Bucks News, Transactions, Trade Ideas

Klay is probably one of the few players where I'd say "no thanks" and prefer keeping Kuzma. He could be fine in a 2019-2020 Kyle Korver role, but you're just swapping out one guy who's borderline unplayable offensively in the postseason, with someone who's borderline unplayable defensively. He turns 36 in February and I think the likelihood of him being a waive-and-stretch/buyout candidate a year from now is way too high.

WIth the Fox extension in San Antonio and their recent draft pick additions, does the Vassell contract become one they would look to shed?

We had that rumor about 10 days ago, and I'd really like it to go in motion.

I like KOC. This was a good episode. Has has the proper perspective on the team.

Andre Jackson name drop wasn’t something I saw coming.

We still haven't seen Ajax attack the rim unless it's a fast break.. where is he going with this take?

[midranger]

Kuzma feels like the guy you’d get if you started with Giannis, shrunk him 3 inches, and took away 80% of his basketball ability.

Andre Jackson feels like the guy you’d get if you did the above a second time.

I honestly think he just had a brain freeze and forgot about Porter Jr, and was listing our guards and wings and blurted out AJax. I don’t think he actually thinks AJax will be fratured.

[MartyConlonOnTheRun]

Are we even sure Ajax is still going to be on the team? When is his guarantee date? I'm willing to throw down money he gets let for TA.

[raferfenix]

I mean it’d be pretty sweet if KOC has heard good things about Ajax’s response since the Bucks put his career in jeopardy.

This team definitely could use a defensive stopper (especially an athletic one) on the wing. Ajax just needs to play smarter on D and be less soft attacking the hoop even aside from hitting the occasional corner three.

Of course most likely he’s waived for Thanasis if we don’t do a 2 for 1 trade where he goes, and this is just KOC forgetting how Doc treated him since he lost his starting spot.

Marques hyped Ajax as a Bucks' employee and KOC just went along with it to be amenable.

And IDK anything can be read into it. He's just on the team now. I think there's legs to canning him to re-hire Thanasis, if he still looks like an NBA player when you squint really hard. Otherwise I think they do an our trash for your treasure deal. Nobody realistically could be attached in a 2-for-1.

Maybe. Maybe not. Why would Marques even bother to talk about him in the first place if there wasn't something there.

He's still on the team. They have to be positive, to a degree, about all those players. It's not the venue to poop on them. That's for us to do.

I doubt he's given a directive to hype individual players cuz they're being kept. And if that were the case, he could be told that to pump up his trade value too. There'd be multiple potential motives.

Any chance Charlotte would give up Bridges for Kuzma? He could be our Rasheed. But our gradual transformation into the Jailblazers would be at about 50% on the progress bar

[skbucks1985]

A-Jax's value isn't going to go up based on a few words on an official team podcast. He's very athletic and still young and is making next to no money. That combination is enough for some teams to take a flyer on as an end of the bench guy to see if they can develop him into a rotation player

[emunney]

I'm withholding a sliver of hope for Dre. I'm extremely bearish on his fit with Giannis but I think you can play him with Giannis on the bench. Give him all the minutes you were thinking of giving Prince with Giannis sitting and see if what happens justifies something more.

[tedbrogen]

Bucks clearing doing a pump and dump with Ajax. Almost zero chance he’s on the team as TA will be on the team and is probably more useful based on his motivational abilities since both him and Ajax are not NBA rotational players.

[tedbrogen]

I’m also looking forward to the board’s reaction to TA getting a 1+1 deal with a player option.

It’s 2025. Bring in all the guys who abused women or girls.

Legit. Dude does move like Giannis sometimes. It does give false sense of hope.
