How much did Brogdon get? That's a guy who is probably worth investing in.

Can't believe the Bucks were willing to pay so much more for MIddleton and let Brogdon go. This is how small market teams blow the few opportunities they get. Middleton is going to be hated in Milwaukee with that contract. Many fans including myself would have taken Brogdon over him.


This feels a little weird to type, but here goes: Cool, I agree with you.

Whoa. Can they offer Jimmy that much too? I have a feeling Jimmy might be on the move.

Man, the Knicks look like serious losers. So many teams out there landing players and nobody wants to play for Dolan. I guess it's not all about market size after all.

But share with me in feeling great that Spike Lee suffers along with this.

Brogdon is overrated. It's an easy life playing off the ball next to the MVP than be the guy who runs the show. Middleton is for sure the better player of the two and he's also their closer. Brogdon was a great fit next to them, but put him as the lead ball handler and I don't think he's better than either Giannis or Middleton with that much responsibility. The Bucks picked the right guy. Brogdon is solid, but Middleton is a legit All-Star.

Rumor floating around of a 3 way among Minnesota, Dallas, and okc.

Dallas is the team that wants Wiggins

Apparently presti is in minneapolis.

Well first off, I couldn't disagree more. $178 for Middleton and $85 for Brogdon is a ridiculous disparity. Middleton a closer? Hardly. They would have won a championship this year if he was. But I know I'm not going to persuade you otherwise. Maybe check out what Bucks fans are saying on Twitter about this.

I heard that too. Maybe Dallas is interested in Teague? Just can't see how it would all work.

Then the Pacers grossly overpaid for Brogdan. And that's a bad sign for what the Wolves will need to give up in a sign-and-trade for Russell.

Maybe the Wolves can just clear space and sign Russell. Is there a team with cap room that would take Teague and Gorgui plus a future lottery-protected 1st and two future 2nd round picks? The Knicks? Maybe they'd like a veteran PG to mentor Dennis Smith Jr. and the other young players. And Gorgui would probably be an upgrade for the Knicks at Center or PF. The Lakers? They need a PG and it would seem a veteran PG with playoff experience like Teague would fit their win-now situation. Gorgui would add much-needed depth to a team that's pretty thin. The Lakers could use some future draft picks after trading away so many future picks for AD. We'd probably have to take some salary back for the deal to work. Not sure who that would be.
