    The Warriors apparently offered 4 unprotected first round picks for Giannis and the Bucks were not interested in that offer. The Heat are still interested in Giannis but it doesn’t look like a trade is likely by the deadline unless the Heat go crazy with their offer. I am still worried that the Bucks have decided to just tank the rest of the way this season and their plan is to trade that pick for someone like Morant.

    There is a rumor that the Bucks plan to tank the rest of the season but will then trade the pick for a veteran to pair with Giannis. Yep this franchise is screwed.

    It doesn’t look like Giannis will be traded at least not at the deadline.

    If you believe the rumors the Bucks were not willing to put Rollins in a package for Morant. I am not sure the current front office would be willing to trade Rollins unless it was an overpay. I don’t see a team overpaying for Rollins. I think you get a 2nd round pick and maybe a developing younger player along with a salary dump.

    The ads have gotten worse on Safari mobile. The page will sometimes refresh 2-3 times after loading originally. Then the ads start to load again and again and again and again. It is also making the site randomly resize and scroll.

    The Dbacks have a local channel and have already gone through this. It probably will be on the same channel as it was previously. I doubt your package will need to be changed. Also you never watched for free. The regional sports networks were always part of the sports package so you paid for it. It wasn’t for free.

    The death kneel of the regional sports network and hopefully blackout restrictions.

    Because he is the 4th or 5th option on the team for scoring. His job is to play defense and shoot 3's. It works when Giannis is on the court but when he is not then you have a team of #4 and #5 scoring options. The problem with the Bucks is that they don't have a #2 or #3 scorer on the team they have a bunch of guys who are a #4 or #5 scorer. Firing Rivers doesn't really do anything. If the Bucks fire Rivers tomorrow the team will still be bad. I am not a fan of Rivers at all and really it isn't his fault the team is so flawed. Though giving Rivers better players really wouldn't help either. So keeping Rivers right now basically allows the Bucks to tank which is what the Bucks really need to do. Bad drafting and bad trades giving away picks for horrible players. Other than Lillard I can't think of any trade that was even a slight positive for the Bucks. If the Bucks are going to compete with Giannis they need a #2 scorer behind him otherwise it doesn't matter what the Bucks do going forward. The Bucks could keep Giannis but if they don't get a #2 scorer behind him it won't matter. The best option for the Bucks right now is to trade Giannis and start over. Will it be painful? Oh yes it will be but at some point you have to do this or just continue to watch the Bucks into mediocrity until Giannis retires or requests a trade.

    I am assuming this could be a good Turang comp on what it would take to sign him. Probably a bit more than Wilson so something like 6-years $84mm?

    Oh I find it even more funnier a voter chose Ken Anderson over Belichick.
  11. nate82
    Nope the NFL nor the voters put in requirements for the Hall of Good. One voter didn’t vote for Belichick because they didn’t want Ken Anderson (QB), Roger Craig (RB) and L.C. Greenwood (LB) to fall off the list. Umm what??? None of these players are HoF worthy let alone Hall of Very Good worthy. The NFL HoF continues to be a joke. Just put everyone in who retires from the NFL if you are going to put in average players. These voters are going to put some career backup QB into the HoF at some point.

    I don’t believe the Red Sox are going to subtract from their MLB roster and then only get prospects back. I don’t see the Brewers and Red Sox as good trading partners. They just don’t lineup with each other even if the Brewers would have traded Peralta to the Red Sox. The Red Sox didn’t have what the Brewers wanted. Duran has more value than Peralta and the Brewers wouldn’t have given up a prospect to get that deal done. The amount of control left in Duran wasn’t enough for the Brewers to do that. I don’t see anyone on the Red Sox who fall into the criteria the Brewers are looking for to cash in on the prospect capital they have. I don’t see many teams that have what the Brewers would want. Look for a Yelich that is possibly available or an Adames. I just don’t see that player right now that is available in a trade.

