Bucks didn't want to pay Knight and got three guys still on their rookie deals for 1-3 more years. They can go out and chase one big free agent this summer and then they're gonna have like $50-60 million in cap space when the new TV deal kicks in.

Nobody big is gonna sign with the Bucks

The Suns are done yeah, but the Bucks will be fine, MCW hasn't even played for them yet.

Maybe I'll be wrong but I don't think much of mcw at all.He put up stats on a fast paced team that's historically bad

Plus the Bucks had shooting issues to begin with now they're spacing will be even worse

If the Greek Freak keeps improving and the team itself keeps climbing the rungs with Kidd, someone will sign there.

Milwaukee might be meh, but it's only a couple hours from Chicago.

The team shooting won't be that bad, Middleton can hit the 3 and if Ersan can stay healthy they will start him, if not they'll just start Dudley.

I've learned not to doubt Kidd when it comes to PGs, plus they don't even need to play .500 ball to make the playoffs they are that far ahead all it would take is 2 or 3 more wins on the season for them to get in.

Oh yeah they'll make the playoffs by default even if they collapsed I'm just wondering if they made the right long term move because I think Knights better then mcw and I don't think Knight is gonna get as much on the open market as he thinks or the bucks do

Now if mcw turns out to be real good and/or they use the Knight money and get Butler or some real good da then it's a great deal

Knight got traded because
A) He's an upcoming FA and Milwaukee didn't want to pay him
B) Kidd loves MCW and has allegedly had been trying to get the Bucks to trade for him for a while now. I'm just gonna take a wild guess and say that Kidd sees a lot of himself in MCW.

I'm genuinely interested to see how MCW will do with talent around him

Yeah, I think Kidd especially wants a PG that can rebound and then push the break without having to wait for an outlet pass.

Bet we see MCW grabbing boards and then running hard with Giannis on the break a lot more often than we saw it with Knight.

What do you think about Paul George trying to return next month? I'm really not a fan of it. I think they'd be better off getting a lottery pick and trying to reload for next season. I feel like trying to get George back to make a late playoff push is pointless, they have little to gain and everything to lose if things go wrong

I've been against it from the jump, especially since he was supposed to miss the season, they are playing a dangerous game with their franchise player and while bone breaks are different from ligament tears, you can still fukk around and have a bad situation where it takes a long time to really heal (Jrue Holiday / JaVale McGee). If something goes wrong they could lose him for next season just for the shot to get their asses handed to them in the first round this year.

It's a idiotic move and they should have tanked this season from jump, Mudiay or Russell are exactly what they lack and have needed for years now.

Exactly. Like even if they do actually manage to make it to the playoffs they'd get destroyed in the 1st by Atlanta or Cleveland. In this scenario the payoff just isn't worth the risk.
