I'd do Parker/Delly/Henson for Whiteside easily.

Doubt Miami would agree to take those guys back.

I honestly think Jabari is extremely jealous of Giannis and wants to come back ASAP so he can steal the spotlight

I agree. And he's definitely not going to pass to Giannis on Friday because of that jealousy.

And rightfully so, Giannis has been acting like a total jerk ever since he began winning us basketball games and needs to be taken down a peg

This is all green font right? He was planning on coming back this period anyways. Was he supposed to wait until the win streak is over? If we win ten straight should we just cut him?

And do you really think that jabari is pushing the promotions and in game interview? I heard he preferred to start later on the road. The guy hates attention and holding the mic. This was all bucks PR.

Dumb post. Doubtful that anyone is going to jump on Jabari if he has a bad game on Friday.

Haha. Maybe a little strong on the first go-round

I'm going to wait to comment on jealousy until I see the if the high fives and chest bumps look genuine.

If Jabari can hit 3s like he was last season then this should easily be a top 5 offense.

If he looks tentative or shoots poorly there will be at least one person throwing around I told you so's as fast as he can type them.

And that person will be trolling. They won't actually mean it.

Nah, I think you know if he stinks one or two guys will happily let everyone know about it.

Wonka · Post #1391 » by **Wonka** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 7:21 pm

I think we are going to see a whole new Jabari once he gets into the flow of things. Just him being in terrific physical shape is going to make a big difference in his game and career going forward

TERRIBLE FITS!!!!

A much better fit would be if Giannis could rest while Jabari does ISO and Jabari could jog almost to half court but not cross it in transition. Turrrible fit.

After 1 game? I seriously doubt it. After 10 or 12, sure.

I'm not exactly captain of the Jabari fan club, but I'm not making any judgments about his future off of anything really before Mid-March anyway. And even that seems ridiculous, but it's not as if we have a lot of time.

And Middleton is going to be jealous of not being a part of their jealousy fight so he's not going to pass to either of them.

I hope the plan is to use him off the bench and try pairing him with Bledsoe for some fast paced fun and Brogdon as the half court duo (a la BroMoose or whatever they were). I agree though, we really need to be patient and let things play out, but this board sucks balls at that including myself.

Bucks plan to give Jabari Parker 15 minutes in return

Forgot how much of highlight reel these two were together

I kind of forgot how amazing Jabari was at working the baseline.

I think that the Bucks best chance for a second superstar IS Parker. Not using him as a trade chip since we can use our own picks to mine for talent. He's as naturally gifted as a ball player as just about any Bucks player that we've ever had. His floor is already high. He'll continue to develop and improve just like Giannis has. I mean, looking at their peer group across the league (age 20-24) how many young players can we say will have a better chance at being a star/superstar than healthy Jabari Parker? I'd imagine not many. Fortunately we have some time to see if he regains his form and then continues his progression upwards.
