I think the Bucks would pay the luxury tax for the championship. Chris Paul is a viable option. I think the fact that both Bledsoe and Connaughton had Covid had an effect. I don't believe either one of them came fully back to strength in the bubble. That had to effect the team, and the rotations. Because of it, they did not move the ball like they had, before the bubble.
Hill would stay at a reduced contract. His option. Bledsoe could be traded, if you get Paul. I wouldn't think of losing Lopez. The guy was one of our better players in the bubble. He does whatever is asked of him, and is improving with his 3s as well. He's a team guy. You don't dump them. If Bledsoe is traded, you need to replace him. We need someone who can slash to the bucket and create offense because of it. Someone who can glue himself to guards and make them look pathetic shooting the ball. We also need someone who can step in and play quality minutes if Lopez is getting a rest, injured, or out for any period of time.
Now the question is Bud. Can he actually adapt to what needs to be done? The Bucks need to think about contesting 3s correctly, not running out and diving at the shooter, creating fouls. Like Shaq said, in a pregame, that's the worst thing a person can do on defense.
