The timeline is clearer but how does 'AND' work there. Just confusing wording.

I guess I'm going to have to let the cat out of the bag here: Giannis is going to play a ton of center in the playoffs.

And yet, he won’t play 48 minutes at center.

Back of envelope spitballing tells me there’s 96 minutes available between PF and C. As much as I love watching Pat and Wes destroy our defense at center, I think we should have a Plan B (really A).

I'd rather add a forward than a center.

Giannis and Bobby have center covered, the problem is I don't care for Pat or Wes playing the 4.

We want Giannis guarded by a center, and we can only force that by not using a center.

at least I don't have to see any more trades for Beal proposed until the offseason.

Great news! Brooks is coming back in the next weeks, months or years.

Is that how Brook hurt his back, taking a bow?

Hood and a 2nd for Yuta Watanabe or Jalen McDaniel. Or Hood and more 2nds for Jaden McDaniel.

Trying to find things not mentioned here or in rumors, most Bucks moves have come out of nowhere the last few years. I came across Was as a possible match. Bunch of 5/4s there that could be available. DDV not a bad fit with Beal as he's good at stuff Beal isn't.

Harrel/Hachimura?

Minny isn't trading Jaden for that pu pu platter.

Doubt Hornets or Raptors give up solid bench pieces when they are going for it this year either. I'm with you on Yuta being a great fit though.

Tough to find a team willing to sell for 2nds that has a dude that checks enough boxes for us. Keep coming back to Kenrich or Tate, although they aren't quite the shooters I'd prefer, nor do they have the length, they can bang with bigs and facilitate a bit.

how bad is Meyers Leonard? Could he do anything positive on the bucks? He shoots 3's and ft's decent, and is 7ft one 255lbs

If people could forget about his personal issues I think he could be a contributor. It won't happen though.

I'll have to google those, not up to date on that

Anti-Semitic slur (think really bad) while playing a video game on Twitch or something. Claimed he didn’t know what it meant, which I actually kind of believe because he has the look of a huge moron.

I for one am very comfortable playing both our 1st and 4th best players out of position for the majority of their minutes so we can open up space for a guy the quality of “bought out by previous team” or “traded for Donte Divencenzo.”

Yuta isn't in their rotation right now, they're super deep at forward.

The picks they add make it easier for them to add pick to their Dragic trade package.

I like Kenrich, but I'd prefer someone longer. Maybe I'm being too picky.

Playing Giannis at center isn't playing him out of position. He's the best center in the League, and lineups with him at center can be unstoppable.

Interesting though that you want play a guy the quality of " traded for Donte" at center though.

Also, are you calling Bobby a PF? What PFs in 2022 can he keep up to? You are what you can guard, and Bobby is only a center in 2022.

Hachimura is interesting, but he's so dang inconsistent. I don't know what to make of him.

What if I told you Giannis is the best PF in the world? And won 2 MVPs and and DPOY at that position?

What if I told you Bobby Portis clearly and demonstrably plays better next to a center?

What if I told you the center we obtain in trade had only to beat out [checks notes] Greg Monroe on a 10-day rather than Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis and Khris Middleton to deserve minutes?

midranger · Post #1619 » by **midranger** » Wed Feb 9, 2022 2:48 am

You must be forgetting your Jordan Nwora is a guaranteed rotation player assurance from the off season. The Forward we need is already on the team. Per your assurances.

The Bucks closed out the Championship with Giannis playing center, and they'll do it again.

The block? Giannis at center. The valley oops? Giannis at center.

Bobby is having the best season of his career playing center full time.
