Bucks sign Robin Lopez!!!!

[Allanon23]

Maybe DJ is the one heading out.

Ersan can shoot. And we need shooters.

I’d rather roll the dice on DJ improving tbh.

I as well. It was pretty clear that Robin has fallen off quite a bit in the last year or 2. I guess I can’t believe all the excitement over this. This isn’t 2014 Robin Lopez. I’m not even sure he’s going to at all be a competent backup.

You do realize that this exact sort of statement was made last year when we signed Brook, right? Sometimes a change of scenery is all a player needs.

I can't believe how upset some people in this thread are. He's a damn backup center that we signed for CHEAP.

Could see RoLo being a better 3-point shooter than John Henson at least by the time the season comes around.

[DrWood]

I hope Robin can exceed my expectations as much as his brother did.

[VooDoo7]

Since people are getting their Christmas gifts early - can we please trade for Smart?

And I'm still waiting on Quinn Cook!!! That ship has sailed tho. Wanted him when he was in the DL.

[Wisky4life]

Can't complain

I'm on the record as wanting Robin at the trade deadline. But not with the at this cost. We needed something way better than what Robin will bring with that exception.

On the plus side, I'm sure this signing is gonna feel great for Giannis when we cut Thanasis in 4 months.

Thanasis won’t make the team

That's my point. We're giving good money and valuable roster spots to the Lopez brothers and are about to cut the brother of the best player on the team who happens to be up for an extension 12 months from now.

thanasis sucks, dude.

[DrWood]

so room exception is 4.76 million? I think I'd rather have nerlens for that, if I was considering 5's who can't shoot 3's.

I think it’s just frustration from the fact we are steering away from players that fit Buds system. We desperately need shooters with Brogdon, Mirotic, and likely Ersan gone. It’s a legit concern.

He's trying to appease the Greek God, roster talent be damned.

guarantee robin will be hitting 3s next year.

[emunney]

On behalf of me and PP I ould like to thank you all for your continued support of the Rolo to the Bucks bandwagon over the years.

Remember that time three years ago when we paid 4/$52 for THIRD STRING CENTER?

Hammond was the logjam to team prosperity. Hell, I’d take Rolo over Vuc if I wanted to win games.

Think people just see our opportunities to replace Brogdon dwindling. I firmly believe there will be trades so this doesn't freak me out, but I am still worried that we're bleeding shooters.

[worthlessBucks]

Have to disagree with your twitter PP, you simply can't single out Hammond passing on Brook as the dumbest move in the Hammond era. It was stupid and a gimme for a guy who "didn't have time to prep for the draft" (despite working in an NBA organization in a high capacity previously and getting hired in April, lol), but there are just too many incredibly dumb moves or non moves to proclaim that the stupidest. He's worth his weight in stupid.

[ClassicJack]

I truly believe RoLo, at this stage in his career is a guy that you could have signed him in September for little to nothing. The Bucks were doing a favor and trying to put some good PR lipstick on a day that has a high probability of affecting this franchise in the negative for years to come.

[Dante80]

RoLo is a very good sign. He is a solid Center, we get him for cheap, will fit the team well and also start hitting them threes. Also, the brother memes!!

Thanasis won’t make the team

Greek league MVP will make the team & join the NBA MVP.

Bledsoe/Hill
DDV/Sterling
Khris/Pat
Giannis/Ersan/DJ
Brook/Robin

Is that the roster currently?

Not sure how anyone looks at this roster and blows a load of confidence. Front court looks sexy but that back court is gross and I like DDV. Jeremy Lamb at 3/30 like I said yesterday was our steal but oh well.

Is there a splash play still to be made from us possible?

We have that Indy 1st, 12m TPE? and Ersan whos a serviceable player on a expiring. Can we trade all that together for a starting SG?

I Don’t think the TPE can be combined with other players, Not entirely sure though

He would be going to Boston or the Lakers on this contract by midnight tonight if we didn’t have the brother tie here.

[H2tObes]

Robin didn't decline in the last 2 years, he just played for the Bulls
