    No, MIL is being slightly overhyped.

    Lebron can play PG and they have Felder.

    They have great potential. They pushed Toronto last year without Jabari. A lot of their team are still young and will get better next season and that includes Giannis. If Giannis learns to shoot, he could be the best player in the league at some point, it's incredible he is just 22.

    They probably need a new center though. DeAndre Jordan would be absolutely perfect for their needs and he is IMO gettable. Maybe Drummond.

    Gasol is who's perfect for them. Anther shooter for Giannis. They need a PG too. Midseason they should look at Jabari, Brogdon, Monroe, Teletovic, Delly, and two future picks for Conley, Gasol, and Evans.

    Conley / K.Midd. / Giannis / Maker / Gasol

    That's nasty. Evans, Snell, Wilson, Henson isn't a terrible bench either.

    I don't see anything about him being hurt. He's supposed to start at PG.

    That's way too huge a trade to make though. Things like that almost never happen in real life.

    I think they will be fine at point guard. I actually reckon with Giannis playmaking and ball handling skills they are better off with someone like Brogdon and Middleton in the backcourt, both excellent shooters. Brogdon has been a great addition to the team in the draft, cannot believe he went so low in the draft. Maker has potential but I am not sure he is going to develop into a proper starter. DJ Wilson is also someone I like a lot and could develop into a good player. I don't think Vaughn is going to make it though.

    A player that was perfect for them in last draft was Ntilikina but they never had a chance to get him.

    I don't think Ntilikina wouldve fit because he can't shoot. Giannis is more effective with shooters around him, so a 3-and-D PG is what's best for them.

    Ntilikina is so young that he can still significantly improve his shooting to s respectable level. His athleticism and defence would fit in perfectly in the current Bucks line up. Of course they would be better off with Irving or Conley but the assets they would have to send back are not worth the hassle, especially with the rise of Brogdon and the fact that they should play everything through Giannis anyway.

    I am going out on a limb here but I predict that Giannis will win championship at Milwaukee

    It's so funny when they say that. Just like when I was growing up (well, thanks to gentrification not so much) I'm surrounded by people of color all day every day. So weird when I was about 19 I realized 100% of the black peeps in our entire state lived in MY neighborhood. Crazy!
