I think the Pistons are a nice spot to get off Tony Snell’s bad contract.

I'm down with moving Snell. Feels like if we don't do it now, that contract might be a much harder lift a year from now.

Which has happened now 3 times and is about to again with Jabari back. Same blah results every time inspite of Giannis massively rising the whole time.

Re: Bucks Trade Ideas Thread 2018
I like our chances of coming out on top of a Hornets deal in general.
Whether we keep Kidd much longer or not, this team is entering win now territory.
The Hornets have some solid players who could help us win for at least a few of the crucial seasons when Giannis will be deciding whether he wants to stay here long term.
MKG and Zeller are right in the age window for growing with our team. And Dwight would expire right when we need to open up cap space as Bledsoe / Brogdon / Middleton enter free agency.
Monk or Frank are young and could be good sweetener for taking on an overpaid guy too.

This is why it's dumb for folks to freak out when a guy leaves as a FA.

Re: Bucks Trade Ideas Thread 2018
Kemba seems like a good dude; I've got $5 that if hes traded he goes to the Cavs

Kemba's really really good and easy to root for, hope the Spurs can get him. He deserves to be on a great team.

Re: Bucks Trade Ideas Thread 2018
He's from NYC, not sure if he's the King of it though, so Knicks could get involved here. Their #1 pick from last year as a key piece. He's a bigger G so could theoretically pair with Monk ok. Frank seems to have Bucks DNA too, has to be a big plus Cha seeing that

Re: Bucks Trade Ideas Thread 2018
Do the Bucks have interest in Kemba?
Imagine we would if we're trading Brogdon. Big if there though.

Having gotten Bledsoe already I really don't see it. If that didn't happen I'm sure we'd be all over it.

Re: Bucks Trade Ideas Thread 2018
Who helps us more: Dwight or MKG?
Giannis moves to center if we get MKG presumably.
MKG is younger and under contract for more years. The contract could end up a negative though, and him not being able to shoot is more costly on the wing than from a 5.
But chemistry wise there couldn't be a bigger contrast between him and Howard.

Yikes, the spacing on that team is absolutely horrid.

Re: Bucks Trade Ideas Thread 2018
I know reporters gotta do their thing, but honestly, asking Kemba (who already said he'd be devastated if traded) how he'd feel (again) considering he's building a new house in Charlotte...just seems like a pointless question.

When 3 out of your 5 starters can’t hit from 10 feet out you have a major problem.

Re: Bucks Trade Ideas Thread 2018
Hindsight being 20/20, I wish we could have waited on the Bledsoe deal and seen if we could have made a move for Walker. We could have given them that nice Moose expiring plus picks. Maybe they would have thrown in Dwight too.

Why anyone continues to advocate for and actually "want" Dwight Howard in this teams' locker room is beyond me.

The Bucks still don't have another starting caliber guard on the roster. I think Kemba would add a lot to this team playing alongside Bledsoe if it was doable.
