@ThrillaRilla369 No I definitely did that shit. The taste of metal and plastic in all its glory

@tyromper I noticed a ceiling effect at 5g daily too. I wasn’t sleep enough.

@MurrayHillGuy1 He won’t be doing that forever. He’s 31. Some people slow down later. I didn’t until my late 30’s

@everymovieplug Enterprise

[aaron53207 @aaron53207]

I would say naive and inexperienced. He really thought that his influence on coaching and roster decisions didn’t extend blame back to him. And when the locker room needed someone to take charge, he failed to do it. Just like he failed to reign in his own inner circle, who clearly were conspiring to drive a wedge between him and the Bucks. It took years but it eventually worked

[aaron53207 @aaron53207]

Since you have no first rounder next year and there is no reason to be bad. I say you keep Herro, maybe extend him for reasonable money and take it year by year. This could be a fun team next season. You only move him if you can get a lottery pick in one of the years they are deficient

[aaron53207 @aaron53207]

They should keep him. They have no FRP and with lottery reform there is no incentive to be bad. If you can sign him to a reasonable extension, you could take it year by year. The goal for any move should be getting a lottery pick in the years that they still don’t have one. If that isn’t offered, you stand pat.

@MikeNellis It’s about not handing a victory lap to Congress for this when they have stalled out the SAVE act. The media is forced to talk about this now. The bill becomes law in 10 days either way and Trump scores a PR victory in the process

[aaron53207 @aaron53207]

@elyisum13 It’s about denying Congress a victory lap when they have barely done anything that didn’t serve their own interests. Optics

[aaron53207 @aaron53207]

@sircalebhammer It’s called applying leverage.

[aaron53207 @aaron53207]

This team needed a leader through all of this and Giannis didn’t step up and get the players on the same page and lead by example. He didn’t get on the same page as Dame. That rings through again and again in this article. He pushed for coaching and personnel changes behind the scenes and then didn’t publicly take equal share of the blame when they went bad, despite privately acknowledging his machinations hurt the team. He let his people leak to the press and create distractions. The team is not blameless, they let Giannis exert too much control, when he clearly didn’t know what was needed to preserve a winning culture. Haslem and Edens didn’t build and maintain a relationship with Giannis, letting intermediaries handle that. Plenty of blame to go around here and it’s hard to build and maintain trust by either party under these conditions. Seems like this could have all be fixed but a handful of tough and honest conversations between ownership and Giannis one on one without all the sycophants present.

[aaron53207 @aaron53207]

Nobody commenting on the obvious. Gianni’s own people were leaking to the press and fanning the flames on all of this. I think it’s clear Giannis learned his lessons about the coach setting the culture and discipline, since he grew to miss Bud. But he didn’t get his own house in order and the team stopped trusting him and grew tired of the engineered drama. He was stolen from us by people who wanted to line their own pockets in a bigger market.

[aaron53207 @aaron53207]

This is a pretty one-sided article. All of the moves that eroded the culture were done because Giannis wanted that. Horst wanted to hire Kenny Atkinson remember. It’s also clear that the people around Giannis were leaking to the press and playing the two sides against each other. What went wrong was that ownership needed to be talking more directly to Giannis and Giannis needed to get his own people in line. He was stolen from us by greedy people who engineered this crisis to get him in a bigger market and make them more money.

[aaron53207 @aaron53207]

@CooperGoede They need picks in 27-29. Would rather they trade for those vs taking back vets

[aaron53207 @aaron53207]

@414BClay He’s definitely to blame for reaching for Dame and crippling their draft assets, plus the Adrian Griffin hire.

[aaron53207 @aaron53207]

@TCIIIESQ21 I’m not going to boo him. He doesn’t deserve that. But I’m definitely going to smirk every time he tweaks his calf and has to miss two weeks. I was never going to buy any of the shit he pumps anyway. Good products don’t need a hype man.

[aaron53207 @aaron53207]

@IsaacCollinsROY @itsjwills That’s 5 years from now. Their rebuild will be seriously stunted because they have no way to add more young talent for the next three drafts

[aaron53207 @aaron53207]

@Gam_987 @itsjwills No, but it’s probably much easier to convince them to give you back at least some of your own picks vs getting picks from another team and hoping they would be bad when those picks convey. Plus they have no FRP’s in 27 or 29 and might not in 28 either.

[aaron53207 @aaron53207]

Even if Horst had a better track record, statistically speaking most of the later round picks will end up being rotational players at best. You have to draft the right players, then you have to develop them AND they have to stay healthy. JB is a top 10 player in the NBA right now. You likely will not acquire or draft a better player than him and you can still trade him later if things continue to go bad for the Bucks.
