The bucks deal is dead

Giannis looking at this...

[urinesane]

If we don't trade for Simmons, Gordon or draft a PF. Any chance we take a chance on Randle? $18,900,000 this yr and only 4 mil guaranteed nxt yr..sth like future top 10 protected and JJ for Randle. I'd like to see Randle and Dlo reunited. They had a connection with the PnR. And Randle has increased his range and he can do everything i guess besides defend at a high level. but his D is avg. Here he's not forced to be the 1st option..scoring will come natural for him with Dlo and Towns creating for him as well. Can see him avg 18 and 10 with us.

If we get a big they need to defend well, period.

Ability to make a layup

Watch non-highlight videos and you'd be amazed how similar they actually are in this area.

I’ve watched every one of Ball’s NBL games. He’s a much better scorer and will be a league average three point shooter in the NBA. He’s just a better scorer.

Now, Rubio was a much better defender and had a better motor.

Was it Woj or Shams or who that originally said Bogdan trade happened with Bucks? Someone overstepped.

What makes you think he will be league average from 3?

His shot selection is still head scratching.

Let's Goooooooooooooo!!!

Ugh doesn’t Oubre need a new contract next year and injury prone?
Please wait to see who is available at 17 damn it.

Oubre is a great player. I would take him for a year and hope to keep him around.

[TheProdigy]

Can someone please explain to me what LaMelo does better than Rubio?

Honestly?

He's substantially more athletic. He's got a better floater.

That's about it.

Agreed on the floater but not on the athleticism. I see LaMelo struggling to beat Australian league players off the dribble 1 on 1.

Giannis looking at this...

Who cares about Giannis anymore? Tool is holding his team on eggshells. They've been flooding that roster with players that last few years, they were stacked two years ago and it wasn't enough for him? They are obviously continuing to now add more. I'm really sick of these stars hunting for 150-200 million deals and killing their teams and then acting like they might leave. Leave then. I'd kick them out the first sign of being noncommittal. Why offer someone like that 200 million or more.

[KGdaBom]

Only way Id be happy would
Be if its like 17/JJ/Evans for Oubre/25. I find Oubre overated.

he's certainly underrated by you.

[Calinks]

Whoever we take, got to have faith that Rosas knows what he'd doing. Got to be leaf.

Rubio easily more athletic than Ball.

A few things. Even though he has wonky form, it’s no where near as messed up as his brothers form was. Lonzo’s actually shot the ball from the left side of his head. Lonzo’s shot above league average last year.

Ball has great touch. His floater game is very good. He is also a good FT shooter, which his brother wasn’t. Touch and FT shooting are huge indicators of future three point shooting.

His poor percentage was much more an indicator of shot selection than his actual shot. This is much like Edwards. Once an NBA team reigns that in, the efficiency will rise.

Finally. That 25% was in large part because of his struggles the first six games as he adjusted to playing against grown men. He shot much better his next six games before getting injured. If he had more time to adjust, playing an entire season, I think that percentage would have been much higher (look at Trae Young’s shooting numbers to start his rookie year before he adjusted).

[Merc_Porto]

Rubio or not, doesnt make any sense to put together Ball and Russell in the backcourt...
Whats is the idea in putting together those two?

Think people forget preinjury Rubio. Different level than LaMelo in every area. His shot left him under Thibs though.

I 100% think this is just covering their ass on early negotiating. I think the deal will get done. It was reported for way too long for one of the teams not to correct Woj much, much earlier. Both teams had to have thought it was done.

[KGdaBom]

Klay injury most likely season ending achilles. Chat Sports is saying the Warriors should trade up to 1 and take Edwards now.

Rosas. Is he freaking out right now, busy making or getting calls, or giving more interviews about how much it sucks to be at #1 right now.

[Merc_Porto]

I bet the Warriors are going for Edwards with the Klay injury now
