Bucks News, Transactions, Trade Ideas: KPJ confirmed ankle sprain after MRI

[ShootingtheJ]

Would GSW do Bobby Portis for Moody and Post? Would the Bucks? Moody is probably the least expensive wing I can thing of who could be available. If they are as high on Will Richard as they seem they could make Moody available.

Moody fits, but I'm not sure he's going to be at his best, he missed the whole offseason with thumb surgery.

I'm holding firm for another few weeks before I'd make any rash trades. Unless it's shipping Kuzma out.

Yep. We no longer have sky high expectations. We aren't the team that should be making a rash move. But we ARE the team who should look to capitalize off another team's urgency.

What we need to do regarding Bobby is to permanently move him to the 4 and Jericho to the bench 5 so he can make up for Bobby’s lack of defensive ability.

But then Kuz becomes an even bigger issue as he's best role is backup 4

Y’all can talk about VJ and that’s nice, but I just want Coward, man.

Right with you here. Coward was my top pick

Our championship team had PJ Tucker flanking Bobby despite how both are at their best at the 4 spot.

I'm sure that's the vision with Kuz (for better or worse) -- not to mention all the other knockoff PJ's Horst has gone for since letting him walk.

Now there's absolutely opportunity cost with those big salary slots for bench guys who should only be playing up or down situationally.

But the Bucks could also end up trading whoever we don't expect to resign btw GTJ / Cole / KPJ for an upgrade at the 3.

Or some other minimum guy or guys (like Ajax / Coffey / Prince / Harris / Sims just not Thanasis) while we take on salary or give out a draft asset as the incentive.

If Kuzma isn't a negative on the court or in the lockerroom it'd at least keep this approach open.

Gotta be patient. Kuz has to stay on the roster til summer time. We can make the final splash move of the Giannis era this summer but not before. Don't have any draft assets. I hope management has talked to Giannis about this.

Kick the tires on Wiseman?

Kick the tires on Wiseman?

Indy was kind of the perfect spot for him. They had time to see development this year while being non-competitive and plenty of playing time if was good enough, but even they cut him.
