Rollins with 2 shoulders next year should be fun

Portis: 3 yr/ PO
KPJ: 2 yr/ PO
Trent: 2 yr/ PO
Prince: 2 yr/ PO
Turner: 4 yr/ PO
Harris: 2 yr/ PO
Sims: 2 yr/ PO
Rollins 3 yr/ PO

Horst has to have obliterated the single season player option record?

Wheew it would've been highly unfortunate to lose a young player with potential who can already contribute as a rotation player on both sides of the ball for nothing.

Yes many will argue Doc should go small with this roster as it stands (but will he?) otherwise:

PG: KPJ, Rollins
SG: GTJ, AJ Green, Gary Harris
SF: Kuzma, Prince, Ajax
PF: Giannis, Bobby, Tyler Smith
C: Turner, Sims

Nice job bringing back Rollins.

If they can somehow find a legit starting caliber SF with the ‘31 1st while dumping Kuzma’s salary (basically our version of Denver’s Cam Johnson/MPJ trade), we’ll be substantially better than everyone thinks.

How is Rollins making more than Gary and KPJ? :lol:

Props to Rollins for not signing the patent team friendly end of year contract. Shame on the bucks for not getting him to sign one of those deals last spring.

Kudos to Horst/player development/some luck on developing at least two regular season players off two ways. Now can we do that with draft picks please?

Bernman · Post #1669 » by **Bernman** » Mon Jul 7, 2025 2:42 am

We have 4 legit rotation guys - KPJ, Trent, Green, Rollins - making a combined 14 million. That helps offset Dame's dead $, at least this yr. Going forward we might have to continue finding underpaid playable guys to potentially contend.

As it stands I don't see any reason to bring Bogi over. Still don't see the point of the Harris signing.

Wonder if we really are in the Beal sweepstakes if Harris waits to sign his deal given he is really at the back of the Bus at that point.

Good bit of business getting him locked up for two cheap years. Trade Kuz for literally anything useful and complete the job Horst. Do it.

He's making less than KPJ. KPJ got 5 and a half per, Rollins 4. They're both making more than Trent though. That full MLE projection was wild.

Awesome news to bring Rollins back. He's the first true development win this organization has had in nearly a decade. I think he has a chance to take a big leap next year when you factor in how young he is and the shoulder injury. The Bucks were able to keep all of their young guys and add Myles Turner without giving up any future firsts. This has been an A offseason

wallus · Post #1674 » by **wallus** » Mon Jul 7, 2025 2:50 am

Now get rid of Kuz and pick up Norm or Grimey and I'll be a believer.

WiscoKing13 · Post #1675 » by **WiscoKing13** » Mon Jul 7, 2025 2:50 am

Given the available FA. I would do Brogdon or Boucher. Value wise I would give Achiuwa a deal.

1st since a year earlier - AJ Green.

The POs for cheap guys don’t bother me a lick. All those guys combined (outside of Turner and Bobby) make like $18m.

Pass me the green

Also looking at that SF rotation someone needs to reach out to Kris to go get bought out....

It's not going to fix it, but it's the best of a bad situation.
