id be easier on marjon if this wasnt a common occurance, but hes just never showing up

LETS GO GANGGG

hes not even really much of a trade piece

understandable. aj johnson has done more than enough to make me feel good tonight
vast tulip
nothing to be afraid about there, no reason to accept his 5m option next year
hopefully he surprises us all and balls out consistently after this game

AJ Johnson was the best player on the court lets gooo

they said point differential mattered

Pt diff matters in making the semi for the Clips
vast tulip
hell be like a role player
he will get some garbage minutes, maybe if we get hurt he scratches the end of the rotation
analog remnant
Dame will invite AJ Johnson to practice half court 3 pt shit with him every morning

Clippers r 3-0 so it makes sense for them

0-4 that’s tough
wild sail
dunno why we play fast, usually as a coach you tell young guys to slow things down
they learn literally nothing from this run n gun style
bold cape
well we play fast cuz its all young guys who have barely played together, have limited sets to run, etc
and guys wanna show out
instead of play teamball
to win a roster spot
wild sail
that's what i'm saying, they play like that naturally. there is literally no coaching involved
it's my main frustration this summer league
tidal hamlet
Johnson and Livingstone play off eachother pretty well
wild sail
we have talented guys and coaches are sleeping
bold cape
why arent they talking about how the bucks didnt have their big 3 on the court much last year
light cipher
Good find by AJ
tidal hamlet
man MarJons effort on defense is honestly embarrassing sometimes
dude does not seem interested in defending
tidal hamlet
smells like a comeback 👃
wild sail
that's my rookie

AJ nice
light cipher
Yeah Ty Ty and Livingston have been good
normal hornet
thanks Livingston.
trying to make us look respectable
vast tulip
our kid is ruined
He has to be mentally down rn, this is not at all the outcome he wants/needs
tidal hamlet
effort has not been great
wild sail
He has to be mentally down rn, this is not at all the outcome he wants/needs
if he feels pressure in summer league, with guaranteed contract and all, then he's finished. i'm sad
tidal hamlet
i get losing but standing around flat footed is pretty bad
vast tulip
if he feels pressure in summer league, with guaranteed contract and all, then he...

who would have thought
vast tulip
wow what a weird concept, badji a tall guy actually impacts the game
we started him in game 1, which was our best game
that game I thought fs we were gonna go like 2-2
sage token
A big that Can actually play defense
wild sail
he's not even good. the guy probably has to change sport to volleyball
but you just need big men
running all small ball lineups was traumatising for me the other day
coarse parrot
what a crazy summer league score
normal hornet
ive said multiple times,
Centers just do different things that others cant.
and, even just having a large person in the way changes things
screens and picks r so important in todays game.
u need a wide body

oh ok i was away for a min

Are we cooked
i would have had a better time mowing the lawn

AJ Green wouldnt have helped really
I dont think he has the skillset to take over these games when we look this piss poor
halcyon kelp
Nah hed drop 70 every game shooting 100% from three
vast tulip
u right my bad
halcyon kelp
Nope I started following the bucks last year

ahhh.
he wasnt a Buck.
just a former nba guy

that's sad. better late than never though

i would have had a better time mowing the lawn
i just did the backyard
no shirt, super hot.
immediately into cold shower

