Bucks News, Trade Ideas, Transactions - Grayson Extended - 2/$20 million

This is the clear hole(s) they need to fill:

Lopez/Portis
Giannis/_____/Nwora
_____/Connaughton/Ojeleye
Middleton/Allen/(DiVo)
Holiday/Hill

They could do it with one player, a starting quality 3/4 who can defend and shoot decently. Batum and Gay would have fit like a glove. What other viable options are there in a trade or FA?

Dorian Finney-Smith would be a big get. It would likely take a Donte trade, and I’m pretty sure Dallas loves him, but he’d be great.

Giannis should be mad... Only 20 mil in the tax... That's disrespectful... He should demand Thanasis getting paid another 10 mil... Bucks have his Bird rights...

when do we stop paying Leuer and Sanders?

why Allen gets more than DDV ? wasn't ddv selected higher?

Bucks in: Finney-Smith
Mavs in: Hield, Bagley, Woodard
Kings in: Pozingas, Donte

Love Donte, but this is a move that makes sense. I would then have Avery Bradley on speed dial to see if he is down to win a chip this year.

Holiday / Hill / Bradley
Allen / Pat / Hood
Middleton / Nwora / Thanasis
Giannis / Finney-Smith / Ojeleye / Mamu(2-way)
Lopez / Portis / Diakitie

Noooooooo , my Merrill ....
**** u Horst ...
And 2 2nds for the privilege to watch a tall fake point guard, a fake tough guy , bricking wide open shots and not being able to attack the rim.... then alot will say blah blah blah , but he is a good defender.... well for the 1Mth time ... it is called basketball, not defendball, or wingspanball or assistball ... and that comes from a Greek guy that our basketball culture is Defense 1st

I agree Thanasis as the last guy is worth the roster spot/min to keep Giannis happy + he's good cheerleader/occasional energy guy, the alternative is what? There are more garbage players on NBA rosters right now than Thanasis with no familial relation to the team's superstar, you need a guy that can be happy not playing weird as may sound but like Craig was a guy who didn't like his minutes getting jerked around and had to be shipped out.

I 100% do not know what player you're talking about.

If there’s anything you CANT say about Allen, it would be that he’s not a shooter. He definitely has a sweet jumper and hits it at a really respectable clip.

It was for free agency haha. Don't know why Rudy Gay isn't a Buck if he took the tpmle from Utah.

There's no way of knowing that Sneaky Pete, Fotis, and MBBOT aren't all the same person.

Yeah, yeah. But you guys were all like "Supreme is a prophet! He's clairvoyant! He's so sexy!" in 2013-14 when I called how awful we were DURING THE INTRODUCTIONS OF THE FIRST SCRIMMAGE!
