we freaked out about this earlier

#

wild times

#

Sam Vecenie thinks Gafford could still get the Mavs a first round pick even on his new contract.

#

I truly wonder what Bobby’s value is

weak sierra
#

Sam Vecenie also thinks thsi Jrue deal is "good" for Portland.

steady swift
#

I mean. All the reporters are saying that, which is kinda funny

weak sierra
#

I know right

#

What the fuck does Silver have on them

restive barn
#

I think it’s more than Anfernee isn’t good

#

People that have watched Blazers have been saying that

loud geode
#

I'm sure Blazers fans are happy to be rid of him; not so much the picks.

#

Or having to take on Jrue's terrible contract.

steady swift
#

Jrue in Portland I kind of get. They are overdosing on defense. Just don’t understand them having to give up srps

restive barn
#

I was high on Simons because of his numbers on paper and the one Blazers game I watched last season but people who watched a lot of Blazers games disagree

#

That he’s just a chucker on a bad team with nothing else to his game

restive barn
#

To me they’re nothing

loud geode
#

...which means he'll fit Boston's scheme perfectly: he can chuck threes while letting others play D.

steady swift

#

Seems like there were other suitors for Jrue and Portland actually wants Jrue..not just to flip him

#

I bet that means there were some other solid solid Jrue offers out there

restive barn
#

And on the other end, White gets even more of a defensive load so his offensive production might suffer

#

Regardless, without Tatum, that team is gonna look pretty lost on offense. He was their playmaker (not in a conventional sense but his scoring threat opened up defenses in a way that was the catalyst for their offensive style, I don’t think Brown or Anfernee can bring that)

loud geode
#

Well, Boston's not done. Still gotta see what they can get for KP.

loud geode
#

And maybe Hauser too.

#

(Please send him to the Bucks.)

#

Pritchard averaging 25 for them

#

I’m expecting another big trade from Boston, not including KP

#

Who else?

Breaking up the Jays?!

#

Anfernee just has not grown into the player that people hoped he could be

#

Maybe on a better team he's more efficient but he's always going to suck at defense

#

Someone in another chat read between the lines and noticed that we've worked out Max Shulga a second time now

#

23 y.o. senior combo guard out of VCU

#

lemme get the Vecenie writeup

#

he's a shooter that can drive but probably isn't enough of playmaker to be a true PG in the NBA

#

good defender

#

not terribly athletic though and doesn't have seem to have that one standout skill that you really want in an NBA player

#

just decent at most things

steady swift
#

Vecenie has us taking Rocco

#

In his mock. Huge Australian guy lmao

#

Some last-minute Bucks pre-draft workouts:
︀︀— PG Tyrese Hunter, a Racine native who ended his fine college career at Memphis after excelling at Iowa State and Texas.
︀︀ — SG Max Shulga, a native of Kyiv, Ukraine, who finished his college career on a high note by averaging 15 points and 5.9 rebounds for VCU.

#

I'd be pretty pumped about Adou Thiero, Jamir Watkins, Micah Peavy

#

Old heads within the org still talk to Gery, but it's his crotchety saltiness towards the Bucks that makes him unbearable

#

He was plugged in to the Kohl regime in a big way

#

When the changing of the guard happened, I think his access was reduced a bit and he's been bitchy about it ever since

steady swift
#

Don’t see how Adou is possible unless we move up

weak sierra
#

Who knows, the 2nd round is always a crap shoot, players fall all the time

#

Mocks last year had Bona, Cam Christie as early 2nds last year and they slipped to the 40s

#

Year before Max Lewis, Jackson-Davis the year prior

#

But aware, Peavy is most likely the one available for us

from the updates ESPN mock

weak sierra
#

He's got the stocks

#

But that wingspan feels like a problem when it comes to positional versatility

#

Especially at 190 lbs

restive barn
#

I feel like stocks at a college level can be deceiving

#

Cause the competition you’re facing is more prone to errors

steady swift
#

ESPN/Givony still saying Javon Small
The Athletic/Vecenie still saying Rocco

#

if we don’t move up I simply won’t care

weak sierra
#

Kind of like summer league, if you ball out, doesn't mean much, if you look like you don't belong, probably not a good indicator

