@TA1297 If I’m connecting Amick’s dots correctly this could be a trade framework:
Bucks get picks, young players
Celtics get Giannis and Naz Reid?
Minny gets Derrick White
Portland gets Jaylen Brown
@TA1297 Yeah, I think the endgame to it all is you guys move 27 up into the top 18, and that’s the only pick that goes to us.
Jaylen, then, gets shopped by us over the summer for additional assets.
@TA1297 As a Bucks fan that’s following the breadcrumbs, my read is that they’re haggling with y’all over picks. Specifically Boston acquiring a top 18 pick for pick 27, and maybe a future pick.
The Bucks seem to want Jaylen plus a good ‘26 pick and another future pick.
@Bucks_Breakdown So, we want multiple top 10 picks, and multiple picks in the 11-20 range? Don’t think that happens without getting Jaylen Brown and shipping him out to Atlanta
@chudyj22@itsjwills I don’t really care about the ATL players, but getting picks 8 and 23 in this draft are absolutely worth taking that imo.
I don’t like Miami’s players at all since Spo couldn’t get effort from Wade at all. I could get behind Portland if it’s our picks plus Scoot and Shaedon
@TiWindisch Thought of this earlier today:
Bucks get Henderson, Grant, Hansen, our picks back from Portland, pick 27 & 40 this year and 1-2 more future picks from BOS
Celtics get Giannis
Portland gets Jaylen Brown
If Bobby goes to Boston too, Hauser needs to go to us for a salary match
@squaresense Something like:
Bucks get Henderson, Grant, Hansen, our picks back from Portland, pick 27 & 40 this year from BOS and 1-2 more future picks
Celtics get Giannis
Portland gets Jaylen Brown
If Bobby goes to Boston too, Hauser needs to go to us for salary purposes
BREAKING: Right-hander Shane Baz and the Baltimore Orioles are finalizing a five-year, $68 million contract extension, sources tell ESPN. Baz, 26, joined the Orioles in a trade from Tampa Bay this winter and is poised to get a big payday coming off his first full healthy season.
The NBA presented three comprehensive anti-tanking concepts to its Board of Governors on Wednesday, with modifications expected to each before a formal vote in May, per ESPN sources.
1. 18 teams in draft lottery (seeds 7-15 in each conference) – flattened odds, with bottom 10 teams having an 8% chance, the remaining 20% odds distributed in decreasing order for 11 through 18, and and a lottery drawing for all 18 picks.
2) 22 teams in lottery using 2-year record (seeds 7-15, plus the four playoff first round exits in both conferences). Lottery teams would reach a minimum win total floor in each season, such as 25 wins. If a team falls short of the floor, it gets slotted to meet the floor. Top 4 drawn as part of lottery, as is currently.
3) 18 teams in a "5 by 5" lottery – bottom 5 teams have equal odds for the top pick, with lottery formed for picks 1-5. Bottom 5 teams have a floor at 10; those that fall out of top 5 get sorted in a separate drawing.
@ESPNFANSUPPORT Could you guys please remove Steph Curry from the Undroppable list? I’m in my championship week and want to stream his roster spot now that he’s out for another 10 days
@TiWindisch The real question is if we’re without Bobby and Sims, how does Doc still limit Myles Turner to under 25 minutes? (Sarcasm, just hate how Doc uses/doesn’t use him. Please retire Doc)
Report: Giannis Antetokounmpo could be traded from the Bucks in 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, or 2030 per ESPN insiders.
The Bucks superstar may or may not be traded in the future. 👀
@TiWindisch Would also set them up to auction off McDaniels to the highest bidder at the draft for even more picks in this class and future classes too
