Milwaukee Bucks picks watch

Unless, of course, we trade their unprotected pick to someone else. Which is possible. In which case, I would help them as much as possible so we don't regret it.

 

Short of landing Giannis, I wouldn't trade that pick. It might be our last chance to take the next leap when the time comes.

 

In that case, just keep the picks. All we have to do is nothing.

 

I think there are a few more exceptions than just Giannis, but I essentially agree with you.

 

If we've traded away the picks, why would we care how fast Milwaukee rebuilds?

 

it's 3 full years till that partially encumbered 2028 swap; 4 years till the 2029 pick; 5 years till the 2nd swap

is that a long time in the tenure of an NBA GM? If it's true that the winning streak the Blazers had altered the thinking of the front office, I'd imagine that same front office would tend to look at those Milwaukee assets more as trade leverage than as banked assets to be used when due. Cronin has already shown a willingness to trade picks in that period with the Avdija trade

I sure hope he sets a high price if he leverages those picks and swaps....and possibly this year's pick. But I do think the odds have increased the Blazers move them for what they view as an upgrade

 

When it smells like a fart, it’s usually @SlyPokerDog whispering in your ear, he’s trustworthy.

 

Because fuck the Bucks that's why.
