Does that include Mirza's money? Not sure if that is officially coming off the books or not.

If the Bucks are about to trade Bledsoe for Covington + PJ Tucker it'd make that much more sense that RoLo would bail before the minutes pinch.

Looks like we are interested in Avery Bradley. I’d rather us try to lure Grant

[Ruzious]

This obviously clears the way for Anthony Davis to Milwaukee.

Nah, both he and Giannis want to play PF. Pass.

Bradley would be an awful choice.

How much dead money are we still spending from guys like hawes and sanders?

[SirChurros]

I've never seen what people ever liked about Avery Bradley. Glad I am not alone.

How much dead money are we still spending from guys like hawes and sanders?

$ 1,865,546 for Sanders till 2022
$ 3,169,348 for Leuer till 2022 (but will probably removed from the cap)

Mirza is off the books since he medically retired.

Sanders and Leuer are still active dead money though, with a chance to get Leuer off if Horst applied to have his cap hit removed. Both are reflected in Marks's number though.

I honestly could care less if they got rid of anyone other than Giannis and Donte D. I especially want George Hill gone.

[mke_design]

Robin opting out is good in terms of there being less barriers to Giannis at 5. Robin opting out in conjunction with Wes is a little concerning because it's the second instance of a ring-chasing vet deciding against guaranteed money from Milwaukee. Either Horst gave them the indication he has a way to replace their minutes or they get the sense this team's roster is about to be wildly different and perhaps not a contending team.

What world do you live in?

Uh, why would you want Hill gone lol.

Also will never understand what this board sees in DDV so much.

If it's more or less becomes a swap of Wes for Avery, I think it's a wash. Bradley was probably even a little better last year, plus he's younger and with a history of all-NBA-level defense. Wes can guard bigger players, but Avery can guard quicker ones.

What world do you live in?

The world in which Horst screwed the pooch by extending Bledsoe without needing to, let Brogdon go, didn't get any additional ball-handlers last offseason, and wasted two valuable spots on RoLo and Thanasis? The path for improvement is narrow. There's a way to do it, but Horst shot himself in the foot twice. Even if you're not of the opinion that bringing back Brogdon would have gotten Milwaukee to the Finals, at the very least it would be nice to have him as a trade asset right now. Bledose could have been dangled as an expiring this last season. Now it's likely that getting rid of Bledsoe requires Donte or the #24. There are some options in free agency that are appealing, but Horst has his work cut out for him to get younger and more dynamic without mortgaging the future.

yeah, if DDV becomes an average NBA starter I would be happy. Those guys are replaceable. It's not like there is a long run way either, we have 2 more years under contract and would have to pay him market value.

I dont think hes going to be amazing but the guy shows flashes. Hustles his off and I think he can shoot better. Plus what the **** else do we have in the backcourt?

Don't forget the atrocious Middleton contract!

I feel like its about to get real wild here the next two days before the draft. I just hope the bucks can pull something off.
