Woj didn't credit me in his tweet.

Eh. Doesn't hurt to have another big body. Rather have him than Canaan.

He's a pretty good dude I think right? Good locker room guy?

Team now has a daddy. League fcked.

Daddy Pau, Momma Brook, Uncle Ersan, Aunt George, Giannis the Star Child, Snell the meg-like little sister, etc. etc.

really doesn't offer anything on the floor, but I can't believe guys are looking to the Milwaukee Bucks for a chance at a ring.

He's got that Chicago stink on him but I really wish this were like 5 years ago. Still a nice end of bench option guy.

A pro who can score.

And he already has rings.

I know he's 38 and almost dead, but with the way this season is going, I pretty much expect Bud to somehow make something work. Something like 4/6 from three with a key block in Game 4 against the Raps seems realistic.

G hill must be recovering nicely.

He had big role in championship teams, it's good to have some experienced guys even for the locker room.

I didn't realize Pau, on a very limited number of attempts, is a 36.9% three-point shooter. That alone gives him some value on this team, even if he rarely plays.

I'll take the extra vet presence, even if mostly on the pine.

With that said, time to clear out a decade and a half of hating Pau from my head.

Sucks we traded Thon. I’m sure Pau would have liked to have someone around the same age on the team to bond with

Why do we have a transaction/news thread when we end up cluttering the front page with signing threads anyways? lol

Bledsoe is the older brother who isn't afraid to throw some hands to protect his younger siblings.

He's got size and 6 fouls to use on Al Horford if we play the Celtics in the playoffs. Championship experience and can hit an open 3. Solid depth pick-up.

He's a HOF'er, even if washed up. He deserves a thread.

And the story here isn't Pau as much as it is the Bucks are now odds on title favorites with the Warriors.

Going to be fun watching Pau get in his brothers head against the Raptors. Of course this means RoLo needs to get released so he can go to the Warriors to get in Brook's head.

I'd say 3 years too late but he brings a wealth of experience and with two rings, he knows what it takes to win. That has got to count for something being around an aspiring group.