If the Hornets roster all four rookies, Josh Okogie’s roster spot could be up in the air. Assuming they retain Mann, let Seth and Taj walk and waive Jeffries, they have 15 rostered players.
︀︀
︀︀The easiest path to opening up a spot is waiving Okogie’s non-guaranteed contract.

beautiful contract

#

and he’s a water sign… come on down Mr. Whitmore

#

Do the Rockets still want Brook? 🧐

floral flume
#

Rockets fans I know don't think he'd be that expensive either

#

Like a solidly protected FRP

#

But they all still like him it's just there's no opportunity for him in Houston

steady swift
#

Brook is more valuable than a dumb frp

floral flume
#

Nah

#

But together

#

Hmmm

steady swift
#

S&T Brook to the Spurs for srps

#

Use srps to get Cam

#

All I know is we need to try and get 2026 picks somehow

steady swift
#

@weak sierra thoughts on Okogie and Cam Whitmore?

weak sierra
#

Ill pass on Okogie

#

non shooter good defender, not a fit with Giannis

#

Whitmore doesn't feel viable with the money we have?

#

He's on a standard rookie deal

#

Side note, people should talk more about Taj Gibson playing at 40 and what this means for Lebron's legacy

#

(he's in the same boat with the Okogie NGd cut)

“Free agency doesn't officially start until Monday at 6 PM ET, but league sources say that numerous teams are operating under the belief that the Sacramento Kings have the best chance to sign Dennis Schröder away from the Detroit Pistons, while the Dallas Mavericks are increasingly regarded as the favorites to sign D'Angelo Russell.

The early ballpark for Schröder is a first-year salary in a new deal that matches the full $14.1 million midlevel exception.”

Bobby and Brook bidding wars, I can’t.

finite coyote
#

what would u offer bobby vs brook if you are say, the clippers

#

3 yrs for bob

#

2 for brook?

steady swift
#

For a sign & trade I believe the contract has to be three years

finite coyote
#

oh i didnt know that

#

but they dont need to be SandT'd, do they?

#

or do they for the money to work out on the clippers end

#

bucks would love for that of course

steady swift
#

i’m not exactly sure. but given the cap restraints this year, people are expecting more of them to take place

#

For example, if Bobby wants more than 14.1m from a team that isn’t the bucks, he has no choice but to do a sign & trade

finite coyote
#

yea i get bobs situation a bit more than brooks i think

#

he just saw naz get 25mil too

I don’t think Brook has to do a sign & trade unless he wants more than 5ish million per year

someone informed me of this neat rule within the "hard capped at the first apron if you take in more money then you send out"

this has noting to do with us I just thought its neat

basically you can take more money in if you are getting two players and the 2nd player isn't needed for salary matching (fits in the minimum salary exception)

did we not pick up sears for PG depth?

I feel like he'd be fine at like 8-12 minutes

floral flume

He's a two way

#

We picked him up for a quality summer league and g league body

#

Anything past that is not expected

hushed marsh
#

If he shows out would we have to get him on a different deal to get him in the roster?

floral flume
#

Two ways can play with the main guys for a certain amount of games, till eventually they'll be required to be on a real deal before continuing

#

But to get this you reallly have to show out, not just in summer league but those few NBA games you might check in for

#

AJ Green is an example

tawdry dome
#

I feel like Sears will probably get some play for us

#

he's a fully developed player, g-league reps would just be to keep him limber

Surprised people think there's a value gap between nurkic and sexton

sturdy lake

I mean nurkic is fucking awful lol

weak sierra
#

Sexton is fucking horrific lol

#

Which one of these looks like the more useful player?

