People on twitter saying there's no difference between Bledose and Jrue lmao...my god some people really don't know shit about basketball

I am sure Milwaukee is already working on an extension with Holiday. If not, they are fucked if he walks after next season.

I am sure his eagerness depends on giannis

It is interesting how similar the advanced stats are but It doesn't really track considering holiday is a much more dynamic scorer and passer.

Bucks got Bogdanovic. Now him with Jrue is a difference maker.

Doung everything they can to keep Giannis

 

[Heatles84]

Giannis is laughing right now. Jrue doesn't move the needle that much for Milwaukee, at least not to contend with the Lakers. And they just nuked all of their draft capital.

One step closer to Miami, eh?????

Holiday will be up for a 4 year $135M deal next year. Boggy extension is $15M I believe. Giannis supermax...that is a lot of money for just 4 players including Middleton’s huge salary

 

[bksballer89]

I for one like what the bucks are doing. It'll help in the playoffs more than the regular season. Jrue and Bogy are better than everyone on the bucks after their big 2. Can get their own buckets consistently.

 

[trojanfan12]

I may be drunk but am I seriously reading 3 first round picks and some picks swaps for fucking Jrue Holiday? Milwaukee must be even more drunk than I am

Damn. Well, they're desperate to get Giannis to stay.

Good.

Report: Lakers had Kyle Kuzma trade package on table for Jrue Holiday before Dennis Schroder deal

Imo, getting Schroder and keeping Kuzma is a better deal.

They improved the team, still have him as a trade piece if something comes up later and if they don't trade him, they still have a solid young player who hasn't hit his prime yet.

Maybe Pelinka knows what he's doing after all? lol

 

[trojanfan12]

I'll be honest. I don't think Jrue Holiday makes that much of a difference. He's just a nice player that happened to make an all star team. But the way some people (media included) talk about him, they act like he's some perennial all star talent. They'll be better, but not that much better. I'll put it this way. If he were on the Bucks this past season, I still say the Heat win that series just like they did

Yeah, he's a good player, but he doesn't improve them much. The tweet @bksballer89 posted about the Bucks going after Bogdanovich would improve them more, imo.

I agree and Jrue is more of a 2 guard/combo guard. Schroder for his price and what they gave up is the best offseason move so far imo.

Trade Notes: Bucks, Bogdanovic, Holiday, Kings, Pelicans

The deals to acquire both Jrue Holiday and Bogdan Bogdanovic took practically every asset the Bucks had left, but the …

The deals to acquire both Jrue Holiday and Bogdan Bogdanovic took practically every asset the Bucks had left, but the team now projects to have one of the NBA’s best starting lineups, according to Eric Nehm of The Athletic, who notes that Milwaukee’s new additions will join Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, and Brook Lopez in the starting five.

As Nehm writes, the Bucks’ aggressive roster overhaul should eliminate any doubt that the franchise is serious about getting Antetokounmpo the help he needs to win a title. However, the acquisitions will leave the club hard-capped and with little flexibility to fill out the rest of the roster.

Because Holiday has a series of likely and unlikely bonuses that count toward the hard cap, the Bucks will probably be limited to minimum-salary contracts as they look to fill out their roster and keep team salary below $138,928,000, tweets ESPN’s Bobby Marks.

By my rough calculations, Milwaukee would have about $27.3MM in room below the hard cap to fit in Bogdanovic’s starting salary and minimum-salary contracts for seven players. That would get the Bucks to 14 players, not counting two-ways, though they could carry just 13 for parts of the season in order to create a little more cap flexibility.

It's gonna be tough. They should be able to get a couple of decent vets looking to get a ring on minimum deals. Which will help.

Basically, they'll have to take the approach the Lakers (and to an extent, the Warriors when they got KD) did. Try to keep a starter on the floor at all times and hope the bench can outperform expectations.

He may have played himself out of their price range and from what I understand, he's been talking to the Clippers, but if I'm the Bucks, I'd be giving Rondo a call.

The Rockets got 2 1sts for Covington? Wow.

Yep and really everything fell into place for the Lakers and those players played well. Gonna be an obstacle for sure.

Milwaukee is better today than they were yesterday morning and yet if Harden winds up on either the Nets or Sixers they will still only be the third best team in the east with potentially two stars on the verge of departing via free agency. That's a god damn gamble right there lol
