Considering our last two small ball PFs signings the past few years, hopefully he’s still in the NBA by the end of his deal:

Best value move of the off-season right here. I appreciate a decisive, confident scorer.

Shooting and toughness were the checkboxes we had.

I saw this one coming.

With Portis on the court, could move Giannis to C. Bucks might not need a backup center in the rotation.

Portis is a 5. He is not a 4. He is terrible defender in space. He is not a rim protector.

He is decent defense rebounder. He is capable of getting hot from 3.

signing decent players to small contracts and giving them PO's as compensation instead of more additional cash in their base year is a good move considering 99% of dudes always exercise that **** anyway

I am interested in seeing Portis respond to being on a contender. He's been on a lot of bad teams and the Knicks team he was on last year was a dumpster fire and lacked good PG play. I'm expecting to get the best out of him with this team. I like this move and I think it will end up as a buy low.

This is probably my favorite move of the offseason so far, which isn’t saying much, but counts for something.

Definitely think this is possible. He had Ntilikina and Dennis Smith as his PGs last year and the Knicks team was a disaster.

He could be better than Ersan and Marvin together. At least he is young and has energy

Nice Signing. Front office still gets an "F" for an off season grade since they blew the Bogdan Situation.

We needed someone to punch people in the face when they’re rough with Giannis.

This is a reasonable response to the Mirotic signing lacking the punch we anticipated.

I think Bobby and Hambone both thought he was heading to Milwaukee as well, crazy googly eyes and all. Then J-Kidd stepped in and picked that Hall of Famer whose name I forget.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
