    Although it's SUPER early, and championships aren't won in October, there does seem to be something just not firing right with the Bucks.

    Which is strange, considering that Dame now has had a full year there, and put in a lot of effort to get his body/mind in the right place.

    I know the *rest* of their roster isn't necessarily good (I don't think even healthy that they're going to beat the Celtics, let alone the Knicks or even 76ers), but I don't think they're 1-4 bad.

    Crazy...Spurs are up 10 on the Jazz, but Wembanyama is +31.

    I'd like to see his +/- in those games.

    Hey, as New Orleans owns the next three Bucks picks (I just read) maybe they can send one or two back along with Zion in exchange for Giannis. Zion is basically Giannis if an elephant sat on his head.

    Wemby with the rare 5x5:

    25/9/7/5/5 +43

    Probably won’t be rare anymore. He will have many. Chet too.

    Not sure he's the difference between 4-1 and 1-4.

    Danny Ainge has taught master classes about maximizing trade value for picks

    beginning to look like he's going to teach a master class this season about tanking

    He's on a 40 million contract and has chronic injuries. Pretty bad sign when you lose in round 1 and can't get healthy with 5 months to do so.

    He's no doubt a good to great GM, but it's just hard to figure out what strategy he's going with in Utah. Would seem to be a rebuild but then he's holding onto Lauri, Clarkson, and others.

    I remember reading last summer he was shopping Clarkson but couldn't find any takers

    and, I'm not positive about this but it might be that extension Markkanen signed in August made him ineligible to be traded until Dec 15

    Utah had to hit the salary floor anyway. Their payroll is nearly 40M less than Portland's
