Takes a long time to type it out in full.

It sounds like the Jrue trade is good to go, any reason why it hasn’t been announced by the team yet?

Am I the only one that hopes we see reasonable playing time for Nwora/Merrill/Diakite just to see if we may have struck on one or more of them? I feel like cycling through a few 2nd rounders each year might be an okay way for us to build on potential assets (aslong as we don’t dump them off like Wood or Brogdon, but atleast Brogdon netted us a few picks).

If Pat had a salary increase to use towards a trade, do we think the ship has sailed on that before the season starts or is that something that could still happen?

I always wondered if the NBA could alter their CBA to be more like the NFL in terms of trades and announcing it. Always find it funny teams have to announce picks for other teams or that trades take forever to announce.

And I was also hoping Pat would be part of a larger deal but it seems like that ship has sailed.

Why do you guys want that 15th spot filled so badly? Better opportunities arise at the deadlines. Also, injuries happen and you may need to target another position.

Multi-year deal, extend Thanasis & Giannis. Alexandros has Saratsis tell the 29 other teams, don't draft Alex, he won't play for you.

No chance in hell you just drop the entire idea of the trade because of tampering allegations. You would see it through and force the league to make the final decision if it’s truly what all parties involved wanted.

Actually no. If you're Bogdanovic you run quickly away from any deal with the Bucks, once the league stepped in.

The league will do an investigation. If he signed a contract/offer sheet this past weekend with the Bucks, that contract would likely be invalidated. Remember Bogdan and his agent also could face sanctions for negotiating and agreeing to a contract before last Friday's free agency opening. It isn't just the teams that would take sanctions. His agent also might get decertified by the league and players union.

At that point Bogdan would be a free agent, but all the money would have been spent and training camps well underway. Now he becomes like Noel, Sprewell, etc. A guy who had big money in front of them, but made some dumb decisions, and ended up getting screwed badly, never able to recover those lost dollars.

No way could Bogdan take a chance on a Bucks offer once the league stepped in last Tuesday night.

If the Kings match, I have a feeling a Bucks deal is still in play

League wouldn't be able to mess with it since it was a Hawks offer sheet and then a midseason trade

Kinda weird to have a no trade clause and a trade kicker that the Kings would have to pay

If they don't, it's really over.

I dropped them when they refused to talk about the Bucks for the first two rounds of the 2019 playoffs. Plus they never say anything particularly insightful, it's just reading off box scores and stat sheets in the dryest and most boring fashion possible

This. I tuned in once and haven't gone back. Duncan's voice is almost unlistenable by itself.

I don't see why the Kings wouldn't match offer, it's good value. It also gives them insurance incase the Hield situation gets worse.

Justin James to be part of this too.

However, Bjelica shares the same agent as Bogdan. The Bucks might be done with that guy for awhile.

I'd also do Pat and DJ for James and Richaun Holmes.

Then use the last roster spot on Shaq Harrison, because he's better than Forbes and Craig.

Seems like they love Holmes. Their fans do anyway.

Their front office has been looking at other centers, which makes me think he's available. Just a hunch.

OMG - watch and listen to the video very closely. At the :09 mark, there is the lyric "blue cheese," clearly signifying Lake Michigan and Wisconsin. Then, at :24 we see a court ad that says "NEVER QUIT" and at :45, one for "bwin," which obviously means "BUCKS WIN."

Giannis is telling us he's signing the supermax.

I couldn't get the video to load, but it's so obvious now, I don't even need to watch it to know that you're right about this.

I was hoping there was some hidden messages somewhere

YOU FORGOT ALL THE ZAZA REFERENCES AT THE END

If you read Giannis' twitter backwards, everything will be illuminated.

Surprised I haven't heard anything about any team being interested in Frank Kaminsky. While he hasn't done well in the NBA, he hasn't been terrible, and he's a skilled 6'11 forward. Looks like he's going to have to settle for the vet minimum from someone.

Can we still get Boogie? I'd take him on a min prove it deal. Upside is ridiculous.
