ESPN had him ranked 66 so not really a reach. 6’9 3 and D guy. I never heard of him either but he could be someone to stash and that could be something. Grades that I am seeing are B’s.

Bucks did buy pick #60 from Orlando

I thought was a chance the bucks would try to buy a pick in this round, about 1/3 of the way through and nothing. Not even sure what players they would target anyway. I would like a low ceiling senior who can help this year like Kolek did for the Knicks or Brogdon way back in the day.

well Harrell was a reach by TT. You are probably forgetting that Andrew Fischer and Blake Burke attended Tennessee.

I (think) he is mixed up with Marcus Haslip @rwa12

Both players could have easily gone at 9. Dallas kind of reached (But May knows his guys so I am sure they feel like they didn't). I thought Ament or Burries could have went to Dallas.

I like what Horst did. He took the best player available at 10 and 13, that is a change in his SOP which normally is swing wildly for the fences. Both players are projects, but have potential.

There are online rumors about him going to Detroit. I wouldn't be surprised if the trade grows to 3-5 teams before its official as the bucks continue to try to get picks. That is what happened last year to the Durant trade, but I think that one was 7 teams.

Obviously the Giannis trade changes things for tonight. Instead of drafting guys line Lendoburg, hopefully the bucks focus on projects that can be good in a couple of years. I have said since the lottery that Karim Lopez screams a Horst pick.

Things have really gone down hill since he came aboard. Its not all his fault, but you can't deny the coincidence.

I am just glad that this is over with. If I'm a Pelicans and Blazers fan, I am doing backflips as they get the unprotected 2027 pick and 2028 picks respectively while the Bucks are in for a long rebuild. I do prefer this route over taking Brown and a pick or 2 and shooting for the play in tourney.

I think its pretty simple. If he says he will sign the extension, you keep him. If he can't / won't commit you have to move him for the best you can get. Its no different than what Matt Arnold deals with every year with all pending free agents. I would rather have a few first round picks than 1 more year of Giannis.

I would think it would be flip him for more picks / players. He has said he doesn't want to be traded here.

I know he hasn't had the best success with reporting on the Giannis saga but here you go: https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/286194/Giannis-Antetokounmpo-Will-Be-Traded-To-Celtics-Or-Heat-No-Other-Teams-Involved

honestly, any package the bucks accept will be viewed as crap. no team can give equal value without gutting the team and all future assets. Honestly, unless they get another lottery pick and can trade into the top 5, its a loser trade.
