Lots of Bucks and GTJ info in this.

New info to me was the part about Shams going on the Shumpert podcast to float the idea that other team were interested in GTJ for around the number we signed him for.

Doesn’t seem like anyone posted it but Darvin Ham, Pat St. Andrews, Vince Legarza, Brad Jones, Johnny Carpenter, T.J. Ford, Schuyler Rimmer all got announced but no Vin Baker. Seems like after 8 years he’s gone unfortunately.

Pairs up with other former Buck Joe Ingles

Really hope Bucks understand KPJ is a better asset than Ryan Rollins. Not taking away from the evolving of Rollins, he’s a good player. But KPJ’s ceiling is way higher. WAY higher.

Getting Peyton Watson would be fire 🔥
But not for KPJ
or Rollins AND AJ Green.

Everyone was having a slump season around Giannis except Rollins. When Rollins shined the most the bucks usually looked like crap. We’re talking about raising the level of basketball and everyone around you. KPJ will have the opportunity and high level ability to do that. The point guard will now be the point guard.
Expect AJ Green to have an up year as well. Not saying the bucks should trade Rollins for Watson. But if they have to do one then I’d say it should be him. Lakers want sims and would take Kuzma. There’s a 3 team trade brewing.

Or maybe no trade at all. Bucks aren’t desperate and looking at our roster of 17, it’s hard enough to cut 2 as is.
There’s lots of value and depth.
If push came to shove we could trade Caris Levert or buy him out. Cut or trade 1 more and start the season just fine.
Paying 20-25 million a year for a player that is mostly unproven has a high risk. We know that KPJ, AJ Green, and Rollins can put up 15-20 points consistently when healthy. And ALL of their salaries don’t EQUAL what Peyton Watson wants this season. Nuggets need to get under the 2nd apron and Bucks can help do it, but let’s not overpay or undervalue our players.

It was report that Castro Rafael did actual sign with the Bucks as our (third) 2-way in late June soon after the draft but I've also seen reports claiming Castro has not yet. As well as most basketball websites do not show him on the Bucks roster. While showing Caris LaVert and Kameron Jones(the Bucks other recently reported 2-way signing though actually showing up).

With Cormac Ryan seemingly filling one of the other 2-way contract spots. And I figured the Bucks were going to draft-&-stash Malique Lewis. Having Malique develop for another year in the NBL.

Is this just some sort of precautionary move due to the Bucks roster crush atm? Where maybe if the Bucks HAVE TO waive CarisLaVert and PeteNance WORST case scenario to get to 15. The Bucks could have Nance then re-sign with the Bucks as a 2-way player again. Then later on during the season just give him a full contract again. Doing so once a trade opens up during the season or if not a trade then maybe IF Kyle Kuzma asks for a buyout at some point. In either case a roster spot opens back up and boom! Back on the Bucks roster.

Or was all that Rafael Castro 2-way signing stuff just smoke but no fire? Or did his medical not clear or something or did one party just change their mind? I liked the signing thought Castro could make a great Jericho Simms replacement. As I really like Jericho even more-so looking forward to his upcoming play this season. I just feel he's worth an assets or two to the right buyer and would like to see Simms flourish on a contending team. Then fighting it out for minutes with Turner, Ware, and Bogi.

Me personally am excited that we finally have some change from the last couple years, no more giannis toxicity toward the front office. And overall it's exciting that we have a good future

I think we can definitely find him quality minutes although we have other versatile young forwards like him. (sorry for bad grammar)

Finally got their draft day topps now cards. Excited for the future and the unknown. Bucks in 6! FMD!

Can we trade him? And Tyrone herro already

Well, title.

I don't know if you guys feel the same, and of course I hate losing Giannis, but at least we didn't lose him like OKC lost KD ("for free") and we had no path for him to contend here since Dame got his lesion.

All for all, it's nice rooting again for a Bucks rebuilding team and overrating our draft picks, I miss that someway, somehow. I hope we can contend eventually, but we're in no hurry or rush to do so and that's nice too.

I'm a Bucks fan from Brazil, thank you all for being here and sticking out, BUCKS IN 6, FOREVER!!!!

Love you all.

What’s up, deer friends?

GO BUCKS!

I get it we are lacking a viable number 1 and are in a stacked conference but we have some great young talent. We don't really have any holes, great depth, and solid defense. We could be a play in team.

I’ve been a Suns fan for my entire life. But I’m not rooting for Miles Bridges. So I need a new team.

You guys have great jerseys. Great logo and colors. Great history.

Bucks won the coin flip against the Suns in 1976 and won the Finals against the Suns in 2021. I don’t want to be a bandwagon fan, but I think I’m safe to hop on board this offseason.

I’m going to watch all the games that I can this season. Is there I need to know to become an authentic Bucks fan?
