Agreed. And frankly Bud has to play those guys 40mpg in the playoffs for once anyways.

Also off the belief that Giannis signs the supermax and Jrue a big extension. We just have to avoid injuries.

You act like Horst is not a good GM. The same guy that won executive of the year. Like he's not in the know about the value of players.

Do I agree we probably overpaid for Jrue? Yes, I do. But if we didn't, someone else likely would of, and then this board would be up in arms about "oh the Bucks didn't go for it when they had the chance."

If getting Jrue meant Giannis resigning, nothing else matters. Nothing. Asset maximization be damned.


I do think he's making plenty of mistakes, especially on the small scales. Casual fans might not think it matters but it makes me livid that we partly guaranteed Merrill's second year. Or that we signed him before knowing if we have part of the MLE left to hand a longer than 2 year contract. Guess what we have.

And if Horst was as good a GM as you said he is he'd be capable of doing both.


No moves are official yet. Not even the Jrue trade. So while you think you may know all the ins and outs of every option, etc. because John Hollinger speculated some garbage, no one does.

Jon Horst won Exec of the Year in 2019. Google it.


Crazy to win an award in 2019 for moves made in late 2020.

The point was made to posit that he knows WTF he's doing. He's not Larry Harris.

I'm really confused by this. According to my math it's not. Once Jrue's contract heads over we'll have space (depending on the unknown figures of his incentives).


Matt isn't really very good at doing anything other than reporting so i'm not suprised. However, he is friends with Frank Madden so i'm sure he could always ask.
:lol: this is so sad but so true. It's hilarious that someone whose career isn't even basketball related has more cap knowledge (and possibly even sources) than our actual reporters lol.

No? It was you who started calling me out for being a negative after I gave my early feedback on the offseason. Me, who didn't partake in the doom and gloom in the Bogdanovic thread at all. And I don't know how you got here but somehow now you're trying to turn this into 'Are executives of the year good executives' and forcing me to dissent. Way to move the goal post.

I don't care about that debate. I'm very open to debate but you're not adding anything to my viewpoint.

Look man, I've been on this board since 2009. I've been through all the s*** this team has done. What I'm saying is let's all embrace the fact that we are re-loaded with a legit third star this season with a very solid supporting cast.

Yes, losing out on Bogdan sucks, but it was likely his agent messing with us/him not wanting to be here. That's his loss. Let's get a backup center, deal DJ/Donte for an upgrade if an opportunity presents itself, then let's go win the East for the first time since 1974.

Ok, great! An actual opinion. Hope you keep this in mind when helpful players become available over the next 7 years and we're on the sidelines. Because our competitors will not be.

not saying he's doncic, but couldn't you say from the eye test, doncic has most of merrill's perceived weakness's? i have a feeling about this guy's intangibles

He definitely is not Doncic haha but I will say the first thing I noticed watching him is he has a tendency to cross his legs on his jumper the same way Luka does.

Give me Frank Mason to fill that final spot. Dump Wilson for a pick.


What pick, a 2039 7th?

I think this team is better than the 2020 version, and likely better than the 2019 version. We're still on the championship shortlist, and that's great, but we also keep taking unnecessary hits around the edges, and that **** is adding up. I'm not even counting the Bogdan fiasco in that summation (because we still have no clue what really went down there). Not getting the $13 million trade exception last year, the DJ Wilson contract pickup when it was obvious we had no plan for him, being cleaned out of our draft assets through 2027, how we managed the Augustin and Pat C contracts and likely losing a roster spot (and the ability to pick up a Marvin Williams mid-season) in the process. These are just the most obvious examples of value left on the table.
