Bucks News, Transactions, Trade Ideas - Jon Horst the Wizard

I mean, RIP "Center Giannis" though. Doc is still here and it's clear that we're gonna be playing just as many jumbo lineups as ever, because we've somehow committed even more money to the frontcourt lol.

Giannis don’t want to play center. That’s been clear for a decade.

Turner is a dream fit with Giannis. Literally brings most of Brooks good attributes but can move.

Giannis, Turner, Bobby, Sims front court is a beautiful mix of attributes and fit. I love it.

Surely this is a win win for Dame and Giannis.

Giannis gets another high level player this year instead of having to wait out Dame's rehab and see how he looks in 2026.

Dame still gets paid and once recovered chooses where he wants to play and finish his career, IE Miami.

Can't imagine any party is truly upset with this.

And the owners are willing to spend a massive amount of money paying Dame and Turner for the opportunity of another championship. That’s also very important.

Many of you guys were upset at Horst getting his extension last offseason. Look at how well he’s managed Giannis and the owners. Horst is a good GM (not great), and we could do wayyyy worse.

Creative move but feel like we need one more guard/wing upgrade to actually give us a shot this year.

Free agent forward Gary Harris has agreed to a two-year deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, with a player option on the second season, sources tell ESPN. Bucks continue to fortify the roster with a veteran wing who played key rotation roles for playoff teams in Denver and Orlando.

[Frank Nova]

Im no mathematician but from my calculations we still need a PG and a wing. Oh and if Kuzma can gtfoh too, that would be lovely.

Mike Conley maybe? Don’t love it, don’t loathe it.

[jschligs]

Hope its the min. Don't love Harris anymore.

That one is underwhelming.

[PG Graveyard]

What else do we have left in the clip to fire?

A Pat C trade. Horst works magic.

[jakecronus8]

Gary Harris? Ehhhh

[MartyConlonOnTheRun]

Expectations are lower but are we close in actual performance when comparing to the team than at this point last year?
Turner vs Lopez
KPj vs dame
Kuz vs Midds

[Wonka]

Lol 3-4 years too late on Gary Harris

[Ruben Quevedo]

Dude just wilted in the finals in a front court matchup he should have won handily. Indy management was not going to bring him back after that. A Bum. Lucrative business jacking up 3s and not getting rebounds at 7 feet.

He's a limited player who is better theoretically than in actuality. Siakam fought like a lion against OKC and the difference in toughness between him and Turner was noticeable.

I would love to know what Pacers fans think of him.

Turner was night and day better against us in the playoffs at the center position. I was wondering why that couldn't be us watching Turner play. Also he did great against the Cavs big men.

Turner always seemed to cook us, but they would spam the pick and pop with Brook in the game and that plays right into his hands. OKC took that away and he had nothing else to offer. The defensive mobility is a plus for sure. But he's worse than Brook at protecting the rim and he's worse for team rebounding. Both can be impact players in the right matchups, but both are limited. I'd rather have Brook at cost.

[PG Graveyard]

Lukewarm on Gary Harris. Oh well. Has to be the minimum

[JEIS]

Bucks could sign Dame again.... Maybe Horst is working the system. If Dame isn't claimed, he could be back.

That would be pretty slick. Work over the system.

[engelmartin]

Now that’s what I call moving money around. Does stretching Dame free up any extra money as well?

We all know this. The issue is that we're basically tripling down on the jumbo frontcourt idea, rather than what everyone apparently wanted going into this offseason. I'm kinda excited because I think the "death lineup" stuff was massive hyperbole, but it's just interesting seeing the reactions here.

[ABucksFan]

What is Horst cooking lol
