Extra benefit is keeping him away from the Sixers (or Lakers)

Getting Korver back with Bud is great news!

Korver sitting wide open while Giannis draws triple teams is pretty awesome. He may not obviously move like he used to BUT he can still shoot. Great use of the minimum.

Good job Horst
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I am discovering I have absurdly hopeful expectations for Cam Reynolds. I am simply going to allow this dream to exist.

It would appear maybe Bonzi (unlikely me thinks), JR, and the real dark horse and guy that would be an amazing 15th spot grab Vince Carter (nothing to verify Bucks are even considering).

Edit: add Elijah Bryant’s name as well ?

Giannis in the gym working on his jumper with Korver for a year is lovely.

Absolutely. Horst has ways of making comebacks.

This Bucks locker room is going to be AWESOME. Wish we had some type of randomized live feeds so we could hear some of the banter.

Even if he's not playable in the playoffs or for extended minutes anymore, I do think Korver still has a good shot at being valuable during the regular season grind. He can still get hot and pump in 5 or 6 threes off the bench on a good night. As long as everyone's expectations of what he is at this point are realistic this is still a good signing.

Three things you’ll tell your kids about LeBron?

Channing Frye: “No. 1, he has smelly breath. Smelly breath. No. 2, he was a freak of nature. And then No. 3, Kyle Korver and I fixed his jumper for one year. (Funny, Korver takes the credit for that.) I know, but Korver, Channing, it’s all the same. It’s all about Korver.”

Hoping the public flirting with JR Smith was just an impetuous to get Korver hurry up and sign. Cool with Bonzi in the final spot so he can form a Herd Big 3 with Mason and Reynolds.

Don’t need a comeback when you’re never down. Horst has been tremendous from day 1

Don't feel bad for the Raptors. We are the champions.

I do feel bad about the Bucks fans though. Must have been sad here to lose 4 straight after taking the first 2.

The Frank Mason III two way signing helps provide needed PG depth should a roster PG go down. If Bledsoe or Hill miss substantial time with injury, the Mason signing could be more significant than Korver.

Wouldn't be upset if they kept the last roster spot empty or a random NGD guy like Bonzie to fill it for the time being. Will probably be able to grab a decent buy out guy later in the year or bring in a vet in a trade etc.

Would still like a more established/bigger back-up guard. Mason's a good get on a two-way but I'm not betting on him being an immediate plug and play guy.