Leave Marjon in Vegas bruh
normal hornet
no
bold cape
marjon is struggling
stable jolt
I’m positive that Marjon is not NBA caliber
bold cape
but idk if this is the best format for him to showcase
modest light
Yeah, I-
vast tulip
but idk if this is the best format for him to showcase
playing well here would probably bode better for him having a chance at the real showcase
modest light
dude
bold cape
hes being asked to be a number 1 scorer on this team. in reality he will be a 4-5th option wing guy if he ever cracks the rotation
bold cape
playing well here would probably bode better for him having a chance at the real...
ya, it helps of course
modest light
Are we seriously gonna have to ponder cutting Marjon?
coarse parrot
Why would we do that?
bold cape
bucks brought in some guys to workout
coarse parrot
He can just sit on the bench lol.
normal hornet
wer not cutting marjon or pat
vast tulip
I mean he has a 5m option next year, the FO will weigh whether thats worth it or not, I doubt we just cut him
bold cape
we have one more year till a team option, right?
modest light
Why would we do that?
Who the hell is gonna want him?
wild sail
our rookies have better chemistry than dame and giannis
vast tulip
we have one more year till a team option, right?
this is his last szn before a 4.7m option
coarse parrot
Who the hell is gonna want him?
He doesn’t have to go anywhere he can just not play lol
bold cape
so expect a lot of changes next year
idk if marjon is worth another 4.7mil to see if he pans out
so this is his last chance
vast tulip
I agree
modest light
He doesn’t have to go anywhere he can just not play lol
yeah but that takes up a roster spot we could maybe use to bolster big man depth
bold cape
we are a win now team
vast tulip
he needs to play well in whatever rotation time he gets, its the only way
halcyon kelp
our rookies have better chemistry than dame and giannis
That's a wild take but ok
coarse parrot
Even with Ziaire Williams who seems to have actual upside, the Grizzlies had to attach a srp to get rid of him
stable jolt
Rollins is so much better than Marjon
bold cape
if we go with justice winslow instead of him
normal hornet
vast tulip
Rollins is a dawg
coarse parrot
yeah but that takes up a roster spot we could maybe use to bolster big man depth
Is the big man in the room with us
bold cape
suns doing some harlem globetrotters shit
vast tulip
itll be a packed offseason next year
normal hornet
midds, probably declined P.O. and signs 2 yr extension
vast tulip
lots of choices
modest light
Is the big man in the room with us
Whatchu mean? Ty Smith?
normal hornet
Pat, just takes his P.O.
Bobby....IDK
wild sail
That's a wild take but ok
chemistry, not talent. tyler screened perfectly and johnson shot that three wide open. dame and giannis struggled to do this all season
coarse parrot
Whatchu mean? Ty Smith?
I’m saying what additional big man do you want on the roster
normal hornet
brook, delon, prince, gary......all FAs
modest light
I’m saying what additional big man do you want on the roster
idk, Theis would be nice
coarse parrot
idk, Theis would be nice
He already signed with the Pelicans
modest light
shit, really?
vast tulip
Pat, just takes his P.O.
Bobby....IDK
Bobby I believe will extend but whether thats with the PO or not idk
normal hornet
marjon, Team Option.
probably still accept it.
4.7 is pretty cheap.
and anyone else at that price or lower, is about the same value.
unless, we find more delons

the one that's still NBA caliber
sage token
Johnson the goat
wild sail
tepid finch
no chance marjon gets the team option unless he cracks a spot in the rotation this year IMO. at best, he rides the bench again, the bucks decline, and get him on the min. he's got no value, and we could still match an offer if it was low and the bucks wanted to
shell ledge
How's the game

Again, why would we want him on the min if he has no future in the NBA?

AJjohnson,
u gotta learn a floater.
ur not gonna finish over bigs with those weak ass layups
didnt Marjon have braids last game ?
vast tulip
yes
modest light
God Tyty is not coming back
normal hornet
looks like we destoyed Wigginton and now Tyty

I mean we kinda just wasted Wiggington
not sure if there is anything to waste with Washington

it was a good chance to take

didnt hurt us none

he needs muscle first
but ya, thats not gonna work with his current frame
vast tulip
for his size he is not bad at attacking the rim
wild sail
yeah i thought he'd be a lot weaker
vast tulip
im sure he would get targeted tf out of in an nba game, but theres obvious potential here
wild sail
he's actually holding his own
normal hornet
AJjohson does great getting into the lane
but, them weak layups, gonna get swatted or hes going to get crushed
has to learn a push shot or floater
tidal hamlet
putting on some weight will help so he can get into guys bodies
he's just too weak right now
wild sail
the most important thing for him is to get bigger naturally and slowly. i've seen so many times injuries happen from bulking too quick
bold cape
for his size he is not bad at attacking the rim
yea hes not bad cuz hes so long
gets around people
and quick
normal hornet
he couldnt bulk if he wanted too.
hes got a slim frame.
tepid finch
about 10-15 lbs of muscle would put him closer to dejounte murray size, which would be a pretty good goal for him
normal hornet
like 30+ lbs
tidal hamlet
yeah
tepid finch
nah, he needs to get to about 180-185 and he'll be fine
normal hornet
thats gonna take a long time to get
vast tulip
I dont think hes going past 185
tidal hamlet
year or two probably
bold cape
they dont evne know if bucks signed GTJ or not
vast tulip
is he officially signed yet
bold cape
theyre like UHHHHH?!
vast tulip
I dont think so

theyre like UHHHHH?!

