JJ looks much better than what I expected.

Watch some Fenerbahce games. Tidiest team in the world, coach micro-managing everything, and playing against weaker competition of course. He looked pretty much the same player.

But he was probably not 4th or 5th in the pecking order and playing with someone with the gravity of Giannis. He will be getting lots of open looks for sure, just need someone who actually makes them in the playoffs. Hopefully the Bucks aren't cursed and he is good when it counts like most are saying

The last time I got excited we brought in a big time shooter was mirotic. After that disappointment, I was real wary about watching highlights and getting excited about a player.

But hot damn! He's got game winners all over the place! Vs grizzlies, Lakers, game winners in Europe. Dude seems clutch AF. Very different then anyone on our previous roster.

So this guy liked it. I would have guessed one of our down under guys made the video, but none of you are Detroit fans that we know of :lol:

This is a guy you can't leave open. He's everything Carlos Delfino wanted to be, such a great fit. :love:

No, true, he was kinda sharing the ball with Bobby Dixon and Ekpeh Udoh from memory. We'll see man, on the Bucks he will need to wait for the ball for long stretches, see how that sits with him.

We have 4.5 dudes total, he'll get to throw flames in the second unit.

It's also just hard to compare Euroleague to NBA when in the Euroleague Bogdan is sharing the ball with former Buck Ekpe Udoh, feels like two different universes. Think Bogdan is going to be relied on quite a bit and will be very happy here compared to his time with the Kings, don't think lack of shots will ever be a factor

I think Bogdan will have plenty of opportunities to shoot the ball.

I'm also excited we now have another game ending play BESIDES, FORCE A SHOT TO MIDDLETON WITH PEOPLE ALL OVER HIM AND PRAY HE CAN FALL BACKWARDS AND SHOOT A GAME WINNER.

Fantastic trade of us ... I can't believe it

PS The Jrue trade is one of the worst I have seen ever

Sigra · Post #192 » by **Sigra** » Tue Nov 17, 2020 11:30 am

So we have only 7 players now. I saw that Marvin quit, Robin opt out but what hapened with Pat and Korver? Free agents?

Ya, Pat was on a 2 year deal, he's a UFA. He only cost $1.7MM a year, I think the bucks could pick him up at a similar rate.

Korver was on a 1 year deal is also a free agent....but he turns 40 in March...he seemed done in the playoffs. I hope the bucks could do better. Nothing against him.

I’m so glad I went to bed before this news came through. I wouldn’t have sleep at all.

We’re going streaking!

Badgerlander · Post #195 » by **Badgerlander** » Tue Nov 17, 2020 12:51 pm

So my big concern with Bogdan was always IF he was the only guy we were signing this offseason he wasn’t going to be enough AND if we overpaid him then he wasn’t going to outplay the contract but getting Jrue puts us into the tax so it doesn’t really matter. I’ve always liked Bogdan, hopefully Bud uses his skills

Anyone can look good in a highlight video, but Justin James shows some nice signs in this video, huge win if he can ever just be a 8th - 9th man rotation player. Great measureables and had impressive agility / speed test times at the combine also.

Making a nice little offseason here. Got both guys we wanted! Massive upgrade. Sad to see Donte go....but oh well.

Well done Horst.

Sauce Boss · Post #199 » by **Sauce Boss** » Tue Nov 17, 2020 1:19 pm

So...we didn’t send out any picks in this deal? I like Donte as much as the next person, but this is a straight up good move if he’s all you’re really giving up.

We had to give up DJ Wilson as well. It hurts.
