So the Bucks don't have talent outside of Giannis?
Nevermind the fact that they're loading up with shooting at damn near every position around him, which is the antithesis of what the Thunder have done.

Can someone explain why Boston wants paul George and Hayward and not paul George/Hayward and Blake?
They really wanna tie up all their flexibility for that?

rather have the two elite wings and have PG play the 4 when going small than blake and horford. it seems like a more versatile lineup
Yeah I agree, it's just that theyve just used two top 5 picks on small forwards in the past 2 years, and they already have crowder too
Wouldn't signing Blake+Hayward without giving up assets be more in line with Danny's strategy?

Maybe but I think Blake is tainted at this point. He misses significant time every year and usually at the times he's needed the most. Maybe the Cs didn't expect it to be possible to get Hayward and George. Now that it is, they are still in great position even if they have too many SFs. They can easily move some of them or throw one in the George deal, maybe even get a solid backup big in the process and get to keep one of their picks. They have a lot of options here.
I feel like only a desperate team will want to make a move for Blake. The Cs aren't that.
They dont have the cap for both

This is a really good point, a huge weakness for them is their rebounding and Blake would help out with that way more than the other two. DeAndre would be the best pick up Boston could make imo
I don't like deandre next to horford tho

blake and his alligator arms wont help as much as you think... with hayward/PG their offense would be so efficient rebounds become less of an issue, like bron-wade heat teams after they started playing bosh at 5.

The Heat could get away with that because Bron could rebound like a PF in the playoffs, George & Hayward aren't good rebounders.

ehh... id still go with hayward/PG given the choice. blake will shrink the floor stagnate the offense, and he cant stay on healthy. its not worth a couple extra rebounds.