    Sure but I was on board with trading Giannis this past offseason. Horst obviously wouldn’t but if you brought in a new GM and told them you want to rebuild I think they would be ok with that. The goal would be to rebuild and get as many assets as you can.
  14. nate82
    This is all dependent on the team overall and the opponent. If your defense can’t stop the other team’s offense then punting on a manageable 4th down is just as reckless. It can be even more reckless if your defense was just on a long drive and you only managed to get one first down and now you’re at 4th and 4 at your 40-yard line. Punting doesn’t really help you there. If your defense is tired does it matter if it is 40-yards for the other team to score or if it is 70 or 60 yards to score? This is all situational. I prefer a more aggressive coaching style over playing it safe.

    I think all of that is irrelevant on what they thought they had. The team was still missing a #2 scorer and maybe even a #3. I don’t include Turner as a good #3 regardless of what the numbers say. The team has a bunch of 4th option players in the roster with a #1 in Giannis. This has never worked in the NBA. Jordan didn’t start winning championships until he got his #2 in Pippen. Same with Giannis when Middleton became that solid #2 scorer. Unfortunately Middleton’s health gave out on him. This past offseason was the time to start the rebuild. Cut the roster to its bones remove the GM. Let Doc stay or retire his choice. I think he would have retired if Giannis wasn’t playing for the Bucks to start the season. This team had too many holes and signing Turner didn’t fix any of them.

    To be honest this should have been done before this season started.

    Turner doesn’t have that much value. At best you are getting a second round pick. No way you are getting a first round pick let alone two. I don’t see the Warriors giving up Hield in a trade and if they do it won’t be for KPJ. At that point it wouldn’t be worth it for the Bucks.

    Maybe the NFL finally wised up and decided to put in requirements for the hall of very good? What those requirements are no one knows. Next year a HC who won one SB and then did nothing afterwards will be a first ballot hall of very good. Could also be he pissed off a lot of the voters and with Belichick that is probably the reason why.

    Cordero turned into Greinke and Yelich through his FA compensation of Jake Odorizzi.

    Pratt could also be moved to 3B though Wilken is already there in AAA. Pratt physically would probably be better at 3B. I am not sure the Brewers share the same idea. It could also allow Pratt to put on some more muscle as he wouldn’t have to be so lean to play at 3B. May also help his power hitting if he puts on some more muscle and weight.

    I wouldn’t call Bader a competent hitter. He had a good year last year which was BABIP driven. He has a career .247/.313/.401 slash line. The last three years he has been a below average offensive player prior to last season. Career wise he has been below average offensively. I am glad the Brewers passed on him. He is basically a slightly worse version of Jeffrey Hammonds.

    Right now the Bucks have the 8th worst record. New Orleans, Sacramento, Brooklyn and Indiana are all far ahead of the Bucks. For the 7-10 teams they are all within one game of each other. Charlotte, Memphis and Milwaukee all have the same number of wins at 18. Dallas has one more win and one more loss in that same group. I think the Bucks have a real good chance at finishing somewhere in the 7-10 pick range. The Bucks are also more than one player away from being a serious contender again. There is no way they become a serious contender again with Giannis unless they somehow strike gold and get a #2 or #3 scorer in this upcoming draft. I am not even sure that player exists right now.

    Manfred on a possible salary cap in the next CBA. “But I do get concerned. We try to listen to our fans, and we do hear from fans in a lot of markets that, ‘Gee whiz, when we look at the resources they have compared to the resources that are available in our market, we don’t feel like it’s quite a fair shake,’ and that’s an issue we’re going to have to deal with.” https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6986854/2026/01/20/mlb-owners-salary-cap-push-dodgers-kyle-tucker/?source=user_shared_article I think this dead on arrival and won’t happen. The owners will not include revenue sharing in the salary cap proposal and the players union will reject it. The salary cap will then be dropped and nothing will change. There are other options beyond a salary cap but the owners don’t want to explore it.

    The chancellor of a University should be looking to improve the academics at a school not worrying about the sports teams at the school.
