Yup the first tweet he sent out about Lowry was saying it’s going to happen, this just means it official. No need to stress over it, the league did the bucks a favor and we wouldn’t have won the chip without it. I still blame bogi and his agent and feel that was the major factor in it not working. As of right now I have the east like this
-Nets

-Bucks

-Heat
- Hawks
-sixers

-Boston
-Hornets
-Bulls/Pacers

Miami and Atlanta really don’t scare me at all. I think it’s Brooklyn, us, Philly, and Boston as it’s always seemed to be.

“Once discussions are permitted”. Woj is a **** clown and it wouldn’t surprise me when it’s revealed that he gets compensated under the table with “scoops” from specific front offices that he openly carries water for in the media. Shams is better anyways.

Lowry is way better than dragic in my eyes, always has been so he helps them a lot. And I’m not sure what you mean by the hawks being broken up, they got a real back up pg who won’t get destroyed on defense, Hunter who I think is a real two talent coming back and I’m sure they will re-sign Collins even if he’s not worth the money.

The east is getting better, quick, and the bucks are hoping they can just run it back with most of the same guys.

Lowry to the Heat is a good pick up. Not enough to be scary tho. Their offense didn't suck because of Dragic...Butler and Adebayo were just trash and got locked up. We can do it again

Monk averages 9 points at 40% shooting in 4 years. That's not a good player.

He had a good season last year for a bench player. Don't really care what his averages were when he was a 19 year old rookie

Right I agree with you on dragic and Lowry being in Miami, would rather have him in Miami than Philly 100%. The hawks got Delon Wright, not great but better than lou and will not crater the defense like him. Still think the bucks are better than both teams just don’t think us winning this year puts us head and shoulders above the non nets teams in the east. Not saying you but I’ve been seeing that attitude in the fandom and I hope the front office doesn’t feel the same.

I mean, we literally did not have a backup guard, we had to start 36 year old PJ Tucker who is really a SF/PF and play him out of position throughout the playoffs until he couldn't breathe. So yeah, anyone is better than the backup guard that we don't have. But if you just grab anyone then you probably end up with an unplayable Forbes/Teague again. Or to word it better: someone that Bud would not play at all, and instead run Jrue and Tucker to the ground and give all backup minutes to Pat C.

On the other hand DDV is (probably) coming back so maybe we don't even really need anyone? I don't know.

So according to everything I've read in this thread, Miami is signing every free agent.
