If Cam Reddish could dribble, shoot or pass he would be perfect

He wants to start, He is 40 and a tool.

He can start... KPJ at 2 and GTJ or AJG as the 3.. plenty of length underneath

We need to find out if KPJ is a long term fit with Giannis. The value of Paul is leading the second unit and holding serve in non Giannis minutes picking and rolling with Sims. If Paul can’t deal with that at his age then I want nothing to do with him, that is the role we need him for

We cannot get CP3. He plays wayyyyyyy too slow. Also, there's literally zero point in starting a midget PG who's best attribute is running the PnR...when we just saw that Giannis absolutely sucks when paired with ball screen PGs. We obviously need another guard who can handle the ball and make decisions because right now we are easily worst in the league at that spot bar none, but it ain't CP3.

The Heat wanting the sun and moon for Wiggins right now makes some sense to me. None of these hypotheticals that are getting bandied about make the Heat appreciably better for next season and so I think it makes sense to be content to let the first half of the season play out and see what the market will be in January and February. I doubt it'll be much different but they have no reason to have a sense of urgency.

We don't need to get smaller, or bigger, we need to get in-betweener. That's the way the game is going for switchability & we're operating at a deficit, even relative to history. Michael Jordan was 6'6. That's the classic height. We got 1 guy around that (Ajax), and he's the anti-MJ.

Outside of trades there are little to no decent wings left that are gonna be vet mins. Our 3 guard lineups did really well and the better more affordable players that remain are guards. Also more mid tier forwards leaves the door open more for Doc to start TP at the 2.

What happened to him last year? Can he defend?

We lose Kuz' salary slot for the last necessary big move to acquire a much worse contract? Sign me up!

Correct, Grant is better than Kuzma but that contract is so bad. If they gave us our picks from the Dame trade back then sure.

Lotta throwback names on that SL roster. Good to see tournament legend Nowell and KBD around.

Seems unlikely Rollins would be ready but id assume he’d be on this roster if he got resigned and was good to go

To boot, Grant is worse than Kuzma if the latter reverts to career norms, let alone accepts a role finally. Whereas Grant's just cooked.

I’d take CP3 because while it adds to our age it also adds to our BBIQ which is shockingly low including our coach.

I think Rollins has graduated from this, unless we'd ask him to do it to for the team to not be so atrocious.

This is legitimately disrespectful to Ajax though, and deservedly so.

Sam Merril was playing summer league at like 26

Beasley was like 32

Marjon played in 3 summer leagues and look how he turned out...

BUCKnation · Post #1216 » by **BUCKnation** » Fri Jul 4, 2025 1:16 am

Eh, they can do SL and just not really play. Aj was on that team a couple of years ago and played in like 2 games. Even on a real contract now like Rollins will be, he’s still fresh off a 2 way

Yeah. The Kuz move has to be a home run or this entire thing is doomed.

Ajax sorta sucks so he should be playing summer league. He's closer to being out of the league than he is to being a rotation piece for a contending team IMO.

ReginaldDwight · Post #1219 » by **ReginaldDwight** » Fri Jul 4, 2025 1:23 am

AJJ is a scrub his only positive trait is playing hard but it often only looks like that because hes so out of control out there. Darvin Hams kid played at UWM a few years ago and he had a similar game.

Livingston is on there. Good chance he gets Booyah's 2-way after this.

That's even a more shambolic group than we usually produce. A lot of mid big guy prospects, little wings & guards. Beta testing jumbo ball? I'm sure I'll regret watching as much of it as I will.

Yeah I can't wait for Summer League, despite the fact that the Bucks will once again field an awful team.

Time for Tyler Smith to make his move.

Interesting that he's still the youngest there besides Bogo
