[@Blakeway4]

holy white noise in the background, fix your mics Bucks, you're a professional franchise

[@wunderkid8749]

They need to change the roster but most importantly find their identity offensively and defensively. You have him, dame and khris. They have to sit down togeyher with doc and find ways to be effective. We have to find ways to take great shots and easy baskets. All of this will depend on Giannis. Is he ready to let dame get the ball 90% at the time and be a screener and move without the ball ?. Secondly, i truly believe he needs to have a move in the post. Not crazy shots but an efficient where he can uses his quickness. It will help the offense by using that inside-out. He will be 30 years old in december. Just want him the best to play until 35-36 years old. I wish him a speedy recovery and i know that he will be ready next season with the new group !

[@kennethy1181]

i agree with this, this team has so much potential too! Just need to figure it out.

[@israelbenson9455]

The thing is sometimes dame can be surprisingly underwhelming.can he take on that much responsibility?as much as I like dame Ive been really surprised with his performances at times this season, especially when he is badly needed to perform he just flops.

[@Tankt0ptig3r]

​@@israelbenson9455 i agree sometimes dame resorts to foul baiting which has costed the bucks some crucial possessions in the pacers series. Refs are getting less inclined to call those fouls especially in the playoffs. Dame also has to realize that this is the bucks not portland and that he has other great offensive help so less hero ball and more ball movement. On the topic of giannis' post game, he definitely needs to work on having a decent hook shot or post fade that will help him play better off ball and sustain his availability to his later years.

[@israelbenson9455]

Bucks will be back a better team next year. This year didn't even really feel like it happened. We got Dame dealt with coaching changes midseason, nonstop injures all up and down the roster with Middleton and Giannis and Dame. Gotta get more perimeter defense through the draft or trading. We need solid 3 point shooters that can defend like AJ Green.

Figure out what to do with bringing in elite elite role players to have a top quality deep bench! Trade Dame! Get a lot back from that Kris brook! And others! Bring in a hungry star player to pair The freak that wants to be there and win! Or go for a full rebuild of the organization! Trade Giannis and all start from the beginning! Its a good chance for the organization to have back a lot from Giannis and Dame! Giannis in my opinion should go to a big market that has good young players and picks and cap space! Like Knicks or Miami or Even Lakers if they Trade AD and the rest... mabey Chicago...

[@briant3003]

If you put Giannis at the 5 and you trade Brock Lopez he’s so slow and you just need to build around more speed guys

Take all the rest you need, enjoy your summer, build chemistry with your new teammates, stay healthy, and Bucks will be back on the show by the time you know it. Great season this year. Proud of Bucks despite all the changes and adjustments. On another note, Giannis mentioned Khris, Brook, & Bobby. I'm guessing he's not letting them go? 🥲 I thought to get a good trade in, they were the players we needed to replace. Dang it! 😂

Buck's have to get a young big that can rebound and block shots. giannis needs help Splash mountain is too slow and Bobby can't play any.D

[@johnkomosa9508]

Yeah, when you play like Giannis your going to get banged up! He will adjust his game as he needs to , to survive. I think of the year Magic tore up his knee, folks forget a lot of Magic's greatness was after his rehab of a potentially career ending injury. Magic changed his game and lost a lot of his quickness but he made up for it in other ways. That's when he started turning his back to the defender more and then back in and use his big 6'9" frame against the smaller defender. His style changed a lot! The Freak should talk to Mag, that would be inspiring, as well as k.d, similar injury.. The Freak will adjust and survive. Long live the Freaky Greek. Love watching you play.
