I don't give them that much credit. Bidded against themselves for Bledsoe at expense of Brogdon.

Love Giannis and Holiday is a good player but this doesn't end well.

I think it could easily end with a championship.

Rosas will be waiting for the phone calls now. Only a matter of time until someone bites.

I have faith that we will haveewrned a lot from the failings of last year's draft and would have analysed last year's performance even more than this year's.

But Paul is way better player IMO...

I don't see Jrue moving the needle for them tbh

Paul is not a much better player. My best guess is Jrue is the better of the two this season.

He is thought.
Jrue is good but he's not Chris Paul.

First of all Jrue likes to play off the ball.
Paul is the better defender (debatable), better playmaker, better shooter even with 36yo.

Playmaking and shooting were the Bucks biggest needs.

I'll stand by my belief that Holiday will be the better of the two in the 21 season. Time will tell who's right. I think it will be me.

Jrue
Bogdanovic
Middleton
Giannis
Lopez

Pretty good

Could easily be a championship team. Now I need to know what they gave for Bogdanovic.

No excuses for Giannis with this team.

They will offer him 12-15mil contract, which is out of reach for us. But on the other hand, they won't try to overpay Beasley, and might still trade for Edwards.

Rookie-Mistake · Post #251 » by **Rookie-Mistake** » Tue Nov 17, 2020 7:52 am

Whatever money we CAN pay for Beasley, we HAVE to offer to Harris.

Do NOT want Beasley here.

We need genuine shooting.

Beasley our RFA, hence we can offer more than MLE. Harris is UFA, MIN can only offer MLE.

Amen. Man are they looking scary good.

So Griffin milked everything he could out of the bucks?

Anyway, win-now trades happen first. Let's go Wolves!

Paul will have way more usage than Holiday. The Bucks are Giannis’ team and the others have to share the ball.

I’ll take Paul next season, without a doubt. Paul will be running the show.

well, with that much on one team Giannis won't be able to chase MVPs now. He's going to have to relinquish some ball focus to allow these others to help. It's kind of like how Middleton went wild when Giannis missed games in the bubble. It's always a questionmark whether players are willing to be less in order for the team to be more. Middleton's already been doing so to allow Giannis to get his. Add two more players. Can they balance this right where Giannis remains productive along with these others. They must.

One might even say they have loaded up enough now where Giannis might not feel bad walking out on them. Actually, Bucks could trade him right now for a haul including a win now player and maybe do this without Giannis altogether if they really wanted. I know I'm crazy on this.

You have your right to be wrong. I don't think Booker and Ayton will be turning the team over to Paul. Also Paul with his bone on bone knees has been living on borrowed time and it's about to expire.

You have your right to be both overconfident and wrong, as is your wont.

:lol:

Ayton’s going to play PG now?!

Paul’s game is not predicated on athleticism. He’s the most in-control player in the league.

Holiday has NEVER been better than Paul.

Good luck.