Worst team in SL and AJ Johnson went 0-12 let's gooooo
I'm still gonna find a replay and watch.
But glad I didn't settle in to watch
vast tulip
Same I didn't tune into this one I think I've already got my thoughts abt it
normal hornet
I was so mad last game.
I know it's SL.
But it still matters cause those guys r on the Bucks team
And to win a Cship,
Everybody has to contribute
vast tulip
I agree these aren't randoms we r playing it's actual end of roster players
vast tulip
There was a lot of disorganization and lack of understanding out there so I'm not fully on board to blame it on the players
We did not look like other sl teams
Shots did not fall, passes were not good, no size, outside of a few guys kinda slow/bad shots
normal hornet
Yea,
It's coaching too.
Our assistant coaches.
Y play 1 center only.
And randomly
vast tulip
I don't really think anybody boosted their chances, if they even had any chance, to stand out for that 9th/10th man
Which is kinda what we were looking for
So we just have to wait and see
severe light
Even the Lakers got a win
I just want Marjon traded tbh
Nothing against him he just doesn't work on this team
vast tulip
I suppose, but honestly after that Ziaire Williams trade we might need to add stuff to move him
What is the point of that much rather let him expire after this year
severe light
I mean for our sake I hope we keep him and by some glory of god he becomes a decent player
But Doc isn't gonna play him
normal hornet
I'd b ok with a trade if it got us a big in return.
Even if he currently has the same chance and value as Marjon
vast tulip
Would you be comfortable giving up Marjon and a 2nd for a decently irrelevant big
That's basically exactly what happened the other day
I'm sure the team views it differently and maybe I'm talking out of my ass but I don't see much a difference in scenarios between yesterday and what we talking about now
wild sail
if he's injured or not recovered yet, then that explains his poor performance
but normally we would pick his club option no doubt
vast tulip
He did say before summer league that he doesn't deserve to be there anymore and he'd prove it
I'm totally just making a speculation but idk if you'd say that if ur hurt and it's affecting your performance
severe light
You're right he needs to go back to the G League
vast tulip
I hope he balls out when he gets pt, I still think what he can theoretically do is very helpful for us
severe light
Doc didn't play him last year
normal hornet
That's basically exactly what happened the other day
Which move r I talking about?
severe light
Why would he play him this year after this diasterclass
vast tulip
Which move r I talking about?
Ziaire Williams and a SRP for Mamadi Diakite
He was the 10th overall pick in 2021 but never did much
normal hornet
That's probably just a $ thing
vast tulip
Why would he play him this year after this diasterclass
Garbage minutes, up by a lot or down by a lot
normal hornet
Idk Zaire at all
vast tulip
He's just a first round pick who never played all that well in any minutes he got
Entering his 4th year
normal hornet
So, he's Tyty
vast tulip
My point is I don't think you can get rid of Marjon without attaching a srp
That's just my view, maybe GMs think differently of Marjon
To me that's not worth it at all
normal hornet
It'd have to b a team with a log jam of bigs
That just want to move their big for a wing.
Neither side making $ improvements
vast tulip
I still wouldn't trade a srp for the quality of big in return
And Jim keeps saying it, we don't usually carry 5 capable bigs....and they see Tyler as the 4th
wild sail
he did have a good block today
vast tulip
I agree, hes a stretch 4
But it's too early to tell how he develops and what he becomes better at
normal hornet
Yea.
He should b able to get help blocks, weak side blocks
bold cape
And Jim keeps saying it, we don't usually carry 5 capable bigs....and they see T...
we barely carry 4
vast tulip
When was the last time we carried 4 capable bigs
bold cape
having a traditional center is already rare

Robin Lopez does not count

having more than one is more rare
