Kidd is calling the shots, not hambone.

I think Kidd has earned our trust. People this summer were saying the same crap about Jerryd Bayless and he's been a gem for the money. This ship is succeeding or sinking based on Jason Kidd. I'm ok with that.
And this is the first trade deadline in a long time where we are talking about bringing in guys to make the team better over the long haul and not wishing for needed tank trades. I'm enjoying the new era.

You are getting too worried about this Kanter thing.
For the Bucks to be a true contender, they still need to clean the clock of some team in a trade. Acquire a young guy with potential who then develops into an all-star on the Bucks, ala what the Suns did last year with Eric Bledsoe.
Is Kanter going to do that? Probably not, but he's got the potential to do it. So I'm fine if he's the best option to roll the dice on, because we need have a move like this hit to make the leap as a team.

I'm struggling to understand why anyone would think this, as well.

Trade 1: Knight and clips pick (maybe more, Job3) for Lawson and Mcgee
Trade 2: Mayo and Ersan and maybe pick or 2 to SIxers for Jason Richardson and Krilenko Expirings.
We get PG and half-decent C and then just dump RIchardson and Krilenko.
Start next year with a bunch of cash and go out and spend it.
So you are trying to get funding for a new arena, just starting to get some of the fan base a little interested and at least coming back to games on the weekend and you would like to pick up garbage and start over again next year....hmmmmmm don't see that happening.

Middleton has higher upside than Kanter
Kanter is a blackhole offensively and can't defend, you can hope a guy can learn and overcome one of those issues and cover it up if you have to but both? Nah. The guy isn't very smart, he isn't very coachable, he is empty stats and will destroy this team. Giving up Middleton for him would be one of the worst trades of all time.
This is what I am thinking as well. Do people really think we have a contending team? I don't. Improved yes, but not that close to a contending team. I am all for any move that pushes us closer.xTitan wrote:Wonka wrote:Kidd is targeting players who he fancies, even if they may not be good for the team. Enes and Reggie both have had trouble fitting in with their respective teams over their roles/involvement in the offense. So now, for the first time in a long time, we have a Bucks team that seems to genuinely like each other and enjoys playing with each other. I pray Kidd is smart enough to know not to f*ck with the chemistry like that.
Kidd created the chemistry this team has, didn't he? So why would you doubt he knows what he is doing at this point?

I just want to say to you that you're a fan of an incredibly odd assortment of teams, according to your profile.
Bucks/Cubs/Bucs/Stoke/Syracuse? How did that come about?

Kidd is not looking at the ratings. He is looking for players who can take us too the next level.yoshii8 wrote:With tv ratings up 350% and attendance way up I don't think we'll see any of our core young guys traded including Knight and Middleton.
