For all who lack brotherly love, let me point out that the late Tommie Aaron is listening from above and taking names.

The guy has played in the league before and did as well as Bonzi Colson at least in the d-league, he's not just some total scrub off the streets. Thanasis on the Herd would probably be good for business too.

Considering he’s the 9th man on his team in Europe I don’t think it’s an extreme at all.

LMAO, Pau Gasol contributed literally nothing on the court.

Pau was a hall of famer who everyone said was great to have around and receive wisdom from. Tangible value. He also got hurt. Apples and oranges. Thanasis is neither a wise vet, developmental prospect nor capable contributor.

You're right, he just so happens to be the older brother of the greatest player we've had since Oscar & Kareem. Are you brain dead as to the true purpose of this signing? Get a clue.

Lmao we all see the reason. Some people don’t like the precedent that nepotism sets. Shocker I know

Newsflash: Nepotism runs rampant throughout the Bucks front office. If doing it to help keep their superstar makes you all upset, you have bigger problems.

Imagine being this upset about a 15th man signing. Who's the real simpleton here?

Thanasis is going to be an awesome human victory cigar. Watching him windmill dunk when we’re up 20 is going to put a massive smile on my face.

This team played Jorge Gutierrez significant minutes a few years ago…

Thanasis was 12th in MPG for Panathinaikos last year during the Euroleague. His team lost to eventual champion Real Madrid in the Final Four in the playoffs. Thanassis scored 0 points in 26 total minutes in the three games against Real Madrid.

I just think it's an overreaction, there have definitely been worse guys to don a Bucks jersey and in the league right now.

We've had sooooo many scrubs over the years. Getting minutes!! This is such a non-issue.

By no means is this meaningless but it's not as dispositive as you're implying.

I’m really not “upset.” I enjoy talking about Bucks transactions on a forum specifically designed to do so. Have since 2004. The only people who are ever really upset are those who charge others with being upset.

He came in hot calling me “brain dead” bro. I know you agree with him on this specific issue but you know his energy sucks.

Right. All the pain and suffering this fanbase has agonized through and here we are bickering about signing a guy who, despite other people's opinions, will need need to EARN any playing time he gets.

Do people honestly think Bud isn't going to play the best guys he has?

Get a grip, people.

Maybe if you thought rationally you wouldn't get called out. And my "energy" is just fine, thank you. Have a nice Sunday!

Yeah I don’t know how you can blame Chuck. The guy came in with a terrible insult and Chuck responded with an equally terrible insult. It’s not that big
