    So that's how Dwight wants to play this? Good, burn the bridge with this loser. Renounce Ty and Jones, throw money at Whiteside and Conley and maybe Harrison Barnes. Screw Howard he's got no killer instinct

    Explains why he played so hard last night, he knows they have interest, and it is a contract year.

    Dwight is smarter than people give him credit for on the business side. He's basically self represented now, and is trying to help build a market for himself in free agency. Hence why he seemed extra "springy" last night.

    I expect to see this in pretty much every city the team goes to the rest of the season that has a need at the 5 & cash to spend. They play @ Chicago & Toronto this weekend. Wouldn't be shocked to see great Dwight performances at both, and something similar come from their media regarding Dwight's free agency.

    Milwaukee? :confused:

    I think DH is the first person ever to utter the words: "I want to go to Milwaukee"

    DH on this young Bucks team would have been great. While they may not have made much noise this year. If he would have opted in that would be a strong team in the East next year.

    You may be right. But it's still Milwaukee.

    I mean... Honestly. They put beans in their chili and eat it over pasta. And this is the place you want to go?

    Barnes is a glorified Trevor Ariza. I really like Whiteside though.

    This is also the first time a player wanted to get traded to Milwaukee.

    I don't know if I believe this. Dwight really that dumb to tell a commentator he wanted to be traded there? After he came out and denied all those other reports about him? Gus Johnson lol

    No it doesn't. Dwight's already gonna be a FA in the summer, why would he say he wants to go to Milwaukee if he doesn't want to be there long term? He wants to go there for half a season and then chase FA with someone else? What would be the point? lol

    And for the record I think the Rox are still in a great spot as long as Harden and Capela are on the team, Harden is one of the best players in the league and Capela is a really solid young player. Everything else depends on free agency, if Dwight doesn't get more than 20M from other teams he can resign here and we'd still have enough space for a real big 3, without sacrificing the depth we already have.
