Milwaukee Bucks: The Giannis Era - Page 4 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I agree with Wiggins or Parker.

I think the Bucks will make the right choice regardless, I trust our ability to draft.

I think we are going to take the most 'NBA-Ready' of those 3.

I think Parker is the most NBA ready, but I'd rather have Wiggins

Need that new arena though. Bad.

Yeah a new arena is much needed

I agree but really think there is a solid chance Parker is going to be the steal/best value

The idea of drafting Embiid and having a front court of :

Embiid
Sanders
Giannis

Looking mighty good imo!

Not every player has to have huge offensive upside. But him and Sanders are kind of the same. I'd trade illy asap. But apparently Kohl loves him.

Jeff Adrien. Poor man's Larry Sanders? Must keep, imo.

Adrien could be a great first big off the bench

New ownership on the way! Good to finally get something going. Step one out of about ten, but the most important one.

The new ownership and Kohl are both commiting $100M each towards a new arena too, plus I'm sure they will get some naming rights money at some point too (Maybe Miller/Coors could call it the Coors Center to go along with Miller Park?)

I completely support the sales tax for Miller Park and would support the same for a new arena as well (or anything to assist with public funding). The people that complain about it just like to complain really loudly I think, and most people don't care or support it but are pretty quiet about it.

Coors center would be a cool idea. Maybe bmo harris stays? Idk. But I too would fully support a tax for a new arena, or put it to other things in the area to spice things up a bit. Either way, this is all great news.

Not a Bucks fan - I just thought it was terrific that Kohl had keeping the team in MIL a requirement for the sale. Good for him, glad for you guys.

So what are we hoping for the offseason guize?

I hope one of Ilyasova/Mayo get traded. Both ideally. If we grab Embiid I wouldnt mind Sanders contract off the books either but if he can get back healthy he should be a quality leader.

If we do grab another big I also wouldn't mind ditching Henson while he still has value

Draft Parker. Trade our seconds and Illy/Mayo for a random first. Give Sanders one more year/shot. Become the Thunder north in two years.

Ps- Fire Drew.