sturdy lake
#

One was playing in Utah the entire year and one was playing on a team that was trying for over half the year though. Sexton definitely not great by any means but nurkic is just brutal

weak sierra
#

Defending Sexton and then calling Nurkic just brutal is a choice.

sturdy lake
#

Okay

#

Nurkic and sexton are not two players worth arguing for lol but I’m sure most people would prefer sexton when compared to Nurkic

weak sierra
#

If we're determining value to a team based on ppgzzzz and nothing else sure.

sturdy lake
#

Team situations can definitely have an impact though, I firmly believe that. Can definitely effect how a player plays/effort

weak sierra
#

These numbers are for the last 4 years.

sturdy lake
#

Okay but this is present day lmao

weak sierra
#

Which is why this year, present day is included in this sample.

#

You're saying situations can have an impact on performance when the sample included shows a consistent trend despite team performance

sturdy lake
#

Okay but the last 4 years doesn’t tell you what the player gives TODAY

weak sierra
#

Lol

#

C'mon, you've got a guy being horrible for 4 years and you're projecting what he gives you TODAY?

#

I’ll just let you have this one man lmao you love to play devils advocate

weak sierra
#

I'd say we have a pretty good indicator.

#

This isn't what playing devil's advocate is.

sturdy lake
#

I mean the common thought across the league really seems to be pro Sexton in this situation. So I would say yeah it is

#

Just like your thoughts on Kornet and the common thoughts across the league on him getting paid

#

And Bobby taking a pretty friendly deal

Utah jazz basketball decisions are always correct!

Obviously you would have to add picks but this is possible if you make the Livingston and Royce trades separate so Phoenix doesn’t break the second apron rules @kind socket

kind socket
# steady swift Obviously you would have to add picks but this is possible if you make the Livin...

I know it's kinda hypocritical for me to be the one saying it, but I'm not sure why the Nets or Suns would do this. The Nets at least make some sense since I assume they'd be getting our 2031 FRP and probably a SRP or two from us. However, I'm not sure why the Suns would do this at all. They'd be getting rid of $27mil in salary just to take back $25mil. If anything, I feel like the Suns getting Day'Ron Sharpe or Cam Johnson makes more sense for them.

#

That being said, at that point I'd just leave the Suns out of it and trade directly with the Nets.

#

I'm going to counter with this. Now it might be a little steep, but I think they may bite at this.

#

One FRP swap is for Cam Johnson, and the other is to get them to take Kuzma.

Copying this free agency report here. Marc Stein and Jake Fischer have somehow become the kings of off-season slop

  • Atlanta are the front-runners for NAW
  • Detroit interested in Caris Levert, maybe Duncan Robinson as well
  • Memphis interested in Ty Jerome but it will depend on how much money they have
  • Memphis will match any offer given to Santi Aldama
  • Memphis trying to salary dump Cole Anthony
  • Ayton will be at the top of the center market (impacts Brook and others)
  • Mavs looking to trade Omax to increase roster flexibility (I would definitely be interested from a Bucks perspective)
  • Orlando trying to sign Tyus Jones
restive barn

Who’s Omax again?

#

My mind went to Omar Casspi for some reason lol

steady swift
#

Olivier-Maxence Prosper, former Marquette player

#

22 year-old wing

#

Only makes 3m, would fit into the TPE

steady swift
#

I am once again pointing out that signing Day’Ron into our TPE (7.2m) would give him more money than basically any other team is offering for a back-up big GiannisSmoothie

#

His contract is guaranteed today, hoping he gets waived by the afternoon https://fixupx.com/richierandall/status/1938549618876539279?s=46&t=BnoeKt0WpxsWC7idHDs6rQ

#

Hello I'm here to manifest a Kuzma/31 1st for Trey Murphy trade

floral flume
#

i thought its interesting the pacers owner has never paid tax before

#

it gives me hope

hushed marsh
#

this is perfect for us

#

Do the pacers wanna do it though?

floral flume
#

we dont know, its just something that is an idea

hushed marsh
#

is it js to salary dump for them

floral flume
#

its to avoid the luxury tax

hushed marsh
#

and the nets get some solid pieces

floral flume
#

they get Claxton who makes less than what Turner would get

#

nets get a FRP for Clax like weve been saying

hushed marsh
#

yeah

floral flume
#

but Turner on a deal like that, im interested but wary

hushed marsh
#

this would be sick if it happened

floral flume
#

4/120 is a lot

hushed marsh
#

wait do we even have the money to get him on that?

