Why do we have to hit a home run with the pick? Is it the bottom of the 9th?

And another team looking to use their pick to dump salary

The Milwaukee Bucks are exploring trade scenarios using the No. 17 pick to unload the contract of Matthew Dellavedova.

Dellavedova is owed $19.2 million over the final two seasons on his deal.

But the Bucks are looking to trade down and not use a deal as an outright salary dump.

The Bucks signed Dellavedova in the 2016 offseason.

The thing with Knox is that we haven't seen how much he dominated those workouts. Givony straight up said he got PG13 vibes where the tape didn't correlate with the workouts. He just looked so much better at the workouts so he obviously is progressing which make sense considering his age.

PG’s tape backed up the hype, though. I remember that draft like it was yesterday.

Again, Mikal D is over-rated, he's long and doesn't get into a good defensive stand, your mama can drive by him although his length helps him recover. B- or B defender at best...slight build.

Best team defender at the wings in a while. Synergy stats back up his elite defense, too. Far better than a “B” defender.

Delly plus #17 for Lance plus #36 plus Cash

Lance's 2nd year is basically non-guaranteed. They save a ton.

Smooke screen or Knox is really the pick?



Sounds like we're trying to make a move for Luka though.

All so we could win a few more games and get the #9 pick.
