OPJ signed for the min I think. I think they still have their tax-MLE left and owners willing to spend the increased tax payments.

OPJ and Mills would've been a perfect cap to our offseason.

I feel like the Bucks are dropping the ball here, but we'll see.

Were getting Dipo. I have nothing to base it on other than it feels like the most Bucks move out there.

Drummond really gonna be a min guy huh?

Gay and Patty were my preferences for TPMLE. Don't know who is left that would definitively be in the playoff rotation.

I'm hoping they still have something up their sleeve. Makes no sense to take every nickel from Bobby (!) if they are just going to throw away #31, TPE, and TPMLE

I am quite sure the Tucker decision came down to salary in 2 years (22-23). Miami guaranteed it for him and I bet we wouldnt. They are going to have to pay Bobby next offseason and that tax bill would just be way high.

Still sucks to do that to a guy that really changed the foundation of the culture in a few short months.

I think nabbing Dipo on the MLE is a worthwhile gamble if you can also get a competent back-up lead or combo-guard (Arcy, Lou-Will, Mills). That's a lot of injury concern at the 2-guard position between him and Donte though.

The dream would still be to nab Schroder on the MLE, then another wing like Snell on the minimum.

Makes sense in the context of being greedy douchebags. But! Lots of offseason to go.

Yea but they are finally surrounding Beal with competent players. Run everything through Beal. Guys like Trez, Kuzma, KCP, Dinwiddie, their young guys. I mean they aren't elite but for once they'll be competent

I could see them having a Hawks like jump. Maybe not quite ECF but much better than previous years. Infusion of veterans but still have good young talent in Rui, Deni, Kispert and Bryant to develop with the vets.

Gay would have been a good shooter off the bench. If I remember right he killed us last year in our 2 games. But he also isn’t too far off from what we have in Portis, in that he plays similar positions, but is a softer version.

Hoping we get Oladipo at this point, but it sounds like he wants to prove he is healthy and cash in, if that is even possible.
