I can’t believe we have Bro-Ro. This is a great end to this day.

If RoLo can't make 3's are we calling him brick mountain?

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.

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.

I think I'll let Bud decide who fits his system. We aren't done. This is day one of FA. I think Horst and the organization deserve a tiny bit of trust at this point, yeah? After the dark days of Kohl, I fully get why some of you guys will find a negative spin on any decision we make out of fear that we're returning to those times, but this time it's beyond ludicrous. This isn't a Plumlee or Henson signing.

I loved me some Brogdon, but at some point you have to be concerned about his injury history.

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.

You think I give a f*ck about Thanasis?

RoLo is not good and not a good fit for the Bucks' system, but I'd still take him 1000 times over Thon. The Bucks can definitely do worse than Robin Lopez and the Brook deal may have been contingent on Robin signing as well.

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.

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

The brother part + us being 2 games away from the Finals. A bruiser like Lopez will be so refreshing in the Playoffs

I hate the signing from a BB point of view but I can't stop laughing. It's hilarious.

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

I could see them giving him a two way
