@paulpressey25@fmaddenNBA I think that's right, they owe a protected pick next year to Charlotte, so if the trade is to Miami, it will be agreed to before the draft, but not made official until after the draft, and MIA would pick for the Bucks.
@itsjwills I don't understand why anyone thinks Mara is going to work at the NBA level. If they're not bothering to guard him in college, who the heck is gonna care to defend him at the next level? But Yaxel and Philon? Yes, buying stock in both.
@Matteoo_afc@Bucks_Breakdown Even if Giannis doesn't stay, he's a jack of all trades forward who can defend 1-5, even at his age, that's a guy who can easily carve out a really good 10-year career.
@Bucks_Breakdown@rs_mke I'm perfectly fine with Baker being retained as an assistant on the next coach's staff - he was also on Bud's and Griffin's, so it feels like he's a guy the organization feels it's important to keep around. But I think an assistant is as high as he needs to go.
@vicious696 This is part of why it costing $40 isn't a problem IMO. If someone just gives it a download, they're not incentivized to stick it out - they just bounce off because there's no investment. $40 buy-in means you're more likely to stick it out to fully understand it.
@socialistbucks AJ is stuck guarding the 3, Cam Thomas doesn't do much on the he perimeter, and on the whole, they team just plays a brain dead form of defense where they pressure guys who aren't threats and compromise the integrity of the defense.
@blange00 One correction - no Bird rights on Thomas. As a free agent on a one-year deal, they only have non-bird rights - basically, same rights they had for KPJ last summer, so pretty limited in what they can offer using current exceptions.
@Bucks_Breakdown@BenRauman Also, really, Memphis was saying "no" to Kuzma/Portis? How the hell else would a deal get done with Milwaukee, those are the contracts that would have to be moved to get anywhere near a salary match for Ja. Clutchpoints is a deeply unserious outlet.
@flasportsbuzz If your talent acquisition strategy is "hope a star throws a big enough tantrum to force a trade to only our team and nobody else", maybe you need a different strategy.
