    I can’t fathom a situation where the Bucks would let him go for a price I’d be willing to pay. They cannot tank after this year, so they’ll be trying desperately to build around Rollins, their draft pick this year, and whatever they get for Giannis.

    Not true at all. This is what peaves me about fans. They think that because no deals are being done, the front office is not trying to get any deals done. You also don't just make a deal for the heck of making a deal.


    We also are still a young team. 8 players under 25

    8 players under 25, lots of draft picks

    The future is looking great

    Sengun 23 years old
    Amen 23 years old
    Jabari 22 years old
    Tari 24 years old
    Reed 21 years old

    People treating them as if they are fully developed and 28 years old

    Who can be the franchise? Lol

    In addition, adding another playmaker will stop the development?

    Our two best prospects can’t shoot. Bari is a disappointment. We don’t know what Reed is yet. Tari needs to make it through a full season. We still need to be adding talent. And we should definitely not be sitting out back to back yrs in two of the best drafts this decade. We still need to be adding talent.

    Jabari is only 22 years old. Let, him grow. Sure he has growing pains, but all young players do.

    The addition of Durant helps him learn more.

    Plenty of time to trade for draft picks for this years draft. There is 5 months until draft night.

    I think he'd be worth a big offer- especially as he's signed for 2 more years at $4 million per year. I think that contract and player has a lot of value.

    I am sure the Bucks would be reluctant to trade him but they need to replenish their draft assets as much as they need a good young player.

    That team should be the future, need to roll them out and see how they play without Durant for full game,

    None of these players is a legit generational player we can build our franchise around. They are all roll players. We need our own version of Cooper Flag.

    No, no, no. He doesn't have enough skill set to mimick Durant. Better take his a** down to the block and be the temu version of KG or Rasheed Wallace.

    I know but those players could be successful today, because both could shoot from that range. Like everythything though, it all comes back around. Thats why a lot of teams go with double big. Oklahoma to be exact.

    The Cooper Flagg’s and Wemby’s of the world come around every decade or so. You just hope your team bottoming out aligns. Ours didn’t sadly.

    It doesn't matter if we get another point guard because Ime's offense has no system!
    For that reason, we need buckets getters and Derozan can create his own offense when there is no system to facilitate it for him...
