What a joke. Is he on the OJ Mayo cocktail? Codeine and coke?

The Bucks lost the third most value this offseason according ESPN's WAR calculations.

28. Milwaukee Bucks
WAR added: +5.5 | WAR lost: -11.1 (-5.6)

Top additions: C-F Myles Turner (2.9), G Gary Harris (1.2), G Cole Anthony (1.2)

Top losses: G Damian Lillard (7.0), C Brook Lopez (3.5), G Pat Connaughton (0.6)

The Bucks land here with the dissolution of the Lillard-Giannis Antetokounmpo alliance after an underwhelming two-year run, during which they won only three playoff games across a pair of first-round exits, with both stars struggling to stay healthy at different times. But say what you will, Lillard was productive in both of his regular seasons in Milwaukee, amassing 13.7 total WAR across 2023-24 and 2024-25. Now the Bucks will move forward with Turner, to whom they signed a four-year, $107 million contract in the hopes he replicates his solid averages of 17 points and 7 boards from the past three seasons alongside Giannis in a new partnership.

All stats have pros and cons. People find stats that fit their opinions and trash stats that don't fit their opinions.

They're talking Coffey up to help him get a job. He won't be here.

Good god just let Kuzma appear playable so we can use his salary without it being a negative value

He shot 47% and 41% from 3 last yr if he shows he can play good defense while shooting like that he ain’t going anywhere but Jackson might be though if he don’t show any improvement in camp.

Ajax is bum if you can pair him and Kuz for a rotation piece you do it instantly.

RiotPunch · Post #1136 » by **RiotPunch** » Fri Oct 3, 2025 3:45 am

I think I'd rather have Coffey, or even a cup of coffee, than I would Kuz.

The depth of this team isnt filled with great players but it feels like they have a lot of playable players.

I think they have 9 rotation locks entering the season

KPJ/Cole
Green/Rollins
Trent/
Giannis/Kuz
Turner/Bobby

That leaves only 1 rotation spot for Prince, Coffey, Sims, and Harris if you assume a 10 man rotation

Having someone like Gary Harris as your 13th guy is pretty solid depth for when injuries inevitably occur

Aside from Porter, Rivers has chosen not to give out further details on the starting lineup. Kuzma even said Wednesday that Rivers had not yet discussed his specific role with him.

Kuzma: "Coach, what do you got for me? What is going to be my new role in the team?"
Rivers: "****, you're still here? I thought we shipped you to Australia or something, my bad."

Sims needs some minutes with KPJ
