 (back-up to FVV for some PG duties) whenever they don't play Reed Sheppard.

I also see super big lineups where Durant is the facilitator. He was expanding his role a bit in Phoenix to facilitate and I see Houston adding elements of that into their offense.
