I’m predicting a Ja Morant + Grizzlies filler player(s) trade inbound.
As long as we don’t move Rollins I’m honestly fine with it. Every single other player on the team can go. The coach can go. Whatever
It’s been said continuously but this team simply cannot compete with Doc Rivers being the coach.
He actively hurts the team. Any new player acquired is most likely going to play below their skill level because the coach can’t put players in a position to succeed or even have a semblance of a plan.
either you get a wing or there’s really no point. and good wings cost a lot
Can you trade coaches in the NBA?
Oh like when we acquired Turner but all we got was a Myles Turner-shaped cardboard cutout?
Welcome to Milwaukee, Luka!!
People will hate but they’ve always tried. Went all in with Jrue, flipped Jrue for Dame to try to extend the window, stretched and waved Dame to be able to sign Turner instead of wasting a year of Giannis. Idk who they’ll land or if it’ll work but it’s a small market doing everything they can to build around their star
If Doc is still the coach does it matter?
HC move
if it’s not a stretch wing (mpj, grant, wiggins,etc) then i dont want it. rollins is literally a more valuable and compatible player with GA than Ja, levine, derozan or whomever else has been rumored.
I think what the Bucks FO considers a big move is not what I consider a big move
It’ll be Ja. I’m okay with it but it’s not a big move.
Only player up for trade that’s been talked about that I’d want in MPJ but I don’t think he’s going to move the needle a ton for us.
I can’t think of a single trade that would make me feel significantly better about this team
Unless it involves firing Doc it doesn’t matter.
Okay so they can manage to fire Doc
You mean to tell me Kyle kuzma isn’t enough to keep Giannis happy?
All yall do is whine lol
Im almost entirely certain this is another one of those non-existent sources.
Cool. Fire Doc
They can get prime LeBron wouldn’t matter if doc is the coach.
I’m worried boss.
Khris to Milwaukee 😤😤😤
I don’t get what move could possibly save the season. And no move will be able to overcome Doc.
If it’s Ja, I might travel 2,000 miles to riot in the Deer District
Ja Morant, YOU are a Milwaukee Buck 🫵😭
Is the move trading Giannis???
That’s not really saying much

Do you think we’ll ever learn that constantly trying to making the “big” move won’t cover up the obvious holes in the roster?
I think we can make marginal moves with guys off the bench but I don’t think we’ve ever committed to a huge swing in season before, and this team needs a huge swing and a coaching change. I bet we just make a smaller trade and let the offseason come before major stuff happens
Is firing Doc big enough
It’s like a bad relationship and instead of ending it we doubling down and having a kid

Big move should be to fire the coach
