ESPN makes it sounds like Dame is going into hospice care:

"....be able to rehab his Achilles tendon in Portland surrounded by his family and choose his next destination on his own time."

Future seems fine. But I'm taking like a half decade break once Giannis leaves.

I mean....OK? We use two second rounders to save a very little bit of money. Must be part of something more?

But I wouldn’t hate giving Kuzma the first half of the year to rehab his value and see if we can get something for him of value or just have him as an appropriately used rotation piece.

If Doc learned to always play two or three of: KPJ, Green, Trent, Rollins and always one or two of: Giannis, Turner, Bobby, Sims

Kuzma and even Prince look at less crappy when they’re used as 8-9th man rotation pieces that every team needs and not played together as a hilariously bad starting 2/3 pairing

…I’ll show myself out

Don’t think this is the wrong mindset, but Kuzma is a small ball 4. You can’t really play him anywhere else. Not sure there’s a lot of opportunity on this team to rehab any value (if it’s even possible at this point)

Awesome news on Sims.

Did we not need Pat for salary in a trade? So i guess we are rolling with Kuzma then?

Front court looking dope as hell.

EDIT: Except Kuzma and Prince obviously. Talking the 34/BP/Sims/Turner

Well yeah, of course. Eventually it's going to come crashing down, but the Bucks need to try to extend the Giannis window as long as possible. They easily could have collapsed things now and hope Giannis stays long term, but they decided to try to keep stretching things out. We've actually been very fortunate as fans that the team has been competitive for as long as it has been. We know what it's like on the other side.

So we spent two 2nds to reduce salary by 1.3M?

Realtors in Charlotte are going to need to step up

There's no **** way we should have to attach two 2nds with Pat to get Micic.

Edit: ok just saw the buyout stuff, that Micic probably won't be here. Still a steep price to get off an expiring who can still play when needed

Not arguing that but the future is going to be significantly worse than anything we’ve experienced before when it all comes crashing down
