As an outsider, I'm trying to figure out how much you all value Jaime Jaquez. If this is a rebuild phase (which I'm not quite sure), would this be a guy you'd be willing to move for picks? Or is he viewed as essential?

Mods may or may not allow this, as Giannis isn’t a current member of your team, but I thought you all would know best. I read in several r/NBA threads then heard Jeff Teague’s comments about Giannis, but a lot of people mention Giannis doesn’t set screens for PNRs. Why is that?

He is big and strong and while still physically a bit lanky despite his stature seems like he could set some pretty bone crushing screens, but apparently he didn’t for Dame? Is it the contact that would come with rolling hard with intention? Lobs are likely not great fun to catch for him as I’m sure he gets hammered inside every time.

But in the absence of those, it does make an offense less dynamic. Did he ever do this and then stop once the “walls” were built to account for his towards rim movement? Any idea whether this is simply something he is not used to doing or would he just nix the idea completely?

Jeff Teague mentioned not enjoying playing with Giannis. Giannis doesn’t play like Jimmy, but is a better player overall way more talented athletically. I know Jimmy’s thing was always, making the right play and trying to get others involved. Is Giannis just more a bulldozer? He gets assists, but they are different.

Anywho, it’s been cool watching Bucks games and I like the four Heatles still, but Kuz is hard to watch. Idk what it is about his game…

Totally fine if ya’ll rather just bash our fanbase or the Heat generally or not want to answer about Giannis, but I thought you all would know best.

19 + (78 x 3.33) = 279

No way should we trade him

Do you feel bad for Giannis for his team being 0-4, or you don't by having no sympathy for him, and having a 'f you Giannis' attitude towards him?

It’s sooooo refreshing to see passion for once

Go Bucks. Go Brewers.

Coach said to show up to the home opener so I did. There were a fair amount of Bulls fans, so there were a noticeable amount of cheers when they made a good play. Understandable.

What I didn’t understand were two separate individuals near me cheering when both teams hit 3’s, when Caleb Wilson scored, when Ware grabbed rebounds, and a couple of other stats. They wore Bucks merch and were on their phones for half the game.

If you can’t watch a game without betting, then don’t show up. You’re after the thrill of the wager, not the game.

The league is already influenced by its partnership with betting apps, sponsorships with players, and recent scandals. Making your bets part of the crowd’s ovations furthers their influence and makes our team feel less important.

It looks like OKC will be getting a Disabled Player Exception for Jalen Williams this season, which I believe will be equivalent to the Non-TP MLE. This would give them enough space to swallow Caris LeVert's contract. While I am a fan of keeping LeVert around to mentor the young guards so long as he doesn't complain about his playing time, I think if we can extort more than his value from a desperate team then we have to do it. What do we think? Would OKC do it? How much could we get?

I'm thinking if we can get a 1st then we do it. Free up salary and a roster spot so we can absorb more in trades at the deadline for the purpose of acquiring even more picks. OKC has 3 1st round picks in the 2027 draft and the Bucks currently don't own one, so it could be a good opportunity to get back in. I just don't know if they are desperate enough to give up a 1st for LeVert.

Love how much the guys talk throughout the game, constant huddles on how they want to play, Jenkins 1 on 1 coaching on side lines. These guys are hungry to get things flowing.

I’ve been thinking about the GTJ case, and based on the president from the Joe Smith TWolves and Clippers Kawhi Leonard here is my prediction

Guilty: Bucks are stripped of 3 FRP (2028, 2030, 2031). Amy trade that nets a FRP (Herro, Rollins, Turner, Green) could be stripped and the farther out picks would be regained.

Horst gets hit with a 1 year suspension. He may have been acting with the ownerships knowledge. But he’s only extended to 27/28 I believe. I think he will get canned and a “Haslem Guy“ gets the job.

Edens gets a 1 year suspension As the acting governor and longer standing ownership partner. I also have felt for a while a Edens to Haslem sale is coming someday, and this could be the play.

Gary’s agent gets a 5 suspension, but Klutch and Rich Paul skate by

My biggest “unsure” is “Does Gary’s contract get voided”? Joe Smiths did, and Gary’s case is basically identical to his. On the other hand Kawhis contract did not. In fact they were allowed to trade it and receive picks to offset the punishment. The problem for the Bucks is Gary isn’t getting traded for 3 FRP. It would be so much better to have his contract gone…I have wrapped my head around 3 FRP but i hate the idea of having to also keep his contract

Thoughts? Do you think his contract will be voided?

On the bright side, at least we aren’t losing by large margins: our highest was only 12.

I don’t understand his basketball iq, he’d flourish as a cutter and fast break player with minimal dribbling touches. I just don’t see how someone can seem somewhat valuable one game and be so terrible the next. When he makes the game simple for himself everything else translates as well, but unfortunately he is an idiot.

Jenkins can’t keep pretending that this guy can bring any sort of contribution to this team. I would like to see more ware and Sims out there. Just can’t handle it anymore man.

Is anyone else having problems with these streams? It won't play for more than 10 seconds without pausing and buffering. Even on the lowest video quality. And then I went and watched the Brewers and have absolutely no problems so I don't think it's my connection.
