Just saying maybe we should be optimistic that the Bucks aren't falling over themselves to make a deal.
What is the point of having new ownership if they aren't going to transform the front office into a savvier one? The only reason we wouldn't expect us to transform into a savvier one instantly is they made the decision to keep the decision makers from the Kohl era around. That was their decision, they didn't have to keep Hammond and Morway. Keeping them doesn't lower the bar.
If Hammond, Morway, Babcock, etc were really great executives held down by the evil manipulating Kohl then they should be held to the same high standard we would judge a new group of executives. Being happy they haven't already dashed our hopes by making even more terrible signings than they already have in their time here while chasing this year's version of JR Smith shouldn't be the standard with which to judge these guys, and frankly it never should have been.
You're lashing out at me and addressing all sorts of points that I've never made here.
I apologize for my cautious optimism.
No need to be so sensitive. I just disagree, its not that big of a deal.
You are welcome to be optimistic, I just expect better from our new owners than to take us from one of the worst front offices in the league to merely one that doesn't annually make indefensibly terrible moves. Going from horrific to below average isn't going to keep the team in Milwaukee.
I'm also not writing off the last 6 years of Hammond and pretending they don't exist so I can be optimistic about it. I was placing my disagreement with you in the larger context of the retention of Hammond and the front office. Not sure why you feel that was inappropriate.
