Bucks News, Trade Ideas, Transactions - Livingston Back on a 1 Year Deal - Page 76

Coming from Mr. "hit the ground like a rocket ship", I think he's just a weird, incredibly awkward public speaker lol.

Based on people I've known who have the same habit, I would bet that he's a big Energy Drink Guy and occasionally gets a bit out over his skiis verbally.

[M-C-G]

I don't see any evidence for him mailing it in. Dude made moves nobody on the board saw coming. Alien.

LOL you all have to admit that its suspicious that he points out that he is human.

Did anyone take a moment to realize he still has non-human moves, likely witchcraft, to still cast?

[emunney]

It'd be interesting to give Kuminga 3/75 with only the first year guaranteed. That way if we don't like it, at least we're clearing the Kuzma money a year early.

Myles has some experience in the Dark Arts, coming from last year's Pacer voodoo black magic Finals run. Get your human hands dirty, Horts.

If we could pull Kuminga for a 2032 pick swap while dumping Kuzma, do you do it?

"Some level of first-round draft compensation" is an interesting way for Stein to put it.

Yes, and I'd even throw in Tyler but that's just me.

In the recent wiretap (bottom of the realgm ticker) Jon Horst is quoted as saying he's done "everything within my human possible power" to improve the Bucks this offseason. I'd like to point out this is exactly how I think an alien would talk (which would be good news, probably, that Horst was a "Men in Black" type creature using all his galactic wisdom on our behalf). But I'd also like to point out this is also how a guy would talk that was completely mailing it in and not trying at all and using AI to complete interviews.

What is the prevailing thought, around here, do we have an alien genius in our midst, or a depressed Ron Burgandy type wearing a bathrobe and making his intern send out generated quotes?

Well first...AI doesn't sound that bad. Thats not AI talk, it sounds more like a man who is exhausted.

Second, wouldn't the interview be done verbally? How does one use AI in that scenario?

Maybe i missed the joke.

I will say, i dont like hearing him say hes done as much or more than anyone else could. Theres just no way of knowing that and i wish he was aware if that. Its not purely about effort. Its problem solving. Does he think he is the smartest man in the world all of a sudden?

I might if the contract is what I described. But on principle I'd have a hard time paying any cost for a player who I don't think fits with Giannis.

Dont we want to make sure we know whether or not Tyler can hit 43% of his threes before we trade a hypothetically untouchable player?

Kuz and Dre for Naji Marshall and Caleb Martin

Marshall played really well in a lot of areas last year, but why did he shoot the 3 so poorly last year? Did he mess with his form or something?

That I don't know, but he does have the kind of shooting profile where I'd expect consistency to come eventually. He shot well from everywhere else.

I bought two tickets for game six before the series even started at a deep discount thinking "If we win the series, this will be the game."

By the time game 5 was around people were offering me 5-6x the price I paid. I was considering it if they lost game 5 because I did not want to be at the game we lost the championship. That play cemented that I was not going to sell my tickets. Many mocked me but that memory with my son by my side will be worth more than any dollar amount I was being offered.

It's hard to tell which play gives me more chills the Giannis block on Ayton of this.

Also, always overlooked is the fact that CP3 really tried to cut Giannis' legs out from under him and could have ended his career....especially with the injury Giannis had previously suffered vs ATL.

[Ron Swanson]

Yep, how that wasn't a flagrant foul on Paul I'll never understand. Dirtbag piece of ****.

Warriors weighing Kuz or Grayson contracts, woof lulz

[Bernman]

So the set-off to our cap, from the Dame signing, I believe is half the difference between the per annum # & a minimum. So I think it amounts to 5 million more per the final 2 years of his original contract, to be applied starting next offseason.

It's not insignificant to be 5m lower the 2 following yrs for tax & apron purposes, especially when we had 22.5 per in dead cap. That's basically 17.5 now, until the final 2-3 yrs when it goes back up to 22.5.

Yeah I asked Smith if he could get the true figure yet, but this is what he had to say earlier this month.

I think this is more than he expected though. I mean Dame could have signed on a minimum late this yr, if at all. Then 5-10 or MLE. So we got basically an MLE for both years.

He's saying too it doesn't initially apply until the next offseason, then over the course of the contract. So I guess my only remaining question is if then we get the 5m more to spend in the '27 offseason too, even though Dame's contract will have expired. Or is it just during that prior season.

[WiscoKing13]

So does this Dame deal help us at all on the cap at the end of the season?
