Bucks News, Transactions, Trade Ideas - Bucks Open against Middleton/Sign Coffey to Camp Deal

[BUCKnation]

Not sure of the cap mechanics a Bobby for Kuminga trade would have required (Bobby opting in before the trade?) either way seems like a vote of confidence for him beyond Horst not wanting an asset to walk out the door for free.

It is also worth mentioning that the Milwaukee Bucks were another team that kicked around the idea of pursuing Kuminga. If they were to do so, the Warriors made it known they would want Bobby Portis in a sign-and-trade scenario, which is something Milwaukee wasn't willing to do.

The Dubs have held interest in Portis dating back to before the 2024 NBA trade deadline.

And so that leaves the Kings as the sole destination for Kuminga if a sign-and-trade were to develop at this point in the offseason.

1 for 1, the rumored numbers for Kuminga have been slightly above what Bobby actually got, so that makes sense money wise. The other implications of hard caps and all that involved with S&T's, I'm less sure on.

Saw we just signed Amir Coffey

[Ron Swanson]

Nice pickup. Very nice.

SMH. Just waive Ajax and give him a standard contract.

[PG Graveyard]

Amir Coffey couldn’t get anything better than that. I’m calling bs on that.

[Wonka]

Training camp deal? His market must’ve been awful. He was more than solid last year

Doc to Ajax and Amir in training camp

This guy is going to make Milwaukeeans hate Coffee.

On/offs:

'25: -11.5
'24: -10.1
'23: -13.7
'22: -3.3
'21: -10.4

This is as bad as I've seen. Another atrocious rebounder, sub-par on d. It reminds me of when Herb used to sign players cuz they hit shots against us.

We found a guy I'd prefer Ajax over. I hope this is a not a full roster deal.

Amir Coffey is a FANTASTIC pickup. Good shooter, good defender. 6'7" SF/SG. Very pleased. He'll win a regular roster spot during training camp. Ajax can be waived if we don't use him in a trade. Tyler Smith can be waived to make room for Thanasis, if necessary

[DanoMac]

Waiving Tyler Smith right now would be beyond irresponsible

Waiving Tyler Smith right now would be beyond irresponsible

The Chris Livingston signing made me wonder how much the Bucks really like Smith.

Even if Coffey sees the Bucks as his best opportunity to earn a significant role, it seems very strange no other team would offer him a guaranteed deal, if that is actually what’s going on vs the Bucks telling him to sit tight for other business to go down.

[Bernman]

I don't get the irritation to Prince re-signing on a minimum, but then enthusiasm for Coffey. Coffey is a worse, slower version of Prince. He didn't play at all in the last playoffs. The prior playoffs he was terrible. Regular season you could never talk yourself into starting him like Taurean.

[MickeyDavis]

Looks like 10 B2Bs and last year I believe we had 16 or 17

[crkone]

Ah training camp deal. Makes sense.

[soxperry]

Coffey is trash from a winning perspective . There's a reason his market wasnt there.

This is his bball index for the last few seasons, most recent at the bottom.

Doc got a strong recommendation from Ty Lue about KPJ before the trade.

Stands to reason they spoke about Coffey too.

LAC was already out of roster spots much less space in the rotation for another guard/wing.

[Daver]

Maybe this now means kuzma n ajax are both traded in a package for wiggins or barrett

[Ron Swanson]

To say the plus-minus stuff doesn't love him is an understatement, but there's probably a lot going on there given the fact that the Clippers bench was pretty bad across the board, and then throw in that he's always been replacing either Kawhi or Paul Goerge on the floor. He's a big wing that can shoot. Sign me up.
