I'm sure he has Plans B, C, D, etc. The question is, what is his time deadline on Plan A?

I watched this team beat OkC and Toronto the past week, and we seem to be able to beat anyone when Ant brings it at both ends of the court. I may be the only one here who supports Plan E...do nothing!

I like the Ayo trade over do nothing

Agree...this clearly makes us better.

Well, I guess I got my question answered! Not sure Ayo was the right guy though. I hope he proves me wrong.

The Los Angeles Lakers are trading Gabe Vincent and a 2032 second-round pick to the Atlanta Hawks for Luke Kennard, sources tell ESPN.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have moved on from their pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo, per @WindhorstESPN

It would be fun to know what offers were on the table. I'm sure this will be revisited at the draft and summer.

Thank God...gotta believe the Bucks wanted us to take Kuzma, and that would have gutted our core. Wouldn't be surprised if TC offered Julius and Naz and no Kuzma deal, and I would have been fine with that. But clearly not enough in the Bucks' eyes.

What's the old saying? Discretion is the better part of valor.

As sexy as a Giannis deal could be, Connelly probably had a line drawn in the sand of what would be too much and Milwaukee (rightfully) probably wanted Jaden AND Beringer AND unloading the Kuzma contract, etc., etc. I guess we'll find out at some point what the offer was.

And this ain't over yet! Assuming Giannis is still a Buck later today, things are going to heat up again in the offseason. Minnesota may be in the Giannis mix again depending on what happens during the post-season.

Damn it.

Doncic + Reaves + James + Kennard + Ayton.

How is an opposing team expected to score any points against that level of defense?

If you blur your eyes just a little, you might think you are watching the 2023-4 Pistons.
