Trade Targets (postcript on yesterday-other teams)

[xTitan]

If the plan is to overpay Knight I'd much rather acquire Lawson and let Knight walk. Lawson is a better player.

I have zero interest in Lawson, tiny, just not an answer, I'd rather have Giannis running the point and getting a longer combo guard.

[Matches Malone]

If Henson is being dangled for someone like Jackson or Lawson, I can't imagine they wouldn't then go after Kanter harder by using Knight or Middleton. I'd absolutely hate a Middleton/Kanter swap but if we could move Henson for Lawson and then Knight for Kanter I'd be down.

Ty Lawson
Khris Middleton
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Jared Dudley
Enes Kanter

The question should be, who are you more comfortable paying $22 mil next year Lawson/Middleton or knight/Middleton?

Don't trade for Lawson, let Knight walk, give Mids 4/40 and draft Tyus Jones. Sounds like a better plan.

[Garbs_7]

I would much more comfortable paying Lawson and Middleton 22mil than Knight and Middleton. I just think Ty is a better player and more likely to help us win a playoff series in the future.

Don't traed for Lawson, let Knight walk, give Mids 4/40 and draft Tyus Jones. Sounds like a better plan.

I'm all over that as well.

[Prince12]

I don't think Tyus last to us anyway, I think he's stock rises and goes before our pick which will likely be 17-18. I like the idea though.

Because being tiny has really hurt Lawson up to this point in his career.

The Nuggets play the Bucks here on Friday. Lawson would be able to theoretically travel with the Nuggets. What an awkward plane ride that would be.

Excellent. Well I Like Ike it is. Where's he at?! lol

If you feel like creepily reading all of his posts, here's a good place to start...

Can I just read them normally or do I have to be creepy about it?

Creepy is best. No lights. Down to your briefs. Light a candle.

We can trade for Lawson and do everything else you want. This team is trending upward and anyone we draft this year won't be ready to start.

He's never let that really affect him though. He's no Earl Boykins who's size affects him to the point he becomes a liability. He is just under 6"1 with shoes, strong nuggety type and very athletic. I don't think his size is a huge issue, especially with some of the guys we will have around him.

Jones will.

Sadly, the more our wins keep racking up, the less likely we'll have a chance at Jones.

*edit* I see I just repeated what Prince said

[Garbs_7]

Trade for Lawson, let Knight walk (we aren't trading him now anyway, at best a S&T) and draft a quality PG in the next draft to develop as backup PG behind Lawson. If he is good enough to take over, we can trade Lawson next offseason (2016) who will still have value and have our young PG take over in his sophomore season.

[Garden Of Edens]

For the people who think Middleton is going to get and want to pay him close to 10mil a year are delusional. Please stop we can't afford another failed contract signing.

[Treebeard]

How much of this public show of interest in Kanter, Lawson, & Jackson is real vs mis-direction? The mis-direction part is more to show other teams that the Bucks (and others) have options and are working on them. Could the real targets be someone not readily discussed so far? Like the Knight-Ersan/Houston combos

[Garbs_7]

Will the Sanders buy out be official in time to give us a free roster spot before the deadline?

[LUKE23]

I'd pay him that before Knight and I'd say odds he gets an offer that high are near 50%.

Awkward timing re: the Bucks open practice tomorrow from 11:30 - 1:30 eh?