#

oh it's 30/year not 40 mb

floral flume
#

well its a sign and trade, so we use the Kuzma salary...idk if it matches up exactly but its close

hushed marsh
#

It's like 7 mil short

#

I think

#

Kuz is making 23

#

Does the 7.1 mil trade exception go into that?

#

is that how it works

#

if we do this though then do we have the space below the 1st apron to go get 2 minimum contracts and pick up a free agent on our MLE

floral flume
#

tbh im not exactly sure but the nets friend who told me that is smart, and fanspo trade machine says its good...so lets ride

floral flume
#

but idk

#

im gonna hope we do something like that

floral flume
#

screenshot what

hushed marsh
#

of the trade machine

#

like what it said

floral flume
#

I deleted the tab lol, but if u go on fanspo and but roughly 30m of salary our way and Kuzma out

#

it worked

hushed marsh
#

sick

#

I think it's overall a good deal for all three teams involved too

steady swift
#

Putting this here too:

I’m now all in on a Herb Jones trade into the MLE.

Pelicans have an incentive to keep us competitive, since Atlanta now owns our 2026 pick swap with them. Everyone laughed at them after the draft bc we might suck. Giving us a good player in exchange for another pick actually makes sense for all parties

floral flume
#

how does trading into the MLE work

hushed marsh
#

who knows dude

#

Even the "official NBA media" guys are getting shit wildly wrong

steady swift
#

Actual real life contenders are holding onto their picks against Giannis asks out, now is the perfect time for a sneaky trade

fallow flare
#

Players salary just needs to fit into the MLE total

hushed marsh
weak sierra
hushed marsh
#

okay

#

like you're confident?

#

Because the new cba rules have no consistency across sources

weak sierra
#

The MLE is a concession the league makes to give teams under the apron flexibility to improve their team.

#

It does not function like true cap space in that it can absorb salary through trade.

hushed marsh
#

If somebody's contract fits entirely in the mle though?

weak sierra
#

Nope.

hushed marsh
#

okay

weak sierra
#

They'd have to be signed.

hushed marsh
#

but it works with free agents?

fallow flare
#

Everything I see says that is not correct and that it can be absorbed through a trade

hushed marsh
#

I.... Don't see why not

weak sierra
#

This something they changed in the last CBA?

steady swift
#

well nvm

hushed marsh
#

you seem pretty confident so I'll trust you

#

It's not like we're making the trades anyways

hexed compass
#

Pretty sure it changed in the newest CBA so you can take trades into the MLE now

fallow flare
#

Starting in July 2024, teams can use non-taxpayer or room mid-level and bi-annual exceptions to acquire a player via trade or waivers.

weak sierra
#

I'm reading that you need to be under the cap with the room exception to use it?

#

nvm, I stand corrected, looks like something they changed

hushed marsh
#

to use it in trades or use it in general?

hushed marsh
#

it's fine nobody knows all of this shit

fallow flare
#

Wait maybe herbs salary is too large

hushed marsh
#

prolly Adam silver doesn't even

fallow flare
#

Contracts can not be longer than two years, or worth more than $5 million in the first season.

