I think people are setting themselves up for a disappointing off-season

Griff and Co aren't gonna get what they consider "fair value" for BI. Any trade would be considered a downgrade in talent, even if it makes the team better because of fit. And I just can't see Griff making any deal that he doesn't perceive as a slam dunk, that involves BI.

I think we'll hear the same old optimistic story.. "we were looking great and then got hit with injuries right at the start of the playoffs. We've increased our wins each of the last three years. So we're gonna run it back."

Y'all know its coming, as much as we hate to admit it. The team we see tonight, will be the same team we see next season, with a possible change at the center position. That's it.

I don’t know man, a playoff game is not going to sell out and they can’t even sell tickets to it at $7 a ticket

Also rumors are the season ticket sales are horrible next year. They pretty much HAVE to do something, there’s no way the FO can overlook all the fans on social media calling for an Ingram trade while simultaneously seeing ticket sales to the biggest game of the season flop and think that everything is fine.

I don’t disagree but there is world that either BI doesn’t agree to extension or wants to be traded. Meaning it won’t matter what Griffin wants if BI wants to make a change. Considering he was benched and basically has lost this team to Zion, he may force Griffin’s hand in just running this back.

I think this is the most likely scenario. I do think BI’s camp will put out some demands/smoke about a trade and he will act out a bit for a month or two, but frankly BI isn’t good enough to go fully toxic. There will be a we are all friends again work out summit shortly after the draft, maybe during summer league.

I will say running it back isn’t the most offensive option this offseason. If Griff trades away our control of the bucks 26/27 picks to marginally improve the roster around a Zion/BI/CJ core I will absolutely riot.

Brandon is a 1-2 on the right team, just not this team.
