<@&1380642642253054173> role

[rustic helm]

knecht, tre mann, sochan, mccain, dillingham, niang, gg jackson, etc should be our upper limit of player types

[silver tendon]

Wer on the same page here

[wise axle]

i like dillingham the best

[languid lake]

mccain would flourish in milwaukee

great rookie year cut short

never thought about it but mccain fits well with giannis

idk if 76ers will trade him because hes coming back from an injury and he played really good rookie year

[rustic helm]

he was really low in their rotation for a bit. I dont know if he has won his minutes back, but for awhile he was on the outside looking in

[small meadow]

Yes gamble the future x3

[grand musk]

Edgecombe looking way better but i think mccain still part of their short term future at least

[uncut sentinel]

Would you say that Keon Ellis or Moses Moody would be considered a major trade or a minor trade?

Because I don't want to trade Kuzma, but if we can get Moody for Bobby I would do it.

[plucky maple]

I want to trade bobby no matter what

kuz is fine

bobby had one game where he was swinging the rock nicely and contesting shots

and now he's back to whatever this is

and his shots honestly cooling down

we need to move him now. He still has value

[dawn yacht]

same with myles turner

couple games he was good

now he aint doing anything

[potent patrol]

yeah but if we trade the two of them our big room is gone. who would we go and get?

[dawn yacht]

We need to trade Myles turner for sure

And we draft

[potent patrol]

we just payed him

we have to give him time

[dawn yacht]

Bruh

[dawn yacht]

?

[dawn yacht]

He’s trash’

[potent patrol]

bro we just signed him

we can’t trade him

who the hell would want him anyway?

[dawn yacht]

Idk

He can go back to Indiana

[plucky maple]

no he isn't

he needs a new coach

doc rivers is killing him

[velvet wedge]

Giannis should be traded next season

And fire doc

[plucky maple]

before you even see what moves we make is crazy btw

[small meadow]

We have no moves left its over

[plucky maple]

there are moves left

4 FRP and 10 guys (at least) we could trade

plus there are tons of better head coaches out there

[small meadow]

We are not wasting any FRP's for this team

[plucky maple]

again, there is plenty that can be changed about this team

free agency too

[small meadow]

Yep and thatll be when we clean house and trade Giannis

[plucky maple]

that would be stupid unless the assets we get from that can amount to a superstar better than Giannis

like we can probably get khris in free agency and have him off the bench

this roster is not far off

the coach, they could fuck it up by hiring somebody bad I admit

[small meadow]

Why keep a superstar who clearly is checked out

[small meadow]

We are far past that now

[small meadow]

He would want to go to a contender I imagine

[plucky maple]

he's only checked out because we're not winning rn

[small meadow]

now with us

[small meadow]

And you expect us to win in the future? We are 3-18 without him lmfao

Any use of picks for a trade is so stupid

[plucky maple]

holy shit yes if we make the right moves 😭😭😭😭

you would be right if the salary table was also an issue

but it's not

[small meadow]

I see 0 proof of that now lmao

[plucky maple]

we have money, and while we don't have as many assets to work with as some other teams, we still have assets

[small meadow]

The window is cloooooosed

It was a nice 7 year window

[plucky maple]

Docs window is closed

he can't win with a team like this

plenty of coaches can

[small meadow]

It sure is, not changing how doomed this franchise is

[plucky maple]

he needs stars everywhere

genuinely dude what is your problem with flipping bobby/kuz for a genuine starting 3 and firing doc and getting a new coach

Giannis is in his prime

fuck the 2031 pick

fuck our lottery pick this year

it's so simple

[small meadow]

Because 0 teams in the NBA are doing that

[small meadow]

Yeah this is delusional

Lets gamble everything AGAIN for giannis

Nah thats it

We won a chip thats amazing

The window is clsoed

[plucky maple]

because they all have unique situations lol

[plucky maple]

it would've worked if we had a competent coach

our roster this year would not go all the way but it would be solid if we had a competent coach

we have the assets to go get a contending roster

or hell we don't even need to trade the pick

what's your problem with running it back with AJ dybantsa?

AND Giannis

[small meadow]

Teams are actively not trading with us because they all want Giannis what dont you understand lol

Have you seen the offers for mediorce players?

