2024-25 Milwaukee Bucks Season Thread

middleton is not what he once was, but i am little surprised that giannis let it happen. hopefully kuzma (whom i never heard of before) fits in well with the bucks team.

It's said Giannis supported the trade. Middleton might be a friend but he also knows Middleton provides nothing to the team. At least Kuzma might be able to help.

Apparently, Kuzma also gave up some trade bonus that brings the Bucks salaries under second tier and allows the Bucks to aggregate salaries in trades. Possibly, this got us out from under Middleton, gave us a younger 'Middleton,' and gave us trade flexibility. Hopefully, this turns out good.

middleton is a much better shooter.

Better shooter but I think Kuzma offers slightly better defense. Still as the old saying goes the best ability is availability. That's something they have not got out of Middleton in several seasons.

Kuzma having a bit of an off year, but at this point he's better than Middleton.

Pretty much on purpose from what I've read. I don't agree with that type of approach to, well, almost anything, but he could just stand there and be an improvement over Middleton's defense.

At least this opens up a real possibility that something else is in the works. Maybe nothing earth-shaking.....but.....??

same thing I said to my neighbor after the Luka trade; I don't think the Mavs are done. And they weren't, they did make 1 more trade.

Going to be interesting do the Bucks package Portis and Pat C before tomorrows deadline to try to get someone else

Unfortunately, on a side note, that neighbor is the radio voice of the Mavs; he's on the road with the team, and this morning one of their dogs passed. My wife is over with his wife now . . . .
