That’s definitely a solid option then. I didn’t realize that was a thing.


Well, it usually isn't. The player would need to agree to it, but it's a better development path for the player than going back to Europe.


Disagree, g league is trash compared to europe coaching its just that a “drafted” player will get more minutes with the ball in his hands than in europe where he has to earn minutes. Developmentally though i think college or europe is better than g league hands down. Theres no passing or defense in g league ball. Bogo is way more skilled on both sides of the ball than Smith is at the same age

Whoa now let’s be clear, having Midds back on a vet min vs 30M is the appeal. I’m for Paul as well if he agrees he is a 20 mpg guy off the bench.

Unless this team believes Tyler Smith is a 3, appears to me Prince is the only option there which I don’t love

Honestly with how much players are making in college we should be able to draft and stash in college and just junk the g league

Chis Paul last year

He definitely looks like he still can play but I would want him as a back up pg with KPJ starting to see how he handles more minutes. Does CP3 want a starter role ?

I’ll take both, khris is not washed as a scorer off the bench and at a vet minimum

there isnt any question were better in the short term with Paul.

but im tired of guys saying we dont develop talent when getting a solid to semi solid stack of vet min guys have been exactly what weve been doing every summer since forever. ive been all for it but i think this summer we have to look at rollins and kpj and realize that we need to sink or swim with these two because theyre the best bet moving forward of ever being back on the tiers weve been.

i say no to Paul. Were not gonna win it all with him and reg season I really dont care if we play .500 ball. i want to let some young guys play this year. its sink or swim time

woah...thats a strawman. khris because hes khris and theres that legitimate hope he can slide in and be a difference maker both on and off the court because of his history with us and giannis. hes also like 10 years younger. if he did find a 2nd wind it would be a little different than a 45 yo yacking around

Don’t know which thread to put this in but Skip Bayless actually gets it right about the Bucks and Dame

This does not seem like it makes sense.
Dealing with people who exhibit the "smartest person in the room" syndrome can be a challenge. One approach is to listen their opinion while also encouraging open-mindedness. It's important to create an environment where all voices are valued.

Even if he starts, all you have to do is just manage his mins It’s not like he’s gotta play 35+.

I think CP3 could slide into a role but he'd have to accept it which I don't think he does. I agree the young guys getting burn though they're all fairly versatile and I mean KPJ/Rollins/AJ/Trent could slide in all around 1-3 and there would be minutes left for CP3 if he accepted it. I think he'd help the team on and off the court and aid in development of a lot of guys, hell, even including Giannis. For the record, I think CP3 is an absolute Grade A loser though. Maybe he'd get the "love him on your team, hate him when he's not" but I dunno, I kinda hate him. Pretty much would all rely on what type of player/mentor CP3 would want to be right now. He was kinda awesome with Golden State's second unit. He was a good get for the Spurs last season.

I just listened to some pods about Turner on a plane.

Few things that stuck with me:

- Frank Madden and Locked On Bucks think this team’s ceiling is the second round of the playoffs and were generally lower on the move than I was expecting.

- I do agree with them that so many 6’4 shooting guards doesn’t make sense on the court (accounting for Gary Harris being a favor for Turner’s and his agent) while we have gaping holes at the 1 and 3.

- Bill Simmons saying we should have traded Giannis instead of taking on this long term salary hit just screams out that he doesn’t appreciate how much the Greek Freak means to the fanbase after what we had to go through with Kohl’s Bucks beforehand.

- Perhaps not unrelatedly Simmons emphasized that the Rockets’ offseason (acquiring Capela while extending Adams despite having Sengun at center already) is in part preparation for another big swing at someone like Giannis.

to me hes kinda exacly what wed need if we had jrue and khris sidelined in their prime and coming back mid season but i think we need to learn to play with this new faster pace and he'd be the last thing we'd need for that. plus he takes the ball our of kpj and giannis hands. i think we need to play fast and let those two figure it out without anybody else schnookering them. that needs to be the whole point of the regular season. create some value with a whole new set of guys.

the dream scenario is having rollins, kpj, green, even trent all trying to get paid big dollars after a dynamic season. i could see it happening. we reload all of them and all of a sudden were a young fancy squad with real trade potential too

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
