Buyout Options

Niang gonna have a monster game tonight and DL ain’t even gonna answer the phone when Marvin calls.
 
I figured Marvin wouldn't have any interest in signing with us. He wants to be on a contender.

Well ****. Not sure he will play much...Giannis, Middleton, Ilyasova eat up a lot of the forward minutes there.

They waive Bender or Brown... I’d like Brown but no interest in Bender.

He called but DL was right in the middle of a good Sudoku... he didn’t have time to break.

I think they are the favorites... so it makes sense. His role will be pretty small when healthy.

What do you want them to do? Williams finalized his buyout and signed with Milwaukee in minutes. Seems like he had his heart set on the Bucks from the start.

I would like them to rewind and make a deal at the deadline because there aren’t many buyout candidates and we aren’t anyone’s first choice.

I think TJ said they had no idea who will be on the buyout market... that’s a problem... because of how these deals happen. I’d think you’d call a bunch of teams and see which guys are going to get bought out or which ones are thinking about it... then you call those players agents and see what the interest would be... do any of us think he didn’t have something in place with Milwaukee prior to agreeing to the buyout?

I don’t think they pick up the phone enough... I think they wait too much. All of their public comments indicate that’s how they operate... it’s weird.

That's the issue... you listen to Locke and he's like "problems... its like 10 minutes a night and TB is fine... not even worth upgrading... and they are working really hard... offensive rebound rate, win share PAC% says he's just really average"

First step to fixing a problem is realizing you have one... we aren't there.

At very least maybe lets put Brantley out there with him... not a shooter I get it but he will try to get rebounds and try on defense. I just watched PJ Dozier and Tory Craig have a good effect on a basketball game by giving a **** and trying. Put a guy out there who is playing for his basketball life.

But nah... Niang and TB are fine... I wonder if we have an excuse machine in the front office... deadline passes pull the lever... lands on "there were only a couple guys we liked so we didn't make a move" that's a great one for trade deadlines and not buying picks... as well as selling your own picks. Pulls lever again "we were aggressive on the market but didn't have stuff teams wanted". Pulls lever again... "just ask yourself questions and answer those questions... use big words and platitudes throw due diligence out a few times... make up some **** about hand pads or balance beams... those internet doods love that"

You know what really chaps my *** about the G League guys... like, there’s this argument that we can totally tell from practices that they’re not ready. Like, we know that. Solid. We have all the data. But then things that are painfully obvious with flaws, game after game, and sometimes over multiple seasons (Exum, among many others), we act like it’s too soon to know anything and feel the data is way too incomplete to make a judgment.

How’s MKG’s D? I know I really wanted him the year before the draft. Haven’t really followed him other than knowing he hasn’t done much.
 
would love MKG on this team but of course our team is too attached to Niang *swears under breath*

It’s a dumb argument. From what I understand practice isn’t some competitive scrimmage for hours where you can see stuff... there is some of that but it’s a lot of shoot around and walk throughs.

My other favorite is “lol you think you know who’s going to be better than the coach? The coach only plays the best players and nothing else goes into that decision you so dumb.”

A lot goes into who plays... Ed was awful and played over Tony for a long time... Ed’s a bet it makes sense. If Tony doesn’t get a chance then the front office and coaching staff looks like they failed (they already failed and that’s okay... just fail faster)... but dudes have to wait their turn until they get a shot. They have to **** up continually until we finally see someone else... who gets yanked at the drop of a hat.

You won’t know what you have unless you play these guys... we have had opportunities to give them a shot. It at least gives you an idea if the development is worth reinvesting in. I look at Terrence Davis and wonder if he would have played for us. Like one of the best things that could happen for our roster construction is NWG getting some time and getting scorched so we could cut him and move on.

The Exum pick wouldn’t have been as catastrophic if after 2-3 years we just said **** it... the guys been hurt but he ain’t it... likely pick up something in trade and move on. DL sticks with projects too long...

Then you get guys like Christian Wood... who is super productive in a stint of games last year... has length athleticism and shows an improved jumper... gets waive and we don’t take on that project. If we had Wood it changes so many things for us.

This year we have like 5-6 projects which is great but if you have that many you kinda need to try some of them... in years past we have like 1... we kinda over corrected.
