Giannis could be looking to force his way out of Milwaukee if things don’t improve, Giannis has told people Miami/Brooklyn are preferred destinations.

we'll see what happens in the playoffs.

they need to make the ECF. Don't see it happening, but that's the minimum IMO.

Dame can opt out after next season in the summer of '26, but he'd be turning down a 63 million player option. He'd be 36 then.

Giannis the same in the summer of '27. He'll be 33.

They’ve got a 2nd round ceiling

Stranger things have happened but I would be highly highly shocked if they beat Cleveland

Yeah, Cleveland is too good. Kenny Atkinson done took them to another level. They are the only ones who can take down the Celts in the East IMO.

Window is CLOSED, Dame gonna collect the last few years of his supermax, Nobody giving him that kind of money at that age. They will be facing Cleveland if they happen make it to the 2nd round, I personally don't think they can beat the Pacers in the first round. They're a small market team in an undesirable destination capped out by Giannis and Dame.

they really need a 3rd option. Maybe they are hoping Kuz steps up.

Maybe put Thanasis on the playoff roster to goon and hurt Spida and Garland? :pachaha:

Brook Lopez coming off the books next season but they tied up $20 Million to Kuzma for the next 3 years. Kevin Porter has potential and has been solid for them in limited minutes(16 per night) but he opting out at the end of the season. They gonna be a middle of the pack team again next year unless they get a legit 3rd option. Kuzma ain't that. If they can clear some cap space and somehow get Myles Turner in free agency they can be dangerous.

package Kuz.

edit: forgot Big Eyes should be back in a week or so. Porter should get more minutes IMO and see if they can get him a fleece contract to keep him.

Giannis will be 30 going on 31 next year, and he heavily relies on athleticism. I don't think I'm risking Flagg on that, especially considering the caliber of teams that would be getting the number 1 pick probably won't be close to competing for a chip.
That jumper coming along slowly by surely, he'll play as long as LeBron minimum

bucks are one of the few teams in the nba that have zero guys under 25 who have potential to be anything

If I was the GM, I'd Resign Porter, Portis definitely opting in, Pat as well, Package both of those expiring deals attach a first rounder and Call the Bulls for Nikola Vucevic, they'll have some leftover money to get a get a guy like Kelly Oubre.

Dame
Kevin Porter Jr
Kyle Kuzma
Giannis
Vucevic

is a respectable starting 5. With Oubre Jr coming off the bench.

Vucevic has one more year left at 20mill and he's turning 35 this year, trading more picks for a 35 year old center is bad business

The Bucks don't control their own first round pick until 2031

20261-OwnNOP has the right to swap its 2026 1st round pick for MIL's 2026 1st round pick
20271-OwnNOP will receive the more favorable of its 2027 1st round pick and MIL's 2027 1st round pick and ATL will receive the less favorable of the two protected for selections 1-4; if this pick falls within its protected range and is therefore not conveyable, then NOP' commitment to ATL will be lifted and NOP will instead receive both picks (via NOP)
20281-OwnPOR has the right to swap its 2028 1st round pick, protected for selections 15-30 if POR has not conveyed a 1st round pick to CHI by 2027, for MIL's 2028 1st round pick
20301-OwnPOR has the right to swap its 2030 1st round pick for MIL's 2030 1st round pick