#

Quoted from a cba article

#

So herb at 14ish wouldn't count then, but it sounds like it's possible to get some players using it but likely more complications?

steady swift
#

I’m honestly confused. But we can do it without the MLE anyway

fallow flare
#

It would be even cooler to dump Kuz or Pat in a deal involving Herb, which would allow us to get the deal done and still have access to the MLE

steady swift
#

Kuzma for Claxton
Pat/Livingston for Herb

fallow flare
#

Pat/young guy/31 lotto protected for Herb, Kuzma for Wiggins, use partial mle on Cole Anthony and the majority of it on Ayton, resign Rollins and sims

Giannis/Wiggins

maybe a replacement for bobby

Adds solid guard depth, a reclamation project in Ayton, 1 elite wing defender and one solid all around wing

I don't think we should gamble with trying ayton rn

#

we need pieces who are reliable

steady swift
floral flume
#

ayton is worth trying for imo

barren relic
#

nets need more in this trade

hushed marsh
#

not right now though

fallow flare
#

That was the scare with guys like bobby and KPJ. Bucks are a team of good dudes with their heads on straight and Giannis as a leader. Get him to be semi competent and it's a huge W

i prefer clax over ayton

If we gave up the 31 first for Claxton and Herb Jones I'd be irrate

Lotto protected, could make it eventually convey into 2nds

I don’t feel like Ayton has the mentality to be a starter 💀 he can be the backup big…

hushed marsh

we don't need another unreliable big

#

bobby and ayton is just

inconsistent and inconsistent

weak sierra
#

If I'm giving up the 31 first, it's going to be for an actual singular talent, not rotation players that don't let us unlock another tier

Ayton is a no from me.
Blazers didnt even try to trade him.
just paid him to leave

My goal is not a "run at a top 4 seed" I want long term projectable growth

like do u want an all star in return?

Ayton at 35 mil is disgusting, that's why a buyout was the only option

finite coyote

i dont think thats gonna happen

It’s really interesting tbh. Denver traded their final frp today for Cam Johnson lol

I'd have to be bowled over to include it before next offseason

okok

claxton + herb
are starters on 75% + teams in the nba

"Bucks send Kuzma + 2030 FRP to nets. Nets send Claxton and seconds to Pacers. Pacers send Myles Turner to Bucks and maybe a contract like Obi or TJ to nets to duck the tax "

finite coyote
#

just guaging what people think the 31 is worth

barren relic
#

plus, they fit exactly what we need

finite coyote
#

i think its being overvalued

weak sierra
#

I don't even know if we can make a Herb Giannis pairing work from a spacing standpoint

barren relic
#

point Giannis, it can work.
if we ran NONdoc playbook, it can work

weak sierra
#

What gives us a better chance at obtaining a championship worthy asset, the 31 1st or the 31 1st, 32 swap, 33 first and salary filler?

fallow flare
#

I'm still on the Trey Murphy train, I think he is underrated and would be an elite #3

barren relic
#

i dont see teams giving up an allstar type player for picks 6 years from now

steady swift
finite coyote
#

right

weak sierra
#

It's more about giving myself options than it is the immediate value of the pick

finite coyote
#

kinda what we thought

steady swift
finite coyote
#

would you have done that trade?

say, if dame was healthy

if dame is healthy, the 31 is gone imo

thats too much $ for Murphy, imo

Medicine and rehab are improving

and surgery went well allegedly

finite coyote

they always say that lol

they told me the same shit

hushed marsh

i think the bigger concern is that he might never play the same again

fallow flare
#

What is the point of a trade exception if you can aggregate it though? Isn't that the whole idea of it? Genuine question I don't know the answer to

floral flume
#

You use it to do what the Hawks did with NAW I believe

#

no salary attached

finite coyote
#

he wont have that explosive first step

#

had a doc tell me he will never play again

#

so

#

who knows

floral flume
#

trade exception has never been able to be aggregated with other salary I think

finite coyote

hope for the best

hushed marsh

I hope he still has his shot

doesnt matter

really?

if he doesnt heal up right

if he cant do that backstep 3

hushed marsh

is there something stopping him?

finite coyote

#

we'll see im just saying temper expectations

hushed marsh
#

I hope it's not the case

#

I said like 25% chance, I think that's fair

weak sierra
#

my concern is that he's a right handed player and that left leg is your explosive first step

floral flume
#

have NBA players always done this negative step now when driving, its what has torn lots of these achilles

