He's an NBA player, but not someone you want in your 1-9 rotation. As the 10-15th guy on the roster, he's fine. Until they sign/draft some young guys who can fill up the garbage time PLUS have a real opportunity for development, he has a place on the roster.

Re-watching game 7 against the Nets. What an unbelievable win….

Watching with thoughts towards next year… how do we match up against KD without PJ?

Yeah, my first thought looking over that list is that the Bucks are way too generous with their number retirements.

There should only be 5 players who have their numbers in the rafters (Kareem, Oscar, Glock, Sidney, Marques), and I'm even kind of iffy on Marques...

Has a franchise ever un-retired a number before? I would imagine not.

We definitely were a little quick for many of ours. I just want to see 34, 22 and 21 up there eventually.

Most 14/15th men in the NBA aren't actual NBA players, they're swings at hopefully getting them. If Thanasis Antetokounmpo is in the conversation for those spots?...........

Dealing with people who exhibit the "smartest person in the room" syndrome can be a challenge. One approach is to listen their opinion while also encouraging open-mindedness. It's important to create an environment where all voices are valued.

Nah, I don't have Ray (7 years, 3x All-Star) so I also don't have Dandridge (8 years, 3x All-Star). I think most franchises are too liberal with retiring jerseys. If you're not a first ballot HoF level guy, then you need to have at least been All-Star caliber while spending the vast majority of your career with the franchise (decade-plus). Glock is an obvious exception.

Social Security.


Don't forget Medicare. Two of the greatest achievements ever. And I didn't realize it only goes to those in attendance for the Bucks/ Bullets series.

Does anyone call him that? The only "nickname" I can recall for him is Jonny Mac.

I like the idea of it I guess but hate actually taking numbers out of rotation. I quite enjoy seeing new football players taking my all time favourite players' numbers. It's also fun when someone **** gets a great number. #34 has had a good run of the last couple decades, shame IMO that it only has another decade to ever be worn.

Giannis playing through 2041 though.

Giannis has to take him more often and sacrifice on the offensive end. Middleton is going to have to take another leap on the offensive end and become a 25-28 ppg player if we want to compete with a fully healthy Nets team

Or...... Just here me out.... Maybe..... Just maybe..... Jrue hits open layups and Giannis doesn't start the series shooting 3s like Curry. I know crazy thoughts but hey we can dream

Also Giannis on Durant is one of the worst ideas that people have seemed to latched on to in some time. Giannis is otherworldly as a help defender and not nearly as impactfull as a on ball perimeter defender. Putting him on Durant doesn't make as much sense as some think it does
