Bucks News, Trade Ideas, Transactions - Nwora in protocols

[Ruzious]

Tbh, I think Cuz has been overrated almost all of his NBA career, but he's been humbled and can probably help some. Hopefully BroLo will be back.

[aboveAverage]

As another backup big that can play 10 min a game, this is a fine signing. Not expecting too much though.

[AussieBuck]

I'm excited to see a big who can pass on the court with Giannis.

[HKPackFan]

Kinda cool the bucks land a big name like that, for nothing. Even if he's just a shell of his former self, I'm just not used to these has been big names going to Milwaukee for free.

[ShootingtheJ]

I think it's pretty impressive that they were only -10 with him defending the entire court by himself.




Oh, there were other players out there too? And this stat takes absolutely nothing into account regarding the other team's players? I guess that's why there's no complete stat we can judge everyone by, hey.

Yeah I'm sure it was everyone else, the Clippers really struggled. Wait, they were good? Well, only good players play in the playoffs, so I'm sure his numbers stabilized then. Wait, he was -21 per 100 in the playoffs.

Don't kill the messenger man, I didn't create these stats. If you watched any of these Clipper playoff games, you'd understand why I'm a skeptic.

The alternative to being a skeptic is believing multiple teams would rather leave a roster spot open than sign a player who's awesome and willing to sign for minimum, without any guaranteed money.

So similarly, I can be skeptical about those stats for the reasons I sarcastically mentioned. Absolutely not emotional about this, I think it's important to assess my biases on those stats. Basically I think there's too many holes in them to make any definitive statements on them.

If I'm wrong? He's crap and sits on our bench. I don't really care to be honest.

If he's crap, he gets cut. Its a nonguaranteed deal.

I'm excited to see a big who can pass on the court with Giannis.

It's him being glacial slow that is my main concern. His skillset is perfect otherwise.

I wonder if Boogie means the Bucks would like to open up another roster spot.

Semi + Hood both have disappointed. It’s still early in the season but some kind of consolidation trade could be in order at some point before the deadline.

[JimmyTheKid]

Boogie and the Bucks have always seemed like a good match. Worst case, he's a big body who can help preserve Giannis for the long season ahead. Best case, we have a new member of our rotation. Even if Boogie has lost a step, two, or three, he's still better than Mamu, Semi, Rodney, Robinson, Georgios, Nwora, and most likely Thanasis.

[EUROBUCK]

He will be a good match only if he can make his open shots. Otherwise he'll be blocking the lanes for giannis.

[crkone]

After seeing Hood moving much better these past couple games I'm hoping they get Cousins up to their standards too.

[LUKE23]

Love the move especially on a non-GTD deal.

In Cousins last stint with the Clippers he was per 36: 21.7 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.3 steals, 1.0 blocks @ .597 TS. Granted it was a small sample size of 207 minutes, but still.

He's never been a great shotblocker, but he can definitely rebound and take some of the wear and tear off of Giannis.

[WRau1]

Hood has been moving pretty well the last few games and has shown enough to not completely abandon all hope, Semi is a dumpster fire.

He's never been a great shotblocker, but he can definitely rebound and take some of the wear and tear off of Giannis.

He's become more efficient as his role has decreased the past couple of years. At his peak, he was the center version of Russell Westbrook. He wasn't even shooting over 50% from 2. Even last year, he put up over 15 shots/game per 36 which would put him behind Giannis and Khris on this year's team. It will be interesting to see what role he fills with the Bucks, and how long it will take to get in playing shape. I also love the move.

So the Bucks just added Boogie, with the returns of DDV, and Brook hopefully soon. And they're on a 7 game win streak. Life as a Bucks fan is pretty good.

Prediction: my man is going to be cutting radio spots for Usingers before February wraps up.

A certain sub shop was too easy, I suppose.

Chonestown HQ dulled by repeated days of excessive starch and carbs.

I will be better RGM, that's a natural fact.

[paulpressey25]

I remember the Bucks traded for Kevin Duckworth back in the day. This is different for many reasons. But is it?

Yes it is.

Yes, it is different since Duckworth was a guy who worked hard to carve out a job in the league. He had no pedigree.

Benoit Benjamin? He had a pedigree since his high school days. This is the Benoit Benjamin move. The difference is we didn't have prime Hakeem on our roster in 1995-96.

The Bucks signed Moses Malone when I was in middle school. That was huge.

[M-C-G]

Really like this idea given we need a big and its not hard to imagine that he could really click with this roster and be a plus. We've already made the giant slow footed big work in our system, no reason we can't do it again.

Not sure if we have an open roster spot, but I might just proactively cut Semi to let anyone considering taking a buyout that we are open for business. I didn't expect much from Semi, but I am not sure I want to wait any longer for him to do anything. I think he is a dude that probably just picked the wrong the sport.

[LUKE23]

I have almost no hope for Hood but I'd take him over Semi for the last roster spot 100 out of 100 times, if it came down to it.
