Someone said he could be claimed off waivers if you had the space to absorb his salary, which the Wolves do have...
But he has been injury prone, and his number really aren't very good. (of course, he destroyed the Wolves earlier this season!).

He seems like a shoo in for the Bucks.
Conley has officially been waived...Q-is-here wrote: ↑Thu Feb 05, 2026 2:31 pm Thomas seems a little redundant with Ayo and Bones in terms of archetype, i.e. scoring bench guards with questionable defense.
I could see still adding a pure game manager/ball security PG as a safety valve/insurance policy if needed (Conley being the most obvious choice or Tyus if bought out).
I don't think most of us have watched much Bulls/Ayo. We shall find out soon exactly what he can bring to the team. I feel like he is going to be playing a lot of minutes with Ant in those minutes where we usually struggle when Donte, Jaden, and Rudy are all on the bench together. When he's playing with Ant, he can really focus on the defense, hitting wide open threes, and driving to the basket as Ant gets doubled.Q-is-here wrote: ↑Thu Feb 05, 2026 2:31 pm Thomas seems a little redundant with Ayo and Bones in terms of archetype, i.e. scoring bench guards with questionable defense.

He's already an elite shooter and smart passer/ball handler. If he is truly as good as you and others say he is on defense then we just committed the most one-sided trade in history and he should be starting over DDV and play at least 34 MPG.Crazysauce wrote: ↑Thu Feb 05, 2026 2:44 pm Q I think you are way underrating ayos defense. Dude is really good and a really smart defender. I think Cam could definitely help with some pop off the bench and we have guys that can help hide him on defense.
We only have one true PG on the roster now in Bones Hyland, so I expect Finchy will want to bring in Conley now that he has been waived. He obviously trusts him, and it would be good to have another reliable ballhandler...even if his shooting touch is gone.Q-is-here wrote: ↑Thu Feb 05, 2026 2:31 pm Thomas seems a little redundant with Ayo and Bones in terms of archetype, i.e. scoring bench guards with questionable defense.

Ok, he's definitely coming back then, right?60WinTim wrote: ↑Thu Feb 05, 2026 2:43 pmConley has officially been waived...Q-is-here wrote: ↑Thu Feb 05, 2026 2:31 pm Thomas seems a little redundant with Ayo and Bones in terms of archetype, i.e. scoring bench guards with questionable defense.
