AROUND THE 2024 NBA PLAYOFF: PLAY-IN and FIRST ROUND

The guy has been asked to guard multiple positions and he has done that. When the team isn't tanking and he is available he is on the floor when they need a stop. He's a long defender that can shoot well. He's the very definition of 3&D. He also seems to have been fine with his stats taking a huge hit because this team wants to lose.
One way to think of this might be that they owe him a huge debt of gratitude for sticking around this long and being a positive veteran presence. That is why I personally don't have a problem whatsoever with what he is being paid.

 

I don't have a problem with how much he's paid either. Empirically it's probably too much but 48 players were paid more this season, and about the same number next season

 

Grant was acquired for cap space (trade exception), Milwaukee'25 first, and essentially 3 2nds

That's his value. It hasn't changed. He's a nice player, but not a difference maker.

If Philly is willing to overpay for him, Im 100% cashing in

 

Bucks don't have any picks to trade.
Not going to happen

 

They don't have any future picks. We already have them.

 

Does he make sense with the current roster? Unless we want to pivot from the youth movement, I'd rather give his minutes to Toumani.

This will be especially true if we end up landing Sarr in the draft.

 

I was thinking just the opposite. Toumani is more of a defender at this point, and so is Sarr. Maybe they would eventually complement each other but think Grant would complement Sarr better as he would spread the floor more.

 

I was thinking a front court of Camara/Sarr/Ayton. Think Camara is more suited as an off ball glue guy than Grant. And with some combo of Scoot/Ant/Shae we have enough guys who need the ball.

The double big lineup is especially interesting to me in any future rebuild. More teams are leaning into such frontcourts compared to the decade past.

 

Good point. However, I think Sarr is an off-the-ball guy at this point as well. He is very quick for his size. So my thinking was we need a solid 3-point shooter out there with Scoot and Shae attacking the basket. Camara was not bad as a rookie at almost 34% from 3. We need that to be a bit higher. I think he will get there though.

 

Some people were, but certainly not the entire board. Many people were lukewarm on Jerami, and afraid we would overpay to get him because of Dame's interest. It was largely a collective sigh of relief that we got him for minimal assets.

 

Steven A did an extra screamy pod. He was really mad at Tyrese Maxey for splashing miracle shots and squashing his Knicks in OT.

i won't post the link, because Steven A is too jacked up on yelling. His pod is almost as screamy as the Awful Coaching nut

 

You are correct.They do have 2031 1st & 2nd. They may have a younger player or two, 2031 and/or salary dump salary dump?

 

Pacers up a dozen at halftime.

going after Nothern Pike, Walleye, and the "Spoonbill" catfish, can be fun adventures in Milwaukee fishing.
