Sterling was hurt and bad during the beginning of the year, but he filled in for Brogdon really well after he got hurt.

Yes, agree

Yeah, Sterling Brown looked like a legit NBA player in the 2nd half of the season. I was actually kind of surprised he didn't get a little more run in the playoffs. I am going into this season pretty optimistic about the Brown/DJ/Donte trio off the bench.

As much as I've gone on about not liking the trade, the off the court aspect of having them together should be fun. We're going to need stuff to distract us from the basketball being played on the court more next season.

I'm gonna miss the 2018-19 Milwaukee Bucks.

I think Lopez this offseason has more value than all of the guys you mentioned had going into last season. (Plus I don’t think Wayne wasn’t signed for the room exception last year?)

Look at who is left on the market at the 2/3, there isn’t much out there. Plus we desperately needed a back up center.

Ellington signed a 1 year 4M dollar deal last season, that number fits within the exception. Obviously we don't know the markets on some of the guys out there yet, but Wes Matthews, Seth Curry, etc are still out there.

I just keep thinking back to when Gasol was literally hugging Brook's arm when he was trying to box out. Especially on that rebound when Middleton just kind of sat there watching under the hoop. Feel like Robin would be a little more physical in that situation.

Okay, the two time Greek League All-Star MVP will join the NBA MVP this season.

He'll be a nice piece in the rotation, but we still need to add another quality wing, IMO.

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

Thanasis makes the team, and we're all calling him Thanos by March. Book it.

I like it. Of course we need a wing still. This is day one. Chips still falling. Hell, Kawhi hasn't even signed yet.

I’m just tired of people acting like Sterling Brown didn’t look like a legit rotation player for the 2nd half of the season. He got exposed in the playoffs a bit, but that was against a legit Boston defense.

The dollars are fine, I like being able to play a kaiju for 48 minutes when necessary, and I'm ecstatic about the meme value.

Get rid of the exclamation points in the title. Posters who aren’t Bucks fans are going to think we’re crazy.

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.

Doing a favor to whom? And in your weird conspiracy land, signing Robin Lopez is some major PR score for the Bucks? What?

I really hope we keep Ersan so he and Robin can take turns beating the **** out of dudes.

2 things:

1. Absolutely they should both have the same haircut to confuse defenses. They should also pick very similar numbers. This would be an unprecedented advantage.

2. They are identical twins, so if Brook can hit 3 pointers there is a good chance that Robin could do it too, with practice. Robin needs to be hoisting long balls all summer.

This could be really interesting.
