Bucks offseason possibilities

[DJ Fieri]

You aren't even worth talking to.

Let me guess, Tony Snell and Ilyasova for George so they can provide cap relief?

You would think a trade like that would happen.

There is literally not a single report anywhere that OKC is looking to trade George, who they just signed last summer, but you make it seem like he is on the block to the highest bidder because of your assumption that nobody wants to pay the luxury tax.

OKC may try to trim a little salary this summer, but it won't be George or Russ. They need to run that back one more time before making a decision to deal either of them.

Worst troll ever.

 

[buckalis]

Because they need to upgrade it?

They are probably headed to the Finals. Just re-sign their own FA's and stay the course....


smh

The Bucks know that for next season, the Sixers and the Nets from the East, will end up much improved than they now are after this huge free agency that is coming up... The Sixers will probably end up much better than what the Celtics or the Raptors now are...

They also know that the Clippers, the Pelicans, the Mavericks, the Nuggets and the Grizzlies from the West will be contenders for the WCF and especially the Clippers and (now) the Pelicans could easily end up contending for the finals...

They therefore have to move the roster a step ahead, so that they can compensate for the competition advancing... Especially now that they'll be "1st targeted destination" for players available in trades and FAs...

It will be very difficult to beat GSW in the finals this season and therefore they have to secure that they will be the favorites to win it next season, which was the original plan before the season started... The Bucks ending up to be contenders from this season, came up in the way... It wasn't the original plan.

We have players that are aging on Hill, Ilyasova and Lopez and still miss a true No2 in the starting roster as well as a back up at 3/4 and another back up at 4/5...

The only thing a troll like you ever does, is inventing proposals and put them on the other's mouth, that were never mentioned... I guess it also proves trolls the others that are backing you up and approve you doing that "troll tactics"...

@tlance is a troll?Slowdown there new guy.

 

[Wamu]

The 15,000 word wall of text that we will be subjected to when Wiggy decides to prove that he is the bigger homer...

that blood is on your hands.

I thought you were busy setting up a campaign for governor of CO, now that the Pels are keeping AD...

I'm didn't call anybody a troll mate... I only have stated what a troll does by definition... It's the facts that prove trolls.

You are too funny.

So now the Clippers, Pelicans, Grizzlies and Mavericks are the teams to beat out West?

Clippers could be a contender if they sign Kawhi.

But to totally dismiss all the current West powers is ludicrous. The NBA doesn't turn over that fast.

Nuggets, Rockets and Warriors going to be in the conversation and probably 2 or 3 of the teams you mentioned as "contenders" won't even make the playoffs.

Yes you did call him a troll. These are your words- the only thing a troll like you ever does. Comment # 103. You call someone a troll & then try to deny it.

You shouldn't try to deny something you've already said.

OKC may try to trim a little salary this summer, but it won't be George or Russ. They need to run that back one more time before making a decision to deal either of them.

That could make for an interesting decision for OKC if they get the same result as they have the past 2 seasons.

On the one hand, he's a great player, fun to watch, he stayed when KD left, OKC fans love him and will "fight to the death" defending him and he recruited PG.

On the other hand, he seems to be what is holding them back because he can't bring himself to change the way he plays enough to work consistently with another star. In many ways, he's like Iverson with defense.

If you're OKC...do you pull that trigger? Or do you stick with your guy and look to move PG?

How would the fans react?

No, most defintely did call me a troll. The text is right there.

I am not trolling. Just calling you out for your horrifically bad takes.

Slow your role a bit and just enjoy your Bucks run.

Because if they do what you suggest and fail to pay Middleton and Brogdon, who are both UFA, you will see first hand just how wrong you are about Milwaukee being a destination franchise.

Milwaukee could have a nice long window to contend and probably even get a title or 2 (maybe even this year). But assuming they can upgrade in free agency is a gamble that can cost them everything.

Every one of these free agents has earned a significant contract next year:

Middleton
Brogdon
Mirotic
Lopez

You simply cannot maintain a championship caliber team in the NBA for more than a year or 2 if your owner isn't willing to exceed the cap and go into the luxury tax. That is the reality of the current CBA and the financial structure of the league.

 

[trojanfan12]

I am quite sure there are plenty Bojan Bogdanovich's willing to play in Milwaukee.

Middleton is a lot better than Bojan. Bojan is not a difference maker. Saying the Bucks are "the number 1 free agent destination" implies they are getting a Kawhi or KD type.

Of course they're the #1 free agent destination. Everyone knows that NBA superstars love cheese.

In time?

Yeah. They may have to move 1 or even both.

But not this summer.

And @buckalis keeps taking about it like Milwaukee has the assets and OKC is looking to move him. I have no reason to believe either is true.

I love cheese.....making chili cheese dogs on Sunday for lunch. Just got home from Staters.

The Mavs (possible but the WC is stacked) and Grizzlies (LOL)? The Pels?



Making guarantees there.....LOL.

Yeah, I don't think they do anything this summer re: RW or PG. They may look to tweak their roster a little, but I'd be surprised if they move either one.

Even if the Bucks could pull off a trade for Westbrook, why would they? As of right now, the absolute worst they are looking at is making it to game 6 of the ECF (and that would mean losing 4 straight to the Raptors, which isn't happening) and are probably going to the finals. And they're doing it because they play like a team. Seems like Westbrook would mess that up.

 

[trojanfan12]

I love cheese

You should move to Milwaukee with all of the NBA star players that are going there.

 

[kburjr]

Trolls are the spice of life on a message board. Better than a bunch of GM wannabes talking shit they know nothing about.

The other thing a troll does is denying that the definition of 'what a troll is" was stated... Now don't insist I called you a troll too, because I didn't... The third thing a troll does, is cutting a phrase so that he alters the meaning... For instance, my phrase was: "The only thing a troll like you ever does, is inventing proposals and put them on the other's mouth... which if read in English has a totally different meaning that what you claim I ever said... Off course you guys are not trolls... you only do exactly what trolls are doing...

Calls someone a troll

Denies calling someone a troll.

Is shown the very post quoting him calling someone a troll.

Quotes the same post where he called someone a troll and still denies calling someone a troll.

Fucking priceless.
