Bucks Bogdan Bogdanovic Boondoggle

[slos]

If money is the problem Bucks can still offer up to 4y/67-68 mil in a double s/t with Sterling or Pat (6mil starting salary) instead of Ersan (and without James involved).

For Sacramento Bogdan will count 8,5 (his 2019 salary) which allows them to take back 13,5 mil from Pat (6mil) + Donte (3mil) + Wilson (4,5mil).

For Milwaukee Pat will count half his new contract (3mil) + Donte (3mil) + Wilson (4,5mil) = 10,5 mil which is enough to offer Bogdan 15,5 mil starting salary.

With the 5% raises this leads to a 4/67. Bogdan is reported to aim for a 4/72. I know Serbs don't like to leave money on the table, but this is too close.

Bring on the Middleton trades

Rage, building.

Karma is coming for Bron and the Lakers. I hate to say that in a **** year in which Kobe tragically died. Maybe it’s team chemistry or age finally catches up to Bron. But, **** his ****.

I admire him very greatly as a man... but hate his guts as a basketball player

Karma is not coming for Bron or the Lakers, but yet another NBA championship likely is.

As for Bron the "man," he revealed his true character when he sold out the people of Hong Kong because it might negatively impact his "brand" (and thus his $$$$$$$$) in Communist China.

He may well be the greatest basketball player of his time (and on his way to another title), but in taking his show on the road to South Beach and Hollywood and instructing the little people that they needed to get "educated" about the suppression of the people of Hong Kong he exposed himself as just another dumb jock in a league designed to showcase the "premiere" franchises ... none of which exist in cold weather flyover country.

Take this to the bank. Lebron and the lakers will crumble thIs year. That dude is one crooked bastard

This league man. This **** league.

The Hill hate/criticism is seriously disappointing.

I don't hate Hill, but I think he got overvalued on this board. I'm willing to bet good money the 2019-20 George Hill is a <15 mpg, <38%3 guy next year. He's going to be 35 by next year's playoffs and he declined as the year went on last year. He's not the type of player I want to get too attached to in a defining year.

He is slightly overpaid...but a solid player. Maybe overvalued a bit, he isn't what he once was.

Holliday is definitely an upgrade at PG...a legit All-star

[Nowak008]

Absolutely not to Fournier. Giannis and Middleton just saw him in the playoffs and they were not impressed.

I'd be in for Fournier, the problem is we have nothing to give at this point. No way I'm doing DDV for him.

Yeah, I don't think his contract is bad at all. In a vacuum, if we could get him back for 1/9m I wouldn't mind it. I just don't think he is player you hold up a trade for a starter.

[Nowak008]

Dead serious, can we please renegotiate the Jrue deal to get Josh Hart also? It doesn't magically solve this, but I'd feel so much better than standing pat. Josh Hart is a wonderful role player and can play 2 spots off the bench.

The fact we gave up all that draft capital and didn't also get back Hart or Ball is ridiculous.

[Nowak008]

I almost want Giannis to leave, citing an embarrassingly incompetent front office, so I can change my allegiance. (I have the right to retract this statement if the Bucks make an unexpected great deal I approve of while Giannis signs the supermax)

[midranger]

Is it possible to do two simultaneous sign and trades with two teams?

Something like:

Middleton and filler to Denver

Porter Jr and filler to Sacto

Bogdan, Bjelica, Jerami Grant, Monte Morris to Milwaukee


Morris
Holiday
Bogdan
Giannis
Brooke

Grant
DDV
Bjelica

[RosinBag]

Can we honestly believe this ownership group is going to go into the luxury tax? And pass up being a taker of that system and become a giver? Especially without Bogdan in the fold.

I just can't get the negativity out of my head.

[ABucksFan]

Could plan B be taking a shot at Oladipo. Take a risk on him in a contract year. Definitely an all-in move. Donte+DJ+2nd Rd pick, might need to sign a 2/3yr Sterling brown contract to make the $$$ work as well. DDV is definitely safer than Oladipo, this would be a very Bucks panic move though.

[Frank Nova]

It’ll be insane when Bogdan signs in LAL for the same deal we had in place and we all find it we were Lebron’d the whole time. Should make for entertaining reality tv.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was active in recruiting Bogdan Bogdanovic to join the Milwaukee Bucks in a now infamous proposed sign-and-trade that all parties have walked away from, according to a report from Sam Amick and Eric Nehm of The Athletic.

The Athletic reports Antetokounmpo's involvement was "widely known."

Bogdanovic had a number of concerns even before word spread that the NBA would investigate the matter.

Sources close to Bogdanovic insist that there was no agreement on his part and that were a communication breakdown. Bogdanovic was caught off-guard when news broke just after 7:00 AM on Tuesday in Serbia that he would be joining the Bucks.

[0BobLobLaw0]

Can't wait to start hearing deals that have been agreed upon at 5:01 (CDT), with no prior communication/tampering of course.

Rumors are the bucks have hired the micro machines guy to negotiate with Giannis starting at 5:00 cst.

What's with all this Manitowoc Minute stuff in avatars and sigs? That's my original hometown baby. Eating chemically-enhanced fish out of the Manitowoc River as a kid is what made me so smart/elite.

The beaches smell like rotting fish. It's a magical place.

So basically we couldn't get him the money he wanted or knows is out there from other teams, that's some kind of special relationship he must have with Giannis lol. If he wanted to be here he would be here. At least until the league stepped in or however they were going to screw us there.

If this was the case, the who so excitedly leaked a "finalized deal" to Woj? Either that was BS or it was Bogdan's agent at this point, right?
