    Pistons and Magic both look like they're a scorer away. Wonder if either of them will make a move for someone like KD.

    Obviously, Suggs being available would help the Magic, too.

    Die rad.

    Give Orlando Trae Young. It won't happen, but I could hope.

    Trae for KCP, Mo Wagner, Goga, and Black or Anthony works from a salary perspective.

    I think the Hawks should be building around Daniels, Johnson, Okongwu, and Risacher, anyway. They've gone as far as they'll go with Trae.

    I wouldn't hate a Young/Suggs/Franz/Paolo/Carter starting lineup. Depth certainly takes a hit, though.

    That did not look good.
     
  9. Next season is also now over for the bucks too if that’s an Achilles

    honestly think we need an offensive threat at C too. Carter just ain’t it. Takes too many questionable shots and misses too many open jumpers from mid-range.

    Not having Mo Wagner has really hurt offensively, too. He’s their fourth-leading scorer, and the front office didn't do a thing to try and replace him or Suggs' production.
    I don't know if the potential offensive boost would offset his defensive shortcomings. Seeing teams hunt Cole Anthony in switches for years gives me pause.

    Don't forget his pump fakes. I'm not sure I've seen a single defender bite, but they keep coming. He was theoretically a better fit last year when he was shooting over 35% on threes, but he's gone off a cliff this year. His rebounding has been better late in the year, at least.

    i’ll take an 11 point game with giannis having 8 points shooting 30%. he’ll shoot better and get to the line more. the threes are falling and that’s what matters
     
  15. Thank goodness for 2021 because the bucks have been cursed with unlucky injuries since
     


  16. Next season is already ruined

  18. Do we own our lottery pick in the 2026 draft?

    The Pelicans have swap rights on it, I believe.

    if we’re gonna be as bad as you’re acting like for no reason, having a swap with nola won’t matter, right?

    Bucks need some picks?
     
  25. Well if the bucks won the lottery next season that would suck because new Orleans would get that pick
