Absolutely zero chance we get this sort of return for our crap lol.

Just curious, who's not getting enough value here? I forgot to include that Nets are getting #28 too
Nets and Jazz both aren't getting nearly enough in my opinion. I don't think Boston is getting enough either, though it's not quite as egregious as the other two. You're essentially saying Dame (who clearly has negative trade value) is worth Kessler, Cam Johnson, and Sexton, all of whom have positive value. It's not remotely close.

if we throw in our picks or an ajj its probably a given. somewhere in the middle we may have a deal

add a porzingas and its good as gold. imagine?

it would be sensational for us(with giannis) if we could pull it off and its right there honestly. the biggest hurdle would be dorkass bucks fans that havent seen a "bad contract" coming on to the roster the last 10 years....... even if bad deals were going out. we havent had bad deals ourselves for so long that its influencing even basic comprehension around here.

the concept jrue is a "bad contract" with what we'd give up is literally hilarious realgm malfeasance as it relates to reality to back up my claim

Hey, it's only 4 or 5 outgoing 1st round picks short.

Also, there is no way on Earth that Brad Steven's is the sucker who takes on Kuzma. Someone will, but it won't be him. Stevens loves high IQ, disciplined players, and Kuz is one of the dumbest and sloppiest players in the game.

Not even close. They have a great supporting cast. OG, Hart, and Bridges are better than everything we have. The only reason we're a similar team is because Giannis alone is so much better than Brunson and KAT.

If they want to tank without saying they are tanking then having Brown and Kuzma at the 3/4 is smart especially when you are getting off of Jrue's salary. Brown might take his time coming back off his meniscus injury so who knows what their start maybe. They might have a Sixers type year

They're not gonna tank, and if they were, they wouldn't need multi year contracts to do it.

It also shows how stout you need to be defensively on the wings and that a team can survive without wing protection. I will say Mitchell has taken their defense to a whole new level though. I am not sure the Bucks can find someone like him though. I like Sims and hope he comes back but he is not a rim protector. I do think he might be able to excell as a lane deterrent.

I do not believe in Brown as a primary option and one less year at a cheaper salary is still a lot of tax savings for a new owner.

If you replace Giannis with Brunson/Kat we are battling with Heat for #8 spot and in the play-in at best.

No way Brunson gets the calls in Milwaukee that he gets in NY.

We finally escape the deep drop defense, and now we're going to go get Walker Kessler? Do we hate winning in the playoffs?

The Jazz turned down 2- 1sts for Kessler, so luckily he's not an option for us.

I do agree that Brown, with his now compromised knee, will struggle.

Kessler is a younger/better/faster version of Lopez

Seems like Charlotte is dying to move Mark Williams. I’d take him for cheap even with the injury concerns. But the cheap price was probably only for the Lakers. They were dumb to veto that second gift from the league.

I maintain that Kessler is a horrible fit with Giannis for spacing reasons, but this idea that non-switchable bigs are now obsolete in the playoffs is weird. Having multiple talented 7-footers is never a bad thing.

Sure came back to bite them in the playoffs hun. And since it was after the deadline so couldn't pivot to a different big. I don't recall the full details on trade and of course we have no idea on the medicals, but he was just what they needed

I know that Patrick Williams kinda sucks, but if the Bulls are dumb enough to value flipping the 12th pick just to dump his contract and get a different young player back, I'd be all over something like this:

MIL Out: Pat, Ajax, 2031 2nd
MIL In: Williams, #12

CHI Out: Pat Williams, Jalen Smith, #12. #45
CHI In: Kuminga (S&T) - 3-yrs $72 million

GS Out: Kuminga
GS In: Jalen Smith, 2031 MIL 2nd, #45

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
