Bill Michaels advocating for Russell Westbrook was enough to scare LED off the pursuit.

He’s so...out of touch.

We’re only a few weeks away from Paul Imig being on every 15 minutes to discuss which undrafted FA could vie for a 3rd-string backup center position, a “Packers spotlight” on Danny Vitale, and what Rashan Gary’s body fat percentage is.......wait, that was yesterday’s program?

I have always wondered about Lance because when he plays us, he seems like a pretty decent player, yet he seems to be regarded in the 'trash' bucket by most posters.

He’s a defensively versatile, hard playing, good vibes vet with very limited offense. He’ll stay ready until his number’s called and will know exactly what the game plan is. Kind of guy you wanna have around for when injuries strike and you need a competitive body to play 15 minutes for a few weeks. Ideal minimum contract guy.

I'm not comparing Lance to Thanasis, but that is roughly the same reason I like a guy like Thanasis on the team.

Why didn't the bucks take a chance on Tacko Fall? You can't teach 7'6" 300lbs, and the dude is only gonna get bigger. Could slap Embiid and Horford. Maybe Giannis could teach him a little intensity.

If we were going to compare them I’d say Thanasis is smaller, more of a defensive gambler and way more athletic than Thomas. I’d liken Thanasis to DeAndre Liggins.Thomas is really smart and has eight years experience guarding the top wings and smallish fours in the league. The two were actually teammates for the Knicks a few years back, but Thanasis spent most the season in Westchester.

I’d gladly take Shelvin Mack if we didn’t draft him last year.

Badgerlander · Post #729 » by **Badgerlander** » Tue Jul 9, 2019 11:11 pm

Lance Thomas is 5 years older than Thanasis

Sign DaQuan Jeffries

Cause he's not good? I like him more than most but for now he's a meme. He's going to take lots of time to make him even playable.

Four years. Thomas just turned 30.

I don’t agree but I genuinely love and support your anti Donte corner because I know there’s a chance you’ll be right.

FWIW I think Mack is a rotational player

My bad. Thanasis turns 27 next week, that’s what confused me. Still a four year age gap.

Players his size tend not to be great athletes and struggle in the nba. Guys like Muresan, Bradley, Bol just weren’t that good and I think Tacko falls into this category. Smits and Yao were giants who had good careers but Tacko doesn’t have close to their skill sets. I think we’re fine with the Lopez brothers.

Eh it looks like he hit his speed bump of a peak 4 years ago, rather sign a 38 year old Korver if we are adding a vet

For some reason Bucks were one of the teams listed at the Stoudemire/Monta workout.

Sign Elijah Bryant and Ryan Anderson to min

Rayjon Tucker to 2-way

PG: Bledsoe/Hill/DDV
SG: Matthews/Brown/Bryant
SF: Middleton/Conny/Thanisis
PF: Giannis/Ersan/Anderson/Wilson
C: Lopez/Lopez

Trade Brown at deadline for a pick......sign a buyout guy

This is not a good comparison.
