@Dom_Cotroneo This is fair. There were not a ton of big names on the offensive side of the ball. Almost everyone that got traded is more of a role player than a true game changer. What I would say is if you are willing to go all in on Skubal, why not offer the same deal for Abrams, etc?

[Dan Dragan @dadragan]

@JeriTsaiNets Then Giannis stays and finishes his career in Milwaukee. This isn’t hard. Miami pays up or walks away with nothing

@cheeseheadtv @RobDemovsky Lll

[Dan Dragan @dadragan]

@TiWindisch Rotation level guys buy you a first round exit. I’m not sure that’s what Bucks fans should be aiming for.

[Dan Dragan @dadragan]

@ThunderMKE @espnhomer A duo that should return for one night...Like Braun and Fielder in the upcoming alumni homerun derby!

[Dan Dragan @dadragan]

@brewcitypaul If Giannis wants them anything is possible. We saw that with Turner. Milwaukee is a destination now, because we have one of the best players in the world. There is no leverage here, both guys are looking at minimum deals. I don’t think they are playing us

[Dan Dragan @dadragan]

@TiWindisch But they'll still live in that 7-10 area. Milwaukee has been there and the only way out is finding the next superstar. NAW is very solid, but I'm not sure he changes the trajectory of a franchise. At some point the Hawks would need to land a star. Not sure that will happen.

[Dan Dragan @dadragan]

@TiWindisch It’s a gap year. That’s exactly what the aim should be. Brook and Bobby’s contracts have held us down for years. We finally found a taker for Middleton. Best option is to let those two walk. Horst then has 2 years to figure it out. By then you can upgrade from Bryant.

[Dan Dragan @dadragan]

@brewcitypaul I get wanting guys that can contribute to roster. The chance of finding that is slim at 47. I would rather save that spot for Horst to build with NBA players that are still under the age of 30. As long as Horst gets younger via trade and FA I’m fine with it.

[Dan Dragan @dadragan]

@TiWindisch I understand that. But Giannis has not followed the typical NBA rules. And he has had many opportunities before this to act like a Durant, or Kawhi or Kyrie and never has. At some point, we have to believe that is who he is

[Dan Dragan @dadragan]

@TiWindisch When has Giannis ever said he’s leaving? I’d like to know, because i don’t understand where this fear originates from.

[Dan Dragan @dadragan]

@JoeMcCann3 @BrianS_chicago @forney_brad How many development spots does one team need. Marquette already has about 4-5 in development spots. This method will be the downfall for Shaka. There is a reason no other teams are looking his way anymore. I don’t love the landscape, but you have to adjust.

[Dan Dragan @dadragan]

@toddjdub Doing well my man! Just living and dying with every Marquette game here in Montana! Hope all is well!
And yes I completely agree. Shaka has great core to work with. Promising young talent and not all teams can say that. But I do think we need to supplement!

[Dan Dragan @dadragan]

@LeoFarry @FB_goatlake @BE_GoldenEagle There is no “our way”. “Our way” should always be to win at all costs. That’s the way. If that’s with our own guys great. If that’s going to the portal to get better talent, than that’s what has to happen.

[Dan Dragan @dadragan]

@WarriorMu89 @4ndrewBarnes Owens, Parham, Clark, Sean Jones, Norman. 5 right there. We live in 2025 if there are better players you go buy them. Do I appreciate those guys and do they have futures? Most definitely. I’m just saying I’d take Kadary Richmond over Tre Norman. I think that’s reasonable.

[Dan Dragan @dadragan]

@BenSteeleMJS This is a fantastic story! We know the work they do on the court, but this is an awesome look at life off of it! Shaka speaks all the time of a family culture and the Joplins live it!

[Dan Dragan @dadragan]

@TiWindisch Remember this trade is about the future. Opening money to make a big splash and build around Giannis. It’s not about Kuzma or anything else the Wizards send back.

[Dan Dragan @dadragan]

@DaChicagoBadger As it stands now. Fickell has to have his eyes on more proven players. You can’t improve the offense only to ignore the back end of the defense. Too many teams will just light them up through the air

[Dan Dragan @dadragan]

@espnhomer Is Fickell on the hot seat or will McIntosh give him one more season with a new o coordinator?
