He's highly intriguing. I think he'd be ideal on a 2 way where he spends most/all of his time with the Herd.

This Kawhi move was our best-case right? Out of the East, no Lakers super team, and the West will now just beat itself up even more with a bunch of good to very good teams but no overwhelming favorite.

The ripple effect of Kawhi is/will be great for the whole League IMO.

Man, it really really sucks that we squandered our recent picks. Vaughn, Maker and Wilson instead of something like Delon Wright, Domantas Sabonis and John Collins, really, REALLY friggin hurts.

We could've used those assets to go get a 2nd superstar. Instead, we got nothing outta Vaughn, used Maker in a deal that landed Mirotic for 3 months and are relying on DJ to likely be our back-up PF assuming we trade Ersan along with salary filler (TPE + filler) for an impact guy.

EDIT - And that doesn't even include the Greivis Vasquez pick bull**** which cost us a 2nd (Norman Powell) and a 2017 1st (OG Anunoby). 

Jason Kidd sucked.

Lol. Thanasis is not close to being an NBA player. Can’t imagine him getting any minutes in a game that’s closer than 15 points. If it helps keep Giannis, that’s all that really matters. But it’s going to be awkward if we have to trade/release him.

Yaaaa. I agree. Sign Giannis to the super max and then cut him. Hahahah

I'm still trying to figure out the reasoning behind this...Is it because they don't care about the 15th man? But then what happens when we don't play him? Does Giannis get upset that his brother is getting no burn? 

At the absolute best, Thanasis becomes a lockdown defender that provides high level energy for 5 minute spurts. FFS, the dude played 15 minutes a night in the Greek League last year.

5.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 0.3 steals and 1.1 turnovers on 43.3/18.8/47.5

Absolute waste of a roster spot that could've been given to a developmental prospect like Hommes.

Are the Bucks scared Giannis won't sign Super Max?

No clue. Maybe they see something we don't. It's the 15th bench spot so it doesn't really impact much. Plus, it'll be good to have him around behind the scenes. They push each other like no other. 

EDIT - It also could've been to keep Toronto from signing him as a ploy to pull Giannis. Kinda like how Dallas drafted Kostas.

I guess Brogdon had moved out of Milwaukee before free agency even started. I don't know if he was renting or owned his condo but he was out of it as soon as we did exit interviews apparently. So, yeah, there was no salvaging that. At least we got the TPE and the 1st out of losing him.

But if dude left because of how he felt about Milwaukee's segregation, he's in store for a reality check in friggin' Indiana.

As of today, this is probably our DC

Bledsoe | Hill
Matthews | Connaughton | DiVincenzo
Middleton | Brown | Thanasis
Giannis | Ilyasova | Wilson
BroLo | RoLo

We need to make another move, man.

That’s enough to win the east
