Bucks News, Trade Ideas, Transactions - Rollins Back, 3/$12 million

[CJTURT]

And in 61 minutes in the playoffs against Indiana prince scored six points. And we resigned him? Those are the things that I don’t understand. Can we please sign players who can perform in the playoffs and help Giannis?

[RiotPunch]

Yeah, Prince back is ass backwards from what Horst should be doing to moneyball Doc.

[CJTURT]

This off-season has exceeded my expectations for sure, but I remain concerned that Porter is our second best creator. Really hope he's up to the task. I don't think we really have a better option outside of trading all of our remaining assets but it is nerve-racking still that we are currently relying on probably him or Kuzma (if you want to argue Trent over Kuzma, I get it, but it's not great either way) to be our go-to guy after Giannis.

Going to have to hope this team is greater than the sum of its parts, which hasn't been our forte in recent years.

Again though, I think this off-season has gone better than anyone could have reasonably expected.

A creator as far as creating his own shot or is creating shots for other players?

Loving this off season.

I think Prince is going to be utilized as a regular season minutes eater and little more.

Pass me the green

Wot? Paul's in his 40's. There's nothing outlandish about that statement. Rollins was already a dog on d, he got quick hooked for 1 game that wasn't so good offensively, and most our guys who came good struggled their 1st playoffs (Giannis, Trent, Green, etc.).

This is how simple this all is. PLAYOFFS!!! Who is going to perform in the playoffs? It’s a whole different beast. I don’t give a crap what Ryan Rollins does when the games don’t matter. You saw what happened to Kuzma when it mattered … He was unplayable. Did anybody see Ryan Rollins? All I give a crap about is winning playoff games. That’s what this is all about. If Ryan Rollins is that guy that’s gonna get us over that hump then I will eat a big fat crow.

Kuzma struggled in the regular season too. He had previously been a contributor to a championship.

There are factors that go in to probability. One in the negative direction would be age, for Paul. It's a positive for Rollins. He's not so green anymore. When AJ was, he stunk. This playoffs he killed it. Rollins can, and probably will, do similar, especially after fixing his dislocated shoulder.

Paul probably won’t come here. I hope he does. The one thing about Paul is…. If you look at his assist to turnover ratio. It’s always good. His defensive efficiency dropped a little bit last year. I think it was 17. But they were tanking. He’s very crafty with the ball. He’s not a me first big mouth player Like dame . Paul is kind of like TJ McConnell. He will just do all the little things. Efficient. I like Ryan Rollins, but I don’t know if I would want to depend on him In the eastern conference finals.

[CJTURT]

^^^^. I will also say furthermore, that Paul would be kind of like PJ Tucker. He’s just one of those guys that makes the wheels spin

[PG Graveyard]

Loving this off season.

It’s amazing how everyone on this board feels about it thus far and then you see the media just hammering us. On top of that we still have a move or two to make yet. Really good job so far.

[ShootingtheJ]

I feel like we should be focused on the SF so we don’t need Prince playing 35 mpg. Do you see him as a 3?

A true wing, 2/3. Versatile, switchable.

Grimes hasn't be able to stay with any team. He played 28 games for the 76ers and his career numbers are pedestrian.

If he wants a slightly higher pay day than KPJ, because he has less baggage, then sure. But at 25 million, that is absurd. He's already been on four teams in four years.

25 million is for proven players. Now, Horst has shown he can be dumb, ala Kuzma, but I don't think he'd commit to a guy like Grimes with big money and a long contract. I hope.

Teams are fully aware of how players can blossom once they get out from under Thibs, especially the Bucks.

This is definitely turned out to be a good year in my opinion. We got off of Damian Lillard. That right there is absolutely huge. We just need a bunch of guys who are dedicated work their ass off Play their ass off And fit The best basketball player in our generation. Giannis. If they could all get on his level. We will raise another trophy. But we will never do that with a selfish ass prick like dame . Ask Carmelo Anthony how that worked out . Guys like that don’t win championships

Kpj is good as a creator both for himself and for others.

Prince was played as a sg especially in the playoffs. He is a sf and should perform better at that position.

Harris doesn’t appeal to me much. I would like Bogo to play. The word “stashed” in Europe sounds rather demeaning to me in any case.

I hope we get Beal without giving up a 1st round pick.

[Chad34]

Any chance Turner is pulling the rug from beneath the Bucks? Or is this 100 percent in the bag

Bogo I hope shows out in summer league . Super excited to watch him play

Monitoring both Kuminga as a buy low target as well as Sacramento as a Kuzma destination if they miss out.

Kings have been strongest pursuer of Warriors’ wing, but nothing has come close.

I keep forgetting we have Gary Harris now. Such a random signing.

Yes.

Ultimately someone aside from Giannis is going to have to step up and do a decent amount of creating. Guys like Green and Trent are obviously very good shooters but they aren't the types to bend the defense and create advantages.

We are going to need Porter to become more consistent than he's ever been before or for Kuzma to be a hell of a lot better than he was last season (or alternatively, Doc to be deep in his bag drawing up creative offensive sets which feels like the longest shot of the 3).

So this begs the question? Would you rather have Ryan Rollins being that guy? Or Chris Paul? Sorry guys, I had to do it
