    Portland got an all star + from the bucks, Miami said no to bam, that's the end of it as far as value, IMHO. Add the fact that I believe Milwaukee will find it harder to be good by the end of the 2020s than Miami, and that seals it.

    "They laughed and said that we probably should've gotten our 2nd round pick back from Milwaukee, they're so hateful!!!"

    it creates something to discuss, I guess?

    Seems like wasted energy to me.

    At that point I think you get into emoji territory.

    Kinda funny since some of the other trades made by the team over the last few years has been a different kind of emoji....

    Can you imagine how Miami would have blown up our deal by leaking to the media? No way could we have even breathed a word to them.

    And, Brogdon has two years on his contract at 22.5 mil per year. Herro has 4 years with 27, 29, 31 and 33 mil left in the upcoming years.

    seems to me that whatever we get for Brogdon, we would have received a significant amount less for Herro
