Are the Bucks at a Crossroads? Win Streak Woes, Ja Morant Trade Rumors, and Timberwolves Preview

1. Unless you can dump greens contract not much upside

2. absolutely get Ja

3. Biggest weakness as a team are the non-giannis minutes. Ja helps with that more than any other available player. Yeah he doesnt fit with giannis, but maybe he doesnt have to play that much with giannis.

4. Quack Rivers needs to be fired. Ja be nice to have if it costs no picks and you can dump kuzma and green.

5. Bucks make my tummy hurt😢 so hate being so passionate!

6. Let's play Green when Giannis is on the bench, only makes sense having your second best +- player coming off bench to keep the game close.

7. I think Dame and Myles show how hard it is to play with Giannis. He needs a level of chemistry that takes time to build. It’s hard to plug and play someone next to Giannis’s gravity. Jrue, Brook and Khris were all high basketball iq players. They had talent enough to win games without Giannis. Khris would become MJ when Giannis was out and returned to sidekick when he got back. We need to understand how great that team was at playing like a team. We need a real number two to carry the team on Giannis load management games and if he’s out longer. Until that point we get a lot of what we have now.

8. Ja Morant or MPJ would improve the Bucks immediately and bring in fresh energy and spark to the squad.i would do any trade but try save KPJ and GA the rest are up for trades

9. Bucks management should be fired for poor roster construction as they should have anticipated the toll it would take on GA to will wins

10. Ima be real ja wouldn’t be a good fit for us and gutting are team for him does us no justice. We have to look else where to improve the team my opinion.

11. What will improve the Bucks?? How about tanking?

12. Not sure how much more you can expect from this team. With the possible exception of Rollins, Giannis is the only legitimate starter on this team ( kpj too careless with the ball he overdribbles, Miles does not rebound and box out enough in the paint, Green too one dimensional and way overmatched at SF).

    They would form a great second unit team, though, if they had legitimate starters to sub in for. Given wt we have (or really, don't), I'd go with Bobby and Kuzma in the starting lineup and stagger their minutes to make them 30 minute players (Miles, too, if Doc is not going to play Sims 10-15 mins a nite anymore, a bad move imo as he seems to have been made the scapegoat for the lousy play of the Bucks (even though he was rebounding very well at 6-8 rebs per 17-20 mins) when Giannis was out despite the fact the misery continues even with Giannis here ..) rather than the Green- Trent combo at 50 mins+. As Doc is going nowhere and this team can't be maxed through a new coaching approach, it seems, then who is on the floor for how long matters. Alot.

    This team desperately needs a good starting 3 and a decent bkup (tho Kuz at that role is good enough) if it's to have any chance of becoming seriously competitive again. Trading for anything else would give up our depth, perhaps our future and our sanity and if too much of all that even for a capable 3, Giannis next summer.

13. Doc Rivers, is the real problem, this team would be above 500 with a better Coach

14. Id take Schroeder over JA. We need athletic wings .

    It's either guards or big men. Except kuz

    Jerami grant would be good

15. Dame and Giannis didn't work and they supposedly were a Perfect Fit… So why not see what Ja could add to this SHIT SHOW….

16. Everyone talking about a bad fit. Dame didn’t fit and they won like 50 games each year with injuries. Winning 50 games and losing in the first round would be a dream compared to this team and dumpster fire of a coaching staff.

17. Is it even worth trying to improve the roster if they’re not going to fire doc?

18. Starting lineup would be morant rollins aj 34 and turner thats the same spacing as giannis has now while you add a way better player then kpj for nothing also kpj is not in a shooting slump these percentages are who he is

19. Trey Murphy should be the guy the Bucks target. Checks all the boxes that we need

20. DADDY HERE!! I'M TIRED OF PEOPLE WORRYING ABOUT THE SO CALLED FIT WHEN THE PLAYERS WE HAVE RIGHT NOW AREN'T THE RIGHT FIT NEITHER!!
