r/MkeBucks

Look G, I love you, the fans love you. I’d love for you to retire a Buck and win 7 more championships. If that’s not possible and you end up getting traded I hope it’s to a team that deserves to have you and that the Bucks can recoup some picks to help build a future championship team.

These are both mutually exclusive of the reason of the post though. IF you get traded, (even if you don’t), it’s imperative that the news is broken by someone that isn’t Shams purely for the memes. They don’t have to be famous… It could be your kid… It could be Drew Barrymore... Would lowkey be hilarious if it was Aaron Rodgers… See if Tammy Baldwin would do it… You just gotta keep sham out of it.

For the memes Giannis, do it for the memes.

I feel like I’m seeing a wide range of opinions on Ryan. Some people say put him in a package or seem to think he can be a good role player for a contending team. Everything I have seen tho is he has the full potential to be at least an all star I think he can be such a stud and definitely something for Taylor Jenkins to build around and create a culture with.

After watching the Cavs collapse last night it made me feel a bit better that we missed out on Kenny Atkinson last coach hiring cycle. Of course he is significantly better than Doc, but last night was one of the biggest examples of coaching malpractice in a long time.

This is an interesting tidbit from a uninteresting mock draft from the bucks perspective posted from Espn today which had us taking Nate Ament at 10 like every other mock draft has.

Currently as it stands the bucks own 3 first round picks outright, 2031-2033, and only their 2033 second is available for trade. I truly think everyone is on the table besides Rollins at the moment. And with rumors the bucks are gonna bring Bogo back to the team after his MVP year overseas, I think we are headed towards a rebuild sooner rather than later.

I was going to use the tag “analysis” because the article is pretending to be serious, but I couldn’t get myself to do it. B/R is one of the worst sports websites in the history of the internet. Anyway, somehow Giannis’s 50 point double double for the ages in a title-clinching game doesn’t constitute being in the top 25 playoff performances of the century. It’s even more hilarious when you look at some of the absolutely meaningless games they included in the rankings. When I see crap like this I can’t tell if it’s just stupidity or a part of a long term conspiracy to drop Giannis’s trade value. In fact, the only mention of Giannis in the entire article is to crap all over him in an entry for Jimmy Butler, who has FIVE entries on the list, including #1. So, as you can imagine, I needed to share this with you guys to keep myself from starting some huge flame war on this moron’s twitter.

The Bucks have an important decision to make this off-season. It's not whether to keep Giannis. It's: does it even matter? The Spurs and Thunder are going to be unstoppable for the next decade. It's Wemby's world now. The Bucks are merely another one of the 28 teams just along for the ride. Maybe it's a good time to move into irrelevance.

Giannis might be our (humanity's) only hope to stop that giant Frenchman. It would certainly be tempting to send him to the west and try to create a seam in the fabric of the basketball universe. An unstoppable force versus a very tall and surprisingly agile behemoth. We need unicorns going hoof to hoof. We need a freak-off in the playoffs. I'll bring the baby oil.

Giannis in 6

I think it has to be BPA, no question about it. Looking at the current landscape of the league, guards are back, and they’re able to lead their respective teams on deep playoff runs while also being charismatic and fun to root for. If Giannis leaves, that’s exactly what we need, and if he stays, perfect — he has his next co-star. That should be the goal.

I’m not trying to be a middling team that’s just good enough to make the playoffs, only to lose in the first round. For example, the Bucks with Brandon Jennings. No matter where you pick, it’s incredibly hard to find a talent that can take you all the way. Look at how many chances Philadelphia had with top picks, and yet even a player as talented as Embiid couldn’t get them to the promised land.

With that being said, here are the players I really like…

I want someone who has the potential to walk away as the best player from this class in spite of how stacked it already is. Side note: it might be wise to accumulate as many picks from this class instead of hunting for future first with the new lottery rules.

One of these guys will fall to us and from that point on it’s just about development.

Darius Acuff Jr, Mikel Brown Jr, Kingston Flemmings, Labaron Philion Jr, Brayden Burries, Cameron Carr

Thoughts?

Dominates the paint, and can shoot 3's. Glad we got our championship before this guy got in the league because he's going to be a problem for a long time.

Gone but not forgoften. Dudes a legend

Ik the speculation trades are getting old but after watching the spurs vs okc game tonight, if okc loses that might be the best scenario for the bucks. Even though i dont want Giannis to be traded even though the road to another championship would be difficult, okc losing could see them looking for a wemby “stopper” like how the wolves traded for rudy for match ups for jokic, giannis, and wemby or how we had brook for embiid and jokic. Okc prob has the best selections of picks and young players compared to any other team. We can get championship experienced vets in hartenstein and caruso and get young players such as mccain, mitchell, and potentially jdub. Doubt they would do it but it would be interesting

Was looking at r/NBA and r/NOLAPelicans threads about the Mosley hire and they're pretty unanimously disappointed. I had a genuine worry we'd do something similar by hiring someone like Ham, so I'm really glad that we have at least one major positive thing going for us in this season from hell

Cheers to that! Now let's fast forward to Summer League and watching our new draft pick and hopefully Bogoljub too🍻

I’m curious if we’d go best available or maybe more team need focused on the second pick

Honestly, I mostly followed Jenkins here. His coaching with the Grizzlies left a really strong impression on me. He emphasized a fast-paced style with quick ball movement and transition offense, while also demanding physical defense. He was also willing to give young players room to make mistakes and grow.

When I saw the Bucks hire him, my first thought was that the team was heading toward a rebuild direction, and a young roster fits his coaching style really well. His in-game adjustments aren’t well, but for a rebuilding team that’s not the biggest concern right now.

He’s great at communication, treats players with respect, and makes sure everyone understands what they’re supposed to do on the court. He also puts a huge emphasis on building team culture.

That’s why I’m really excited to see how the Bucks develop under him moving forward.
