The third year for Zaza kills that deal for me. And even more so considering they have Sanders, Udoh, Henson, and Ilyasova. Not a wise allocation of dollars. Bucks fans just can't catch a break.

15 million for Zaza Pachulia. Did the "Most Depressed Fan Base" championship belt arrive in Milwaukee yet? Sacramento sent it 2-day UPS.

MagicTownBaller @MagicTownBaller
LOL at the @Bucks, the franchise that just keeps screwing up! They really need some new management #FireHammond


I put this on my twitter, I'm pretty sure most Bucks fans feel the same. They need to fire that scrub of a GM and hire Troy Weaver from OKC STAT!!!!

Couple quotes came out about him improving a lot in the offseason and that he will be the surprise player for us this year.


It was from what he did in college for me. If we thought McLemore was an elite shooter in college.....Lambo was right there..

He is better then he showed last year in those limited minutes.

IIRC, his calling was spotting up for 3's, but he had some nice plays running pick n' roll with Terrence Jones and Anthony Davis. I was hoping to see more of that. To me, he was surprisingly passive during his stint with us. Not sure if it was a lack of confidence or a lack of opportunity to showcase anything outside of spotting up for 3 in garbage minutes.

I'm rooting for the guy, but there wasn't a whole lot for Lamb to hang his hat on during last season. If I was Borrego, I'd try to put the ball in Lamb's hands to initiate the offense a bit. Get him coming off of picks and give him a green light to shoot if people go under the screen. I believe Lamb would benefit if he had a decent lob target rolling to the basket.

Pachulia seems much older than he really is... how is he only 29yrs old?

He can defend the 3 and 4, is not a natural post scorer but can do it against the 3/4, and can still get you 7-8 boards a night from the SF. He can also rotate from the 3-4 depending on matchups.

im willing to say he can Play Some SF in spurts but to play him there full time would be a Mistake.


I know he can't shoot. I guess I'm describing him as playing whatever Lebron plays. Where he's not guarded often by the opposing 4, usually the 3. I see Lebron is listed as a PF, but I consider him a SF, as I do Smith.

a few things here. 1) Lebron has a Better Jump Shot than smith. 2) Lebron is More athletic than Josh Smith. 3) Lebron goes 250+ while Josh smith is a Paltry 225-230. 4) Lebron is a Much Better Offensive Playmaker than Josh Smith.

Im not saying josh smith isnt a good Player but hes much better fit as a weakside PF defensive Oriented Player. he would be a great fit next to Vuc but he doesnt fit the Henny mold. im just saying the Move doesnt make much sense unless their Planning on trading either Monroe or Drummond.

WHOA at how much Darren Collison got on his deal! That's a steal for the Clippers. If that's Darren's deal, I wonder what Beno Udrih gets...

Some quotes to get hyped (before the draft on the B.S. report):

On Oladipo:

"When he's looking at you, he's nice - but he's also figuring out how to kill you at the same time." - Chad Ford

"This guy's at another level of caring, and trying, and committing, and physicallity and everything." - Bill Simmons

Playing for a contender, Doc Rivers, CP3, and LA had to do something with Collison taking less, right? I can't believe that 2 mill for 2 years was the best Collison could do.

Mil is just headscratching with their moves over the years. Drew Gooden 5 years like $35 mill, and he didnt even play all of last year. Zaza $5 mill.....

Man Mil fans suffer alot.

Thought I would add this since we are on the subject of Doron Lamb. He talks about how is favorite player that he looks to model his game after is Penny Hardaway. Though not current, it is a good glimpse at one of our players.
