Well that makes sense. I think it's really just a matter of actually running a cohesive offense. I like what Jrue brings and I think we've got the pieces...IF they're healthy. I'm loving Beauchamp working with Giannis in Greece. I'm hoping Middleton can get back to the better version of himself. That he needed another surgery and STILL played as well as he did in the post-season is encouraging. He was around 24-25 PPG, shooting over 50/40. Ingles is old, but I think he can be a nice facilitator offensively. Terry Stotts is going to be great for this team...and I think Griffith can keep the defense elite. A HUGE part of the equation is going to be getting Middleton and Lopez back hopefully closer to ~33 and 17 than 40 and 20. Would keep us below the 2nd line that really handcuffs us. I think Jrue would bring back a nice return, but he's been pretty adamant about retiring after his contract is up. That could be in a year or more likely two. Not sure what that gets you.

I'm...just at a total loss for words. "Giannis is probably more ideal as a #2 all-around sorta player." He's been the consensus best player in the NBA the last 3 years and ONLY passed up because Jokic is having the type of post-season he had. Speaking of which, they're almost exactly the same age. So who are we adding so that Giannis is our #2? Man...do we get spoiled QUICK in Wisconsin. You've got a top ~15 player ALL-TIME in his prime and people are saying at...again, TWENTY-EIGHT years old, his prime is behind him and now that he's more ideal as a #2. Guess not a total lost for words, but just dumbstruck either way.

WHAT? Are you seriously inferring that the best of Giannis is "gone," at the ripe old age of 28? That's....wild.

Drafting based on need is not a particularly good idea in any sport, but at least in the NFL, you or NBA, you're talking about players who are more likely to contribute to their teams in the next year or two. In MLB, you're looking at ~3 years if you hit on a College prospect and 5 maybe 6 if it's a HS kid outside the rare stars in each. There's been a pretty stark change in their drafting ideology the last several years. Better hit tools, athleticism...just stick with that. As soon as you start trying to find your next 1B, you're going to reach and for what? Projecting the 2028 lineup?

No clue as this entire thing is absolutely ridiculous. Money to MAINTAIN the stadium? Sure...great. But this ridiculous threat or inferred threat that we'd better or else? I'm not sure what type of forum this is, but if I were to articulate my point how I wanted, I'm sure my post, which will be awaiting approval by a moderator-would not be approved. The stadium is outstanding, it's in great shape, the Brewers are doing well. And again, I get we need to plan ahead, but unless this was some combined blackmail by Attanasio and MLB to get the state to actually pony up money that I think both sides are already pretty much in agreement that this is something that needs to be done, then I don't understand the point. And not that this is of huge significance, but it's also made it sound as though we're on similar footing to the As or Rays and we've just got a trash stadium.
