Speaking of shortsighted thinking.... you all realize there is a good chance you will have a top 3 pick next year. The Bucks will be atrocious.

There will be more ways to shape this team at the deadline. You can move Poole as an expiring. DJM and Zion's values should be higher.
Trading Trey for some sh*tty picks is stupid. You really want to take back Ped George? Trey helps your you guys develop. He plays really well with Queen and Fears.

Trey is still ascending. His value will be even higher next year.

All the smart teams are trying to get Trey... probably a good sign that you want to keep him.
You should hear other teams glow talking about him.... If he takes as big of a step year 3 that he took yr 2 we should be good.

That's fair. Maybe the Blazers throw in a pick & a swap and you remove a celtics player.

It's never going to happen anyway ??

You obviously haven't seen Garza play. He is a player.

Also one pick is Cenac. If that does anything for you.
I have no idea if this is a good idea...

You could waive and stretch Poole and sign Robinson. You would be on the books for 11.7 the next 3 years but you would have 23 million in space*.

Offer Robinson 3 yrs/ 40-45 million and find a discount shooter?

I don't want to trade Trey or Herb but would you do this:

Watched his tape... kid can fly. Definitely an NBA athlete. His shooting motion has a smooth rhythm. Long arms.. palms the ball with ease(big hands).

He is an older prospect but at worst he is a fun summer league/ squadron guy. The Athletic's Sam Vecenie made a really unprofessional b*tchy dismissive comment when he was selected . Makes me root for him.

Congratulations Pierre, the hometown dark horse. Lets Geaux!

Draft Vsevolod Ishchenko!

Nice size & athleticism. He can fill it up from 3
Yo Zion has never had offseason videos like this... he lost his shoe deal. Maybe he has finally matured or is desperate.

Basketball Reference "Shooting" table and the FG% from 0–3 feet, the ranking is:

Player Rookie Season FG% from 0–3 ft
Jeremiah Fears 2025-26 61.0%
Derrick Rose 2008-09 57.7%
Kyrie Irving 2011-12 57.2%

There is a world where we stay the course and feel much better about the team this time next year...

The Bucks will be awful. We should have a high pick in the 27 draft(new tanking rules may or may not help us).

Fears, Missi, and Queen continue to improve. Fears is working his arse off. Queen looks like he is focused on improving his D and 3pt shooting. If Missi improves in year 3 as much as he did btw year 1-2... you might have a player. It takes bigs 3-4 years... here we are.

Zion's strong offseason leads to his best season and rebounds his value.

Trey continues to expand his game. I never understood why you would entertain trading him(young athletic shooter on a great deal). His value should be even higher next year.

You may be able to offload DJ or Poole at the deadline. Poole is an expiring. Teams will be looking to clear salary.

I have no idea what DJ's value is headed. He looked better than I expected last year.

I think we are a 35 win team with a chance to climb higher with good health and some luck.

Who the f wants hockey ? Gross
Let's be real, Brown got like 3 deep balls all season bc Nuss had a dead arm.

Can we talk about Fears?

Highlights


I listen to all of the national pods, and there is this phenomena where hearing say Lowe or Nekias rave about a player confirms what your eyes are telling you. No one watched the Pelicans play. Fears is being overlooked, but watch the word spread this summer.

Look at at these highlights. He is 19. In that last month I saw things. Special things. When you find yourself comparing a players speed to Wall and his handle to Kyrie. You are probably high like me. No but seriously there are Fears flashes that will make you want to say bold stupid things on chat boards. We should be more excited about this.

Two games that stand our:

Game 1 vs Memphis Ja tried to bully him in the backcourt and Fears just blows past him.

Vs Knicks at MSG... He was so good in every phase, but Fears gets hosed by the refs on that steal down the sideline. Every angle I saw he was in all along or reestablished in bounds. That would have been the cherry on top of his best game (possibly)

Fears vs. Acuff / Queen vs. Boozer

Ok, let me state the obvious - the trade was unbelievably dumb... even though I really love both rookies, the process was flawed.

With that said, I think we will come out of this in good shape. Let's say the pick ends up 4-6. You are looking at Boozer or Acuff. I think Fears is going to be a better player than Acuff(better athlete/ defender...Acuff is a slightly better shooter), and I really wouldn't be surprised if Queen turns out better than Boozer.

Also despite the hype, I think the 25 class is going to end is being as good as 26.

I know this is a little high for him, but Caleb Banks has a little Albert Haynesworth to his game. Guys that big that are that disruptive in the backfield can anchor a whole defense.

They are finally putting it together. DJ has been so much better than I could have imagined. Athletically I see no drop off which is incredible. His fire is so important. He is on guys arse when they blow an assignment.

The bigs are playing better. Karlo snd Yves have really grown. The rookies are improving and look confident. Fears makes 2-3 jaw dropping plays a game. Queen is figuring it out. Tonight was his best game in a while.
If Queen gets a little more knee bend he will start hitting threes. His shots are on line/ have decent arc but they are just coming up a little short. Queen will be burying them by March. He is a fast learner.

He was a big time 5 star prospect in high school, but bailed on fsu for Nebraska. Left after a so so year and fell to the second.

You can tell he believes that he belongs
