No doubt in my mind Horsty called up Master Hammonds like “sensei, help me fix this mess”

With what we know about him, is it more likely that he gives into the wishes of this obviously corrupt league, or does he thumb his nose at tainted championships and stays to ride with the aggrieved underdog?

He'd be a famous superstar and TMZ target for the former approach, but a hero and immortal figure for the latter (and an excellent example of integrity for his younger brothers).

Hopefully, our owners take a stand, for themselves, and for us...


Love you GAD, but not enthused to fire up the Mystery Machine van to help save the master of the possimpible's job. If it turns out he was the leaker, he's got to go. You can't run a billion dollar operation with that guy always inserting himself as the PR point person.

Was listening to Hollinger explain how the pre-free agency negotiation process goes. The team talks with the agent. All the convos go through the agent. The agent then works with the player. Nate Duncan asked Hollinger if it was possible Bogdan didn't know the contract specifics. Hollinger laughed and said zero chance. Bogdan knew everything that was going down.

Hollinger also said that if a guy like Woj hears from an agent about a deal, he usually reaches out to the team to confirm.


So you’re saying the Bucks were happy to confirm?

I had this same thought last night and I've never seen a Google image search more torpedoed than Jurassic Park when I typed in John Hammond phone or meme.

We should start a fan union - get all the season ticket holders from every team and start **** up the league for all their stupid ****.

There is no way Alex and crew weren't checking for the blowback here, if not posting themselves. We see you, suspicious defenders of the Bucks' supposed valor with 4 prior posts.

Agreed on twitter as well, out of control baby. Meta.


I think you overestimate how much they care about what we think.


cross purposes, darling. I don't think they care what we think as fans to please (and lord knows we're all too aware of that), but I do believe that they have go-to's in which they like to take the temperature of their supposed benevolence and omniscience as our Billionaire overlords and as owners of a shiny new toy that only 29 other people have.

Definitely the Bucks. Definitely the league. Maybe Woj. Hold off on Bogdan until we hear from him.

Personally I think the Bucks started it. And either the agent or Kings confirmed it, or Woj figured getting the word directly from the Bucks was good enough and ran with it. Could be wrong. I can't prove it.

Magic proceed to trade Bucks a 2020 2nd rd pick for future 2nd rd picks.

Also listened to MacMahon, Windy and Pelton. All three of them seemed to feel that losing Bogdan wasn't the end of the world, as long as Giannis re-signs. Felt that the hard cap was going to severely limit them, and that DDV is a good player.

The only issue I have with that is that the team still doesn't have cap room. They've only got the MLE and BAE. And if Bogdan did sign a deal starting at $15mm, they evidently might have had enough money to use both of those anyways. It really only would have impacted roster spots 11-15.

I think Giannis will sign the supermax anyway, Bogdan or not.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