Im not wasting more assests for Giannis sorry

Lets just rebuild

Theirs a reason Horst hasnt said a word

[plucky maple]

how do you figure that

teams won't say no to an offer from us just because we're the bucks lmao

[plucky maple]

and you think you know it??

your theory is only as good as any else

horst is USUALLY quiet

if he wanted to get rid of G he would be aggressively shopping him

not shutting the whole thing down

[small meadow]

Exactly this. Or will only take a offer for picks

[plucky maple]

why do you think G shut down the trade rumors???

[small meadow]

Their is a reason we have had almost 0 trades this deadline

compared to a average of 20 every year

And its one guy

Giannis

[plucky maple]

aprons

but sure that's probably part of it

[small meadow]

23 trades last year

So no

Thats not it

[plucky maple]

delayed impacts

[small meadow]

13

[plucky maple]

and how many of those happened right at the deadline lol

there's still 2 weeks left

week and a half

[small meadow]

You are blinded by false hopes

[plucky maple]

you're speculating just as much as I am

dont act like you're above me here

we both don't know shit about what's going on

[small meadow]

The bucks arent a contending roster
The coach is not solely responsible for us being right outside the playin
The bucks have little to no draft capital

[small meadow]

Ive been right so far lol im personally holding back

[plucky maple]

right about what 😭

[small meadow]

Exactly how this is going to play out

Giannis isnt going to sign a extension next year

Horst has said a WORD

Nothing

The roster sucks, injuries isnt helping

[plucky maple]

does he ever??

besides AFTER he makes a move

[small meadow]

He 100% should especially after all the Giannis news

I promise you he dosent even know what to do

[plucky maple]

I'm sure he knows what he's doing

[plucky maple]

if I have ideas I know he does lol

[small meadow]

LOL

[plucky maple]

maybe we're tanking?

if we werent I'm sure we are now

[small meadow]

Giannis isnt signing that extension

If he wants his supermax contract he either:

1. Signs it with the bucks
2. Has to get traded this deadline for it

[plucky maple]

we've seen rosters that focus on synergy rather than raw power beat out rosters with mainly the latter
Sure Doc isn't solely responsible, but we damn well wouldn't be this low with a better coach
We have a pick this year, and rylo and AJ are still progressing plenty. We can always make moves and free agent signings and 2-way signings (which we've hit on before).

I'm not saying we're definitely going to make some move that's going to shoot us into contention

I'm saying that we could and therefore we should go for it

you go for it when you have a player like Giannis

[small meadow]

Sure in the past

Fuck no not now

Weve lost to the nuggets G league squad twice, Wizards twice, Nets by 40, Timberwolves without Rudy and Ant by 40.

We are arguably a bottom 3 team

[plucky maple]

why do you talk about random things like this

[small meadow]

Because for some reason you think we are a trade away from being back to contention lol

[plucky maple]

this doesn't mean shit

[small meadow]

Giannis isnt waiting for us to "Get better"

[plucky maple]

evidently he is with that statement he made

why do you think he'd come out and say he'll never request a trade

[small meadow]

And literally the next day he said "We will see". Hes just trying to save face and frankly its doing the opposite

[plucky maple]

you don't think horst gave him a plan and he's going along with it?

[small meadow]

Horst has no plan

Your superstar just got injured for another 4-6 weeks im sure that was the plan

[plucky maple]

he would be fired if he didn't lmao

[small meadow]

Doc is still on staff btw

[plucky maple]

that would only matter if our plan was to win right now which I'm sure it's not

[plucky maple]

and I'm sure it's for other reasons than "he's the right coach for the job" because anybody can see that he's not

[small meadow]

The day Giannis gets traded whenever its less then 2 weeks from now or 6 months

Youll be the first person I ping

Not to laugh

But for you to realize I was always right

[plucky maple]

I feel the same way lol

what you're saying is equally plausible as what I'm saying

[small meadow]

This is the perfect image of people who think Giannis is going to stay

[opaque coral]

this is veering off topic

[plucky maple]

it depends on factors that neither of us know (how G actually feels, does khris wanna come back, etc.)

[opaque coral]

and you two are just going at each other

so do so in a respectful way

about the topic

or not at all please

[small meadow]

You can easily tell how Giannis feels lol

But I guess we will just wait

[plucky maple]

I mean yes I can tell he wants to be on a team that's contending

and he hates losing

idk how he feels about sticking around and trying to get better

[opaque coral]

we dont know what horst thinks about that either

[plucky maple]

🙏

that's really the difference between what we think

[wise axle]

i side with

that one guy

the guy

that
