GTJ missed way too many wide open threes. If the Bucks want to contend they need to send that 2031 FRP out with Middleton to try and grab a shot making wing.

Would you take on his contract and that 2031 FRP for Grant. I know I would and it would make the Bucks considerably better. Grant is just so much more mobile.

Why isn’t RW3 playing in this one?

Doesn't say anything about him in the injury report but I'm sure it's just a scheduled rest night... at least I hope it is and not some injury from shoot around.
 
I no longer know how to feel about wins anymore.
On the one hand, Im glad they won because I am not a Damian fan, as I'm a Blazer fan. On the other hand, I want to secure the best chances to get the #1 pick.

But I have very little hope, even if they were the 3rd worst team, that they'd end up with that pick.

Also, I think the Bucks might be entering the end of their real window for title contention.

I would do it without a pick.

Include Tyler Smith + Middleton
for
Grant + Reath (or Banton)
 
On pace for the 7th spot in the lotto. Not good enough when we all know we still need at least one superstar.

Sure. I don’t have any problem with trading Grant and getting a future pick. Just don’t trade
Ant. I’m loving the 3 guard rotation.

If it was Grant and Banton you'd pretty much be gifting them a much better chance at winning it all again. They currently don't have a wing close to as good as Jerami given the state of Middleton's body and they don't have anyone off the bench that can run an offense as well as Banton.

I'd need that FRP.
 
Team is playing like they want to save Chauncey's job. Great effort tonight and well balanced sharing the ball on offense. Bunch of guys with 20 pts and a few with 10 or 15

Color me not surprised by your opinion. ;)

Ant should stay. Having three guards as talented as Scoot, Ant and Sharpe is going to be absolutely killer in a couple of years.

Why do you say this? Genuinely curious. None are plus defenders, so what is the benefit?
 
The Cronin Lillard handshake was a surprise.

Thought there was beef?

Grant needs to go the most

Both Grant and Simons need to go. If Joe is worth anything he'll get both of those guys moved. I think there are multiple teams that increase their chances of winning a title this seasons by picking up Jerami and I think there are a few youngish teams that really need the kind of offense that Ant can provide on the perimeter. Obviously both are role players and Jerami's contract isn't great but Ant's isn't bad and Jerami seriously could be the difference maker between a team that goes out in the second round and one that sticks around to really contend.

Having Ant be the primary ball handler is stifling Scoots impact. He is the only guard on the team who has the potential to make others better. His ceiling is obviously higher to me than Ant.

And the only way to unlock that is to put the ball in Scoots hands.

Ant has to go.
 
Yeah Dame always seemed like he has his shit together. Mature beyond his years perhaps.

My guess is that Damian knows that Cronin didn't do him dirty, and that he (Damian) probably acted a fool/acted on poor advice.