#

I bet trainers will be heavily advising against it

weak sierra
#

A big piece of this is these low cut basketball shoes

hushed marsh
#

both of those yeah

#

and super high traction/grip or whatever

weak sierra
#

high tops offer a legitimate improvement in achilles stability by about 10%

floral flume
#

where did u see that

hushed marsh
#

more support on the Achilles

weak sierra
floral flume
#

No I believe yall, I mean the 10% im curious how they figured that out

#

thanks

hushed marsh
#

I woulda thought more tbh

weak sierra
floral flume

I think players would rather find another way to improve stability then wear high top shoes

#

we will see

hushed marsh
#

wonder if Adam silver will say something about it

steady swift

Pat to the Blazers for Timelord makes all the sense in the world. Especially if we don’t really play him, and let others get minutes during the regular season lol. Pat goes back to his OG team and he can keep Jrue company, plus it helps the Blazers save money

What if we go for Mo WagnerPatLUL

I love mo wagner

#

Good player and if he's on your team you love him just bring under the skin of the other team

#

I'd much rather him than Ayton

restive barn
#

Agreed

#

But I’d assume Magic want him back and can pay him more than us with the bird rights and all

steady swift
#

Yeah I expect him to return, the Magic are just in a numbers crunch right now

sturdy lake
#

It’s been reported that he’s expected to be back in Orlando

steady swift
#

If we need to add salary to get the BAE and MLE back, I need the AJ and Rollins extension

#

then a trade

#

then signings

floral flume
#

I don't think it works like that

#

I think once u spend cap it's over

weak sierra
#

Yeah, we can't.

#

BAE is forfeited and the room exception has been used in all likelihood

floral flume
#

So spreading out 20m in hit over 5 years is nothing to glance over, this is the definition of all in for 1 year or two

Fire up the trade machines

And when it's over, fire up the selling player trade machines

Who are our targets

Herb?

Herb or Trey

Suns buyout Beal and we sign him for a 1+1 min

Lock it in fellas

No thank you

what if we just employ giannis turner and 12 other sg's

Wouldn't be the worst idea, honestly.

G + shooters = success.

chrome knoll

https://fixupx.com/C2_Cooper/status/1939518251530391990 point giannis better be able to unlock turner like hali did

Just as an example of the major impact he has on Turner's game: Turner led the Pacers in top of the key 3PA last season, including the playoffs (279).
︀︀
︀︀w/ Tyrese on the court: Turner shot 40.5% on 244 attempts

We only have minimums left

but ya, i got a buck with ur name on it

Does this look right to everyone

#

It's missing Sims

Rollins

#

And Harris

So that's 14 players

#

We don't necessarily have to sign anyone else

#

But Livingston and or Ajax could go

chrome knoll
#

I think bogi is on the team

That's not reported yet I believe

#

He could be stashed, two way, signed

We dunno

With the assumption of Chris and Ajax

god that turner contract is cheap, no?

we eat some of that?

we jon leuered him

Yes

Which is why they can’t do it for Beal, already stretching someone

only 1 stretch at a time

sell who

nahhh once we get trey whos on a 4 year contract just like turner we have that core locked up

How far off was our cap number for Turner, I thought 5? Which would mean the Pat deal isn't enough without trimming both CL and AJJ or another move

Cap experts saying we might sign Rollins to the vet min

chrome knoll

Was our QO 5.9 for Rollins? Was that a 2 year offer?

QO was 2.2m but there's nothing stopping us from just giving him a minimum deal

Oh the main benefit there is what Skones just referred to I believe, he was counting against the cap with the QO, rescinding it helps sign Turner

Then sign Rollins afterwards

QO does. We can basically pay him the same as the QO to return and open the space for Turner. A have your cake and eat it too move.

break it down for me

Another bucks pick to add to the collection

They desperately need defense (Ajax)

Kuzma… idk

Herb Jones is defense exemplified

steady swift

Dumars traded our pick swap with us to Atlanta, they need us to be competitive so Atlanta doesn’t get a lottery pick

Also, NOLA has a new GM and a franchise star who is sinking rapidly. Hopefully, they're just desperate enough.

use the 2031 frp now
save 2032 swap and 2033 frp for next year

Bobby?

