    Why would we want Drummond? Unless it's a pure salary dump trade where we give them EG or Wall.

    Send House to NYK and bring Reddish here and we have a deal that would be good for everyone involved.

    Hasn’t Stein been rim-jobbing Cuban for years?

    edit: Y’all beat me to it, now that I read previous posts.

    It is so obvious what is going on.

    Water is wet, so the water faces a challenge with its wetness.

    I'm guessing Andre would command more if it was true we are looking into him (I doubt it).

    Oladipo is ranked at 55 with a RPM of 2.06. He is still a very valuable player to a team that is needing to add a playmaker that is a good defender. Tyler Herro is ranked 191 at RPM 0.57. Not sure what agenda Windhorst has but he has been anti Rockets for a long time. On a side note our Christian Wood is ranked 9th at RPM of 4.93 which is just under Harden.

    Oladipo is a $21M expiring, Drummond $28.7M expiring

    (Not sure Exum can be traded back to Cleveland? And Augustin/Wilson can’t be included with others in trades, right? House($3.7M)? Nwaba($1.8M)? McLemore($2.2M)? Brown($1.6M)?)

    Meh, too much time on something that ain’t happening. ;)

    A real NBA musician, not like some of the others. I like Let's Ride but personally do not like his style of jazz.

    Maybe Wall is involved. Rafael going for the real coup de grace by dumping Wall.

    When it’s next summer (2022) and Giannis demands out following another missed conference finals, that 2023 pick is going to look amazing. All for the cost of a half season of Allen before he gets paid $100 million.

    If Giannis successfully forces his way out of Milwaukee with three full years left on a max deal, then there is literally no point in signing players to contracts longer than a year.

    Harden just did it with 2 full years left. I wouldn’t be surprised...it would be 2 seasons after Giannis signed his extension, and the Bucks will have no way to upgrade their team. This is all assuming JRue resigns...utter disaster if he leaves.

    I wouldn’t even ask for a first round pick just expiring contracts for that cap space baby

    Besides he has to go. Porter can’t be coming off the bench. Put his at at the 2 and stagger their minutes like they did with Harden/Westbrook/Cp3

    In summer 2022, he will be one year into a five year extension. I hear you, it isn't impossible, but even in the low likelihood scenario he wants out, it's hard for me to see why the Bucks would give him up with three more years of team control. But hey, I'm rooting for us...

    I wouldn’t be surprised If Milwaukee agreed to trade him when asked just to get him to sign that deal.
