2024-25 Milwaukee Bucks Season Thread


There's also another brewing backstory in Milwaukee that could push Giannis toward an exit. Many people in the NBA have heard that Rivers, known for his in-house political maneuverings, has already won over the owner enough that he's now the key voice in basketball decisions.

"They tell me it's up to Doc now, that they're going to wait 20 games and then see what Doc wants," said one person familiar with the Bucks' front-office inner-workings. "It sounds like it's a mess."

Doc is a cancer to any team he goes to. But it's also on the owners if they are backing him to let him do whatever he wants as it will end up running this team into the ground and being one of the worst teams in the NBA.

Doc was not, and has never been, the answer.
 
He's a bust as a buck. He never really wanted to be in MKE and wondering if he is actually playing with that attitude that he does not want to be in MKE and perhaps trying to get himself traded.

Just a rugger and definitely not a basketball afficianado - especially the new game, I never liked this trade. What has Lillard ever won? When has he - outside his mind - been the leader that carries the team.
 
Is this possible? Would it be good? Do we have front office that could make this work?


To me it is at least intriguing
Trash deal no way do I want Ben Simmons and his garbage contract I laugh and hang up the phone on the Nets for that.

"They own their own first (round pick) in 2025, they own Phoenix’s first, they own the Knicks’ first, they own Milwaukee’s first, which is one through four protected. They own their own firsts in ’26 and ’29."

"They just can say … here’s Ben Simmons’s expiring contract and here are all of these picks. Just take all of them. Take as many as you want, and give us Giannis."

are you just ignoring all the picks? i thought you wanted to blow it all up and start over. we should throw thanasis in as well. they are a package deal.

A team I talk to is OK City. Tons of picks. I think a better deal is out there then this one.

Plus said Bucks will not trade Giannis unless Giannis would press for a trade. I don't think that would happen until the off-season if he did.
