I do think it's interesting there's reports Dame is elated with the outcome. He never really took to Milwaukee. I certainly won't miss the on-court pouting.
He absolutely killed is at times not getting back on defense. He had his moments but overall he is an extremely overrated player. I still think our team is better off with Jrue than him. Seems like a great human being but I don’t believe he’s a leader or anything like that. Certainly didn’t help that he went to Milwaukee and the refs took away his grift move
Most importantly, our team is better with KPJ than Dame. Dame is the most selfish Buck since Monta. I'm so relieved that the clown who refused to throw lobs to Giannis has been cut

Rollins using the remaining room exception is a lock.imo
Kuz/31 for an actual wing is the only other upgrade out there. I’d keep calling Dumars until he accepts Kuz/31/32swap for Murphy.

Can Murphy play defense?

Really don’t think it is that big of a gamble though considering Gianni’s just needs competent players around him in a depleted east to make it to the finals.
I came to ask a question to just Bucks fans to get your perspective. I was very confident the Jazz and Bucks were going to be trade partners. I really thought the Jazz would send Collins and Sexton for Dame and your 31st pick. It just seemed like the perfect fit. My suspicion is your front office would have done it and it was ours that didn’t do it to have cap space next season. I think the Jazz are stupid to have refused the offer if it was on the table considering I think we are now in year two of the actual rebuild.
That’s a long way of saying knowing what you know now (extending Dame) if that offer was discussed (and I know it had to be because our local radio announcer has a podcast and projects what the front office are thinking all the time) would you guys have taken that offer over extending Dame?
Yeah a 31 unprotected pick sucks to lose. But in a depleted east if you guys also had Collins and Sexton on your roster next season with the addition of Turner I think you would be clear favorites to win it. Maybe not the regular seasons as it takes a minute for teams to get use to playing each other. But both Turner and Collins space the floor and no one can stop Giannis with open driving lanes. And you would have had three large big guys who can defend and rebound on defense. Plus a great fire cracker in Sexton either starting or as the perfect sixth man.
I guess I am just pissed we both didn’t trade as a Jazz fan we need to collect assets, and I truly wanted to see Collins and Sexton next to Giannis and be successful on a winning team.
Anyways…that’s my rant. Wish you guys the best. Rooting for you to come out of the east even if we didn’t make the trade. Peace.

I would've loved to see a healthy Rollins next to KPJ. Let KPJ cook and Rollins has the D.

You don’t have to pair another player with Kuz to trade him for Wiggins. You can save Miami $5M+ in salary this season and send them $7M+ in cash. Their owner is cheap. They might do Kuz/Cash/26swap for Wiggins
I will readily acknowledge that I am the furthest thing from a cap expert so I'm very open to you being right and me being wrong. But based on everything I've read about how, generally, restrictive this system is it seems like the Bucks being able to take back 130% in salary by just cutting a check would not be allowed.
Ignore the cash as part of the trade, that is sweetener like a pick, it doesn’t factor into salary matching. Kuz has unlikely incentives that increase his cap hit enough that you can trade him and be within 125% of Wiggins cap hit. So you can do it straight up. The cash is to talk Miami’s cheap owner into doing it because he’s pocketing that cash.
If you don’t believe me, run it through the Sportrac trade checker.

No one has said we're not resigning him. We had to pull the QO to fit in Turner. I don't know what the plan is but he can still be signed.
