If Giannis leaves though......they are screwed forever. This really is an all in move.

Yup. This can go south for the Bucks real quick. If Jrue doesnt resign and Giannis walks, this could be pretty brutal. It will be impossible for them to rebuild (assuming those swaps are on the off years between the traded picks). But if Jrue stays and Giannis is happy and stays. Ya the swaps will mean absolutely zero, and so what if you miss out on late 1st round picks in 4 and 6 years.

OMG they did the KG/PP Nets trade for Jrue Holiday and Giannis is leaving in a year. That's nuts!

Love it for the bucks but 3 first rounders and two swaps? Wow.

Necessary move to keep giannis though. Great return for griffin too.

Of they don’t win this year Giannis is gone for sure. What road to improving the roster is left if they don’t win this year?

Every other main player on that team is over 30 and they have 0 picks left

n how do we know this isnt the mkve Giannis wanted before extending?

The Bucks will be a disaster if Giannis leaves in FA.

I like the trade, but they were contenders before. Their biggest problem is that Giannis goes poof against certain playoff defense.

That still needs to be addressed for them to truly contend.

Part of that is a personnel problem with Giannis having to kick it out to wide open guys like Bledsoe who can't shoot. Jrue will alleviate some of that pressure.

I know the Bucks were desperate with Giannis but that’s crazy Jrue doesn’t put you over the top.

Why not trade for CP3 when he was available? He’s just as good and costs way less to get.

I thought Buddy would be a better fit honestly and cheaper, but who knows

Jrue is a great player and can ofc hit 3s, but he isn't a sniper to punish teams for building the wall vs Giannis

Jrue isn't a lot better than Bledsoe lol

go back to the last playoff run he had against por, bledsoe has NEVER had a series like that ever

3 first rounders for a non-All star on an expiring deal. Hard pass.

He is a fring all-star and a DPOTY calibur defender. while also being very food offensively. no one is passing on that

Bledsoe made All Defense last year unlike Holiday. Theres not a big difference. And George Hill is really good too.

This doesn't really make them better. Sorry.

Good lord, three 1sts and 2 swaps?

I like Jrue Holiday, but this is not the deal that puts them over the top for a 'chip, and they have nothing else left to trade.

Pelicans robbed them.

They're definitely throwing everything including the kitchen sink to convince Giannis to stay

Jrue going for Tobias contract after the Bucks gave up all those assets for him.

Post #139 » by **codydaze** » Tue Nov 17, 2020 4:58 am

Bucks need to really go all in and get a sign and trade for Bogdan too.

Jrue/Bogdan/Middleton/Giannis/Lopez would be a really nice squad.

raptor jesus · Post #140 » by **raptor jesus** » Tue Nov 17, 2020 4:59 am

Jrue is an excellent player, but I don't think he's THAT much better than what Bledsoe and Hill provide collectively. And then the draft picks... the Pels came out like bandits imo.