#

Idk.

floral flume
#

That's not that much

#

Bobby Kuzma 2031 2032 2033

#

Imagine the scenes that could be

steady swift
#

Like who?

floral flume
#

That's a good point ig

#

U don't know who will be available in a year

#

Could be good could be bad

steady swift
#

I kinda think it would be De’Aaron but idek

floral flume
#

Yea I think he'd be attainable next year with what we have

steady swift
#

Spurs would just trade our picks back for Giannis in 1-2 years 🤔

floral flume
#

This is my new delusion if we don't trade Kuz

#

Fox Green X Giannis Turner

loud geode
#

I can't see the Bucks acquiring De'Aaron Fox.

#

(Would be dope, though.)

floral flume
#

U don't think those FRPs gets it done?

#

They just drafted Harper

loud geode
#

Are the Spurs wanting for picks?

floral flume
#

They have 3 guards who will want to start

loud geode
#

Don't they still have a bunch?

floral flume
#

Yea but when the team gets expensive it'll help to have these

#

Let me believe

finite coyote
#

does anyone even wanna think about 2027 yet

loud geode
#

Hell no.

finite coyote
#

might need a new thread for that lmao

floral flume
#

We were talking abt what we do with 31 32 and 33

#

Remember this is my dream IF Kuzma doesn't get moved right now

steady swift
#

BP… ugh. Idk

#

Perfect backup for G

finite coyote
floral flume
#

Not Fox

#

Someone a solid tier below maybe

steady swift
#

It’s still gonna be Herb/RJ lmao, Kuzma alone isn’t a lot of salary

finite coyote
#

floor general

#

kpj is too combo guard

barren relic
#

And if he don't wanna set screens, then just keep getting combo guards

steady swift
#

Let’s hope the Spurs sign Fox to a contract with a cheaper AAV

#

Just had a vision of G joining the Rockets in two years to replace KD

loud geode
#

Not you, xoxo. Please not you.

tawdry dome
#

i don't really get the worry about needing another PG, more than Rollins and KPJ

loud geode
#

I think the worry is that Rollins won't be back.

#

Because the Bucks dropped the QO.

tawdry dome
#

I don't think it'll be a problem

#

We can still give him the minimum + 20%

loud geode
#

If he comes back, then yeah, no other PG needed.

tawdry dome
#

the QO was relinquished just to free up cap space enough to lock in Turner

steady swift
#

So why can’t I think about those picks lol

#

And Amen

tawdry dome
#

we aren't going to blow it up in 2027, I promise you

#

the only reason you make these moves is to build a new contending window

#

while Giannis is still in his prime

steady swift
#

Time to look at 2027 free agents then

barren relic
#

I dont want Fox

barren relic

#

BP and G,
Become FAs, temporarily.
While we sign 2 MAX FAs.

loud geode
#

Well, I can see where the lines of the Buckscord 2027 Civil War will be drawn.

barren relic
#

Then G signs.
And BP hopes for someone to pay him more, or just returns

tawdry dome
#

we don't on our own picks for a long time, there's no reason to do a teardown

barren relic
#

Yea huh

#

2 MAX FAs

tawdry dome
#

I guess we have different definitions of blowing it up

loud geode
#

To me, "blowing it up" means trading G.

#

Outside of that, it's all just retooling.

finite coyote
#

agree

tawdry dome
#

yeah exactly

barren relic
#

what.....

#

t word G doesnt even exist in my mind or vocabulary

loud geode
#

And that's why you're a real one.

finite coyote
#

we still have to convince giannis to sign his extension
