Devin Booker can be the Jordan in the relationship.

Re: NBA Playoffs 2020
Bucks/Heat Game 3 starts in a few hours. Pivotal game for the future of the Bucks. If they drop this game, panic will ensue.
I've been really surprised and impressed by the Heat. They don't have a lot of star power outside of Butler, but they are scrappy as hell and very tough.
It's noteworthy that Goran Dragic's team is whooping Eric Bledsoe's team...

Re: NBA Playoffs 2020
One thing mentioned on the KOC/Vernon podcast this morning that I never really thought about before, but if the Bucks lose before the finals, they are 100% trading for CP3, right? CP3/Middleton/Giannis is perfect.
Re: NBA Playoffs 2020
What do they have to trade for him and his 41M contract while the cap is going down and Giannis is due for a super max? I think they would have to give up 1st round picks until eternity AND trade everyone on the team that isn't Giannis/Middleton just to make the numbers work.

Re: NBA Playoffs 2020
Why would they have to give up 1sts? I think Bledsoe, Hill, Ilyasova is enough to get it done contract wise.Indy wrote: ↑Fri Sep 04, 2020 1:44 pmWhat do they have to trade for him and his 41M contract while the cap is going down and Giannis is due for a super max?

Re: NBA Playoffs 2020
Why would OKC take back that puu-puu platter for CP3? I know Paul's contract is huge, but if you accept just as much money back and don't get any promising young talent or assets, what's the point? CP3 is playing well for them, so I don't see any point for them to just dump him for equal money unless it nets them an asset or substantial financial relief.
Re: NBA Playoffs 2020
Ilyasova is non guaranteed, so that saves 7 million. Those contracts also only add up to about 32 million. So they save 15ish total. Bledsoe and Hill are both very tradeable as well. Hill would be an expiring and is a useful backup guard. Bledsoe also has value. There is a reason Houston had to give up multiple 1sts to move CP3. He’s still a 35 year old pg with 40 million a year seasons coming up. Who else is going to offer up value for CP3?Mori Chu wrote: ↑Fri Sep 04, 2020 2:09 pmWhy would OKC take back that puu-puu platter for CP3?

What Miami is doing here is pretty incredible. They're about to go up 3-0 on the #1 team in the NBA. Huge series for them and huge implications for the future of the Bucks.

Thew Bucks are on the verge of a massive fail.
Their backcourt just isn't championship-caliber.

Ayton, Oubre, 10th pick plus 2 future 1st for Giannis.
Or
Ayton, Oubre, Cam Johnson( ), 10th pick, and unprotected 1st for Giannis.
Trade Rubio to ATL for cap space, sign FVV
Booker, Giannis, FVV and Mikal starting line-up.

Re: NBA Playoffs 2020
A lot of shots fired at Bud for not playing Giannis more, but it's not like he's lighting Miami on fire when he's playing. He's -14, -7 and -13 in the three games. He hasn't looked much better than Adebayo this series: elite defender that can pass from the top of the key and is hard to deal with near the rim. Everything extra he tries to do is a blessing for the defense, like bricking threes and turn around jumpers around the paint.

And he was playing on a tweaked ankle, it was a thin line what to do with it, winning that third game but losing him for the rest of the series would have been a pirric victory
Re: NBA Playoffs 2020
Need to see some Giannis setting screens in the PNR. Problem is Milwaukee doesn’t have a great option as the ball handler. Middleton and Bledsoe can do it.
Re: NBA Playoffs 2020
I don't think Bledsoe is to blame, but he certainly isn't helping much. And they're probably a better team with George Hill at the point.Superbone wrote: ↑Fri Sep 04, 2020 11:04 pmWe all know a Bledsoe led backcourt isn’t going anywhere.The Bobster wrote: ↑Fri Sep 04, 2020 6:12 pmThew Bucks are on the verge of a massive fail.
