My problem with this thinking is it’s like giving yourself props for winning a few $15 bets but losing the $1000 bet because your $15 bets had worse odds. Jose and Herb are nice pieces but they don’t move the needle like a top 4 pick should. We wasted a top 4 pick which is unforgivable.



Yup never trade down when you are a top 5 pick. This isn't the damn NFL. Griff really botched that

You don't make decisions on where you think you you should be, you make decisions on where you actually are.

Sure, looking at it in 2019, we should be more successful than we have been in 2023. But fact is, we haven't been successful, and thus making moves now, short of getting a KD, just didn't make much sense.

Well, when you say it like this Can someone break down what is left? All the picks from the bucks and picks and swaps from the lakers.


We traded those picks to San Antonio in case you forgot.

And Jrue could be on his way to another ring.

No

We still have a 1st from Milwaukee, we gave up no 1sts to San Antonio recently.

Because last year he looked like a genius for getting Trey, Jose, Herb, WG and then all of them willing us to the play in and then the playoffs.

WG had us as the 1 seed with Zion until he got hurt. I’m not saying Griff isn’t to blame for some of the roster decisions he’s made while here and he took a lot of flak for them as well as the coaching hires. WG needs to take some of the heat for the lack of adjustments but let’s wait and see how the rest of the season plays out. There’s no reason why we have the same group of guys and can’t float around .500 or slightly better. Some of that is CJ and BI being hurt (and of course Zion) but it’s also guys either having a sophomore slump or simply not being as good as we thought they were. If this happens again next year, THEN you blame Griff

Right now this is on WG and the players

I know I’m beating a dead horse here, but the difference in last years lineup and this year’s, sans Zion, was Coach Green was playing, flawed or not, Hayes in the front-court. Even if they want no parts of Hayes Pels should have went more Nance/Val minutes after Zion was injured.

Your boy gave up 4 second rounders for an expiring contract. Would not doubt your boy sells that Bucks pick for another expiring contract.

LOL. Either it’s Grif. Or Dell Demps still runs the team.

Not to mention that Bucks pick will be bottom of 1st round. Player probably gets sent to G League

Durant wanted to go to the Suns. He’s on the record saying this. He wasn’t interested in coming here.

I’m just at the point where I’m okay with any change no matter how extreme it is. Hell gayle can sell the team. I’ll take a chance with a new owner not moving the team. I don’t think she’s capable of hiring quality leadership and her saints boys who help make decisions don’t know basketball.

Oh okay. Again rest of NBA is laughing at you.

When is Zion coming back anyway? Glad Ingram and CJ can carry this team. Wait a minute. Remember that one. Lol

Looks like the Sacramento Kings are not on the 7 year rebuild plan like us.

That pick is 4 years from now. That bucks team will look very different from what it looks like now.

If we’re forced to fire Griffin, you may see this happen. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that. We need some stability and continuity. We the fans and Griff and Gayle need Willie to succeed. At least get us in the playoffs every year he’s here

Lol Gayle isn't selling the team with the way franchise values are increasing every year.
