With Mitchell working out, that would at least seem to mean he didn't get a promise at 12 with Detroit, so that is some good news.


Could also mean we've told his agent we've had discussions about moving up.


If Horsts 1st order of business is fleecing a team in the top 12 with Henson and 17 for their pick to draft DMitch, he wins GM of the century in my book.

Maybe that's been the whole schtick all along. Horst was in the background on the down low setting up moves and now something has come to fruition and when he brought it to LED, they said "congratulations you're the new GM of the Milwaukee Bucks".... amiright?!?!


At this point, he might not even officially be the GM by the time the draft starts...I'd be shocked if he makes any moves this first year, but I am excited to see some new fingerprints on this team. Keep Giannis, Thon, Jabari and Brog Dog, keep Middleton unless you are blown away, and maybe keep Vaughn because he has no value but some upside. Anything beyond that go fricken nuts.

Who's our head scout? Is it McKinney? I'd imagine whoever pulls the trigger on the draft selection would pretty much be going entirely off the scouting department's already gathered intel.......at least I hope so.

Bold prediction, if they move up, they take someone other than Fultz. Boston doesn't have bad contracts, but I bet they are talking in case Boston gets a run at one or two max guys to form a super team and wants options to dump salary immediately.

Super interesting. Who does Boston want at 3? Jackson, right?

Interesting. Philly has quite the plethora of draft picks to make some sort of deal and adding Fultz makes their young core super strong moving forward if health doesn't play a major factor.

Now I just read the Lakers are obsessed with Fultz and might try to trade up. Good god Boston is gonna be bathing in assets.

Philly - Fultz
Lakers - Ball, Jackson, or trade
Boston - Jackson

I think those are the priorities.

Sixers moving up makes sense for both teams. Jackson is a better fit in BOS, and Fultz is a better fit in Philly. That trade happening is bad news for the Bucks, it should make both of the teams we should be competing with for the East post LeDecline better.

Word is it's 1 for 3, plus the Lakers 18 first, plus a future philly first. I'm so jealous of Ainge, especially if they land George and/or Hayward.

This is why it's imperative for the Bucks to stop trying to compete with a Cleveland and start trying to match Boston and Philly, pending Giannis' approval of course.

The Sixers are about to add Markelle Fultz to Embiid, Simmons, and Saric by giving up a #3 pick that they have because of a pick swap & a Lakers pick they got by wrecking us in a trade. All Hinkie did was blow it up and tank though.

I like that trade a lot more for Boston then I do Philly.

Been trying to tell you guys- Fultz is hella overrated. Boston picking up the Lakers pick + more would be amazing for them.

Remember when Kidd ordered "best shooter available" and we got Vaughn
This year his order is "best Biyombo available" and we will got Bam Adebayo
