Really seems like the Bucks are just fucked. Horst has done a really bad job maximizing the roster post championship and getting the little stuff done right in the margins. Poor asset management, poor drafting, poor player development, botching the coach hire. Giannis is a all time great so you still have a puncher’s chance but everything just looks grim right now teams around them getting better feels like this contending era is done.

I cant agree more. He practically used every asset he actually had between 2019 and 2021 undermining the organization for the next 10 years. That brought him a championship of course but that nots management. You dont spend your whole fortune to just do 1 good year. There is lack of leadership in Milwaukee, and this was apparent this year when they send Griffin to Giannis house to be approved. The administration is just terrible and now they are stuck with the oldest team in the league, possibly one of the oldest rosters in the history of NBA.

Our bench not being able to step up to the plate and especially with key starters missing, us only being CONSISTENT when we were fully complete was the issue for most of last season that’s all I’ll say. Changing the starting lineup is not the change I was thinking of. We need bench players that can step up and SHINE when star players go down. That is not Jae Crowder! That is not Pat Connaughton! That is not Malik Beasley! Andre Jackson Jr is inexperienced!

Patrick Beverly can go. Malik Beasley can go. Jae Crowder must go. Pat C can go. Danilo Gallinari must go. Dame, Khris, Giannis, Lopez, Bobby I’m gonna have fun watching in 2025 just like I had fun watching them in 2024.

@BucsDucs99 Ай бұрын

@@gotaplanstan I think they'd probably be fine swapping Gafford for Brook. They generally want floor stretching bigs, which Gafford doesn't provide at all. Brook is better inside than Gafford as well. Gafford got absolutely torched throughout the playoffs this season for Dallas and they have Lively in a similar mold to Gafford already (who has also surpassed him already). I think the hang up is probably Josh Green; even with them acquiring Grimes, I don't see them throwing him in the deal for Brook. Something like Gafford and Exum (or hometown kid O-Max) for Brook seems more palatable for Dallas and also gets us under the 2nd apron (I think).

It's unfortunate, but it seems like the bucks are fucked. They have very limited options at this point, and the GM has done a pretty bad job. The draft seemed to suggest they are willing to concede the next few seasons. Certainly won't be contributors for a couple years. Idk... I've basically accepted they aren't contenders anymore with the roster as constructed. They might still be good and fun enough to watch in the regular season, but they probably aren't a legitimate threat.

I have been saying the Bucks needed to get Jonas Valanciunas. Valanciunas was making 15 million, averaging 12 points on 56% shooting. He's younger. He plays with a lot of energy. The Bucks could've given Valanciunas 15 mil as he was getting and given a guy like malik monk or Reggie Jackson 7 million dollars. The Bucks could've gotten 2 good players with Brooks 24 million dollars. They said Brook was a DPOY candidate in 2023. This was a complete lie and I never bought it. It was a contract year. Brook Lopez got his money and went bucks to bring Brook Lopez. No pride.

@@Cell9074 the fact is, you can't get a better bench with only minimums.
