2025-26 Milwaukee Bucks Season Thread

Free agent forward Gary Harris has agreed to a two-year deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, with a player option on the second season, sources tell ESPN. Bucks continue to fortify the roster with a veteran wing who played key rotation roles for playoff teams in Denver and Orlando.

During the playoffs, I thought Myles Turner played a little "dirty". That said - it's exactly what the Bucks are lacking. While Lopez could protect the rim, he didn't play with the same physical intensity that Turner does.
 
So, we get rid of Connaughton and trade 2 more draft picks away? How are the Bucks supposed to right the ship without draft picks? Just askin'?

I just think it would have been better to suffer Connaughton exercising his $10M option - a lite beer in my world - instead of giving up 2 draft picks even if they are second round.

second round picks in the nba draft (especially the bottom half of the nba draft) are like 7th round picks in the nfl. it is very rare that they turn out to be starters. i agree that the bucks gm has squandered all of the bucks draft capital, but it appears they are more interested in aging established starters than developing rookies.at least until giannis moves on.

Bucks made that trade as it's expected the guy they got back is going back to Europe and to do some take very little of his $8 million salary to get bought out. This helps the Bucks cap situation.

I said yesterday that I read, on ESPN, that Giannis was not happy about cutting Lillard. Last night I read an article that said he was the one pushing for Turner, and was ok with the other moves that were being made.
And I read that Lillard was happy about the move as it freed him up to take control of his rehab and next team (if any); frankly if I was given $113 million over 5 years to not have to work - I would be happy!

Yeah the guy saying Giannis was not happy is Giannis wife cousin but he also has served as the mouth piece for Dame in the past. I am calling BS on Giannis being upset as it's just another thing in media trying to force Giannis out of MKE. If Giannis was calling Turner and trying to get him to come to MKE he was working with the front office because he knew to get Turner the Bucks would have had to make the move to get rid of Dame which means he was on board with the move if he was making a pitch to get Turner.
