I'm oddly calm and confident that the Bucks won't do anything too rash or that might jeopardize the future of this team. Very weird.

To keep him until summer where they let him go right?

I've come around to appreciate Knight more, but they cannot overpay him either. I would love to know what has been offered - if it's real offers, or just chumming the waters.....

Literally, who is asking? Houston - as "plan B" in the Dragic sweepstakes? Miami as a relief pitcher for Wade? who else ???

Just a guess, but thinking he could have come up in Kanter talks, on the surface Utah wouldn't need a pg, but he would be one of the better young players they would hope to get back for him.

Keeping Knight is one of those things that will jeopardize the future of this team

Utah and Exum would be a good fit for Knight. For this team I'd probably make that swap.

According to the article, Kidd was impressed by the performance Kanter put on the 2 times he saw him live, and would love to add him... or something?

Teams are testing Milwaukee's resolve to enter restricted free agency with Brandon Knight, league source say. The Bucks have thus far been steadfast in their desire to keep Knight, whose team-high 17.8 points and 5.4 assists per game have been key to positioning them solidly in the sixth playoff spot in the East

Dammit.

Speaking of Knight, I just put it on NBA TV Shaqtin a Fool "Midseason Awards" episode and have seen two Knight clips in the span of a minute. He "won" the Worst Fast Break category and the Worst Pass category.

Explains Kidd's fascination with Ersan. Sounds reminiscent of Kohl trade scouting. :/

Knight/Henson for Kanter/Hood would be cool.

Id rather have knight than Kanter..

Chuck Diesel · Post #5372 » by **Chuck Diesel** » Wed Feb 18, 2015 5:13 am

I'd do Knight/JOB to Houston for Pat Bev, Kostas Papa, rights to Sergio Llull & a 2015 pick swap.

If Utah wants Knight we should insist on Exum.

Dammit.

The deal we will offer or match for BK will make 95% of us :banghead:

for years to come.

If this Kanter stuff is legit, I'm guessing that Kidd is a big factor in trying to get Larry to agree to a buyout.

Dragic getting a $100 million contract is insane to me.

I just don't think Kanter is tough enough.

I am not sure what I feel about Kantner, but the Bucks will need a center next year, going to be interesting.
