DanoMac wrote:Q. You selected Antetokounmpo with the 15th pick in last year's draft, taking a chance on the youngest player in the draft, a raw talent from Greece. He has moved into the starting lineup at just 19 years old. Are you happy with your selection?
A. We're really excited. We talked before the season started that we wanted to expose him (to the league) but not overexpose him. We didn't want him to lose confidence and have those around him lose confidence in him. Nearing the end of the exhibition season we looked at our stats and realized he was one of our leading scorers, he was one of our leading rebounders. He was our leading shot blocker. He was leading us in free throws attempted.
Is this how things are evaluated in the FO? That's just such a weird quote. You'd think he'd say something like "he was one of our best players on the floor" or "he showed us a lot"...but he talks about picking up a stat sheet and making a decision solely off that. Is that how playing time is determined? Teh statz? What the hell?

AND THIS AVAILABLE, FOR FREE, ONLINE. ANYONE WITH AN INTERNET CONNECTION has access to a wrinkle of a set several orders of magnitude more advanced than what Drew runs, and as Messina tells it, it's a very basic action.
I hate how we're a franchise stuck chasing batting average while the rest of baseball is getting wise to on base percentage. Oakland's already evolved to fly-ball, switch-hitting, multi-position players. Imagine how far behind we'll be once the Spurs and Rockets evolve.

They're going to **** this up. Imbeciles.
Then Gery said later that another front office guy told him that they realize they can't sign bad attitude players like Stephen Jackson, Maggette, Drew Gooden anymore.
Again, the front office is a cluster ****.

How, with only 8 wins, can this organization lack not just the imagination but the ambition to try out a future seven-footer at point guard? Because there's never been one before? Since when is that an excuse?
It's made even more appalling by their belief that Brandon Knight is a point guard. It's incomprehensible.

Really. The kid just oozes with playmaking capability, and does it in such a precise and deliberate fashion. He really has a preternatural feel for the game. If they don't understand this and really begin to mold the team around him (no matter who they get in the draft), they don't deserve to make a living via the game of basketball.

It's a lot more than that. You'd have to be out of your **** mind to even think about getting rid of this kid. All he had to say was "He's a keeper and someone we're going to build around". Why not make a definitive statement? He's leaving the door open for another Tobias blunder.

I personally like:
Free Giannis
I wish I had the desire to make an accompanying website detailing how infinitely more qualified Giannis is for running the Bucks team. Site Knight's totally unimpressive qualities and metrics. Site the preposterous notion the offseason acquisitions could have led to success with everyone healthy - starting w/ signing an injured Delfino (Good God, people!!). Site how ridiculously outdated and disgusting Drew's offensive and defensive strategies are.
But, honestly, I think it's just easier to wait for Hammond and Co. to trade him given the nature of their incompetence. They probably looked at Tobias' struggles after coming off the IR and thought: "See, we made the right call." I mean, each and every time I think they may just possibly have evolved and learned from their past mistakes...something like this pathetic interview comes out. It's just utter drivel. Completely inconsequential unaccountable drivel.

Yes, dude. Really.
"Potentially" in the context of John Hammond. On the heels of flatly declaring: We didn't intend to play youth. Injuries are the reason we're here. We looked at the stat sheets and said 'Hey, Giannis is leading these categories' derp derp derp...etc. They have NO clue. None. I'm completely fine with calling a spade a spade. Giannis is absolutely the only reason I even have hope for the Bucks. BUT, they don't have the faintest idea of how to use his talents. Until there is a new owner. A new GM. A new coach...I just don't care. I have zero faith this current meddling bunch of dolts can assemble anything given their complete lack of vision and accountability.
I am completely fine separating my nostalgia and history watching the Bucks throughout the 80's until today. I'm just done caring about the absolute incompetence of Kohl and Co. and, particularly, the drivel that spews from John Hammond's mouth. They are 20 years behind the basketball curve. They simply don't get it.
Free Giannis

Hammond has been gushing over Yanni in every interview he's done so far. There's a ton of **** to rip Hammond on but nitpicking one sentence because he didn't use the exact verbiage you wanted and equating it with Yanni being traded like Tobes is pure paranoia. Hammond is not gonna get rid of the only great thing he's done in 7 years.
