Talking about Derek Harper, correct?

Bucks got out ahead of this year’s ago and don’t even have a pick in the 27 draft.

From the Wiz board --- AJ can’t dribble, shoot or pass. He’s great on the break but lacks the fundamentals. He needs to seriously improve his handle and shot

Yep.

He was always going to be a longshot. We shaved a ton of money, got under the 2nd apron, made Turner possible, set ourselves up for one more big move, and all it cost us was a player who would not have contributed here for many years if ever (and probably never).

CP3 to Phoenix next?

There's been talk about him going to LAC in addition to Beal but looking at their depth chart it seems pretty silly if he wants to play even aside from starting.

On the flip side there will be a ton of load management with this crew:

PG: Harden / Kris Dunn
SG: Beal / Bogdanovic
SF: Kawhi / DJJ
PF: John Collins / Batum
C: Zubac / Brook Lopez

Huh. Gambo adamant CP3 is not going to the Suns.

If he goes to the Clippers maybe they make a move to open up space?

Or they just pencil in Harden / Beal / Kawhi / Bogdon to only play half the season -- which they'd no doubt be happy to do if only to do a solid by Paul:

Weird they didnt phrase it this way when the Bucks cut a guy who was out all year and probably wouldn’t have been 100 percent again

That is one ball in LAC for a lot of guys who love to shoot.

I liked the Clippers last year and they performed well and I think they are even better this year. The addition of Collins for Powell was a great move especially after they got a "hand shake" deal with Beal. Collins in the Toppin/Capela role is going to add to their offense but I also think he is going to help their defense tremendously.

Clippers are gonna be fascinating next year. If CP3 goes there they'll have like 6 guys in their rotation who I could see having a decent year or falling off a cliff entirely and it wouldn't surprise me.

10 rebounds per 36 on his career seems like a good defender to me ;).
