@redcrayon27 @BucksBallKnower I’m guessing it’ll be an Early Bird deal, about $14 million per year on a 1+1 contract with a player option for the second year. Let’s see who guesses closer.

@BucksBallKnower Horst and GA love Porter I think it’ll be something like 3 years 24 mil

We’d want kpj on a 10 mil contract if Rollins walks/wants legit star money a year from now is my point. Injured first game is bad luck to me Rylo can’t be extended will be unrestricted so up for real $, plantar fasciitis is chronic & due to foot shape so that’s its own concern 2

@ShakBe94 @finleykuehl @YHK360 In reality, his inconsistency mainly stems from injuries. When healthy, he has largely met the front office’s expectations, doing his best to involve teammates in the offense and bring energy to the team with active defense. It’s not easy to win without Giannis

@finleykuehl @YHK360 KPJ played well for large stretches. He’s a good player that Doc was trying to force into being a star.

Bucks season grades: Kevin Porter Jr. C+ Ryan Rollins A AJ Green C+ Myles Turner D Kyle Kuzma B Bobby Portis B- Taurean Prince B+ Gary Trent Jr. D+ Jericho Sims B+ Ousmane Dieng C+ Cormac Ryan A+ Pete Nance A Gary Harris C Andre Jackson Jr. D+

@YHK360 @idkbutmaybengl @finleykuehl @NworaVibes So this is just a rating based on expectations, not actual on court performance?？ Obviously it’s just a biased take from a KPJ hater, it shouldn’t be taken seriously. If you guys need this to circlejerk and feed your ego, go ahead.

@idkbutmaybengl @finleykuehl @NworaVibes Aint no one but you include Rollins in this convo. He is an A because he exceeded expectation, KPj is a C because he didn’t exceed expectations

@finleykuehl @ShakBe94 @YHK360 Aside from his 3P shooting plummeting sharply ten games after returning from injury, he is unquestionably the team’s second most impactful player in all other advanced metrics and overall influence, which is exactly how Horst characterized him in his interview.

@ShakBe94 @YHK360 If you agree that KPJ was overtasked this season and isn't qualified for a featured role then you agree that his grade should be lower because many people did expect him to be some form of star this year

@Peenur_ @Zpackbrewbucks @x_WolfMan_41 The truth is, he makes his teammates better, he’s fucking one of the two most winning players on this team.

@Zpackbrewbucks @x_WolfMan_41 Kpj cool just not a winning player. Rylo is better and id rather have labaron starting and get touches opposed to fighting with Rylo and kpj for them. Saying letting kpj walk is a braindead take is fucking hilarious 😂😂 shows your iq

Bucks completed first step. Fired doc. Now Hire Jenkins. Then trade giannis. Draft a stud. And get rid of everyone on the team outside of KPJ and Rollins that is over 25. Only young guys. We playing for 2030. Do this and I'll be excited again!

@Peenur_ @Zpackbrewbucks @x_WolfMan_41 Anyone who claims he isn’t a winning player has no independent thinking and just follows the crowd.He has the highest winning percentage on the team in games he has played.He and GA are the two players who have the greatest impact on the team’s winning rate.

@Matty15102 @zackbitter17 The Bucks aren't a winning team this season either. What does that say? Does the whole team lack good players at this point?

@brant999961 @zackbitter17 And yet they were not a winning team.

The #Bucks have such a good roster. Look at ALL the players and tell me how they weren't a playoff team??? It is SO DISAPPOINTING that Doc Rivers wasted our whole season. LIKE WTH??? HOW DO WE EXPLAIN OUR RECORD

@Matty15102 @zackbitter17 1. He had no major injuries before joining the Bucks. ​ 2. He played most games without GA, shouldering heavy offensive duties while guarding the top threat, leading to physical overload. ​ 3. During the Rockets' rebuild, he and sengun were the only 2 players with positive EPM.

@brant999961 @zackbitter17 And yet he never stays healthy and has never won anywhere he has played. So you tell me why that is?

@Matty15102 @zackbitter17 1. KPJ ranks second on the team in all major advanced defensive metrics, behind only GA. ​ 2. He prioritizes playmaking, averaging the 8th most assists per game in the league; also ranks 8th in potential assists per minute.

@brant999961 @zackbitter17 1. They don’t play defense. 2. Me first mentality. 3. Play historical basketball. 4. Show boat after the most basic shit is accomplished on the court.

@Matty15102 @zackbitter17 What is meant by “unserious ballers”？

@zackbitter17 Kuz and KPJ are unserious ballers. With the right scheme some of these guys could be solid but the roster is a mismatched mess and there is no coherency in what Horst has assembled.

@KingCrab1984 @creamcityrylo @Shafftybro2 Opinions are shaped by stance. Most of these comments come from extreme Rollins fans, who feel KPJ is taking away Rollins’ development opportunities，even though they clearly play different positions. As you mentioned, Horst’s interview positions KPJ as the 2nd core of the team.

@creamcityrylo @Shafftybro2 Whatever that means. Im really not interested in continuing the kpj vs rollins thing, i like them both, i just find it weird that people put Rollins on the "keep" list while KPJ just gets discarded when hes obviously more talented and objectively more impactful.

no he wasn't lol

@HunchoGambles @Fantasy05224292 Anyone who calls him "not a winning player" is just following the herd and won’t even bother looking at the stats. The irony is he has the highest win percentage on the team when he’s in the lineup.His win rate contribution is second only to GA.

@Fantasy05224292 Sell him high not a winning basketball player

Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Cormac Ryan, Jericho Sims, and Ousame Dieng are the only players that should be a Milwaukee Buck next season #FearTheDeer

@YHK360 @KevinPorterMVP @21chaunceyjr @MIPRollins Even when his 3PT shooting slumped badly later on, he still impacted the game with drives, playmaking and defense. Love him or not, EPM and other advanced metrics show he’s clearly the team’s second best player behind GA. I don’t see him coming off the bench. we’ll see.

@brant999961 @KevinPorterMVP @21chaunceyjr @MIPRollins What about his other basketball abilities? They got better after his time outside the NBA. He isn’t a good 3 point shooter. He is the 6th ma next year

Guys I’d like to see on the roster next season: -Rollins -KPJ -Ous -Pete Nance -Jericho -Cormac Ryan -Lottery Pick Guys I don’t want to see: -Giannis (and his brothers) -Portis -Turner -Green -Andre Jackson Don’t care cause expiring: -Kuzma -Trent -Harris -Prince

@YHK360 @KevinPorterMVP @21chaunceyjr @MIPRollins After returning from injury this season, he shot over 60% from 3PT in his first 10 games, and his advanced stats even ranked among the league’s top guards during that stretch. That’s why I’m optimistic he can rediscover his three point shot.

@YHK360 @KevinPorterMVP @21chaunceyjr @MIPRollins Off court issues don’t change his shotting form, but a year without training and games took its toll. Watch his rockets 3PT highlights，his shot was smooth and natural. His shooting motion back then is night and day compared to now.

@brant999961 @KevinPorterMVP @21chaunceyjr @MIPRollins Off the court issues changed his shooting form?

@YHK360 @KevinPorterMVP @21chaunceyjr @MIPRollins Focus on his growth curve instead of his career average. His 3 point percentage kept rising early on. in Rockets, he was top 3 in C&S 3PT for two seasons. A year off the league due to off court issues disrupted his training and changed his shooting form.

@brant999961 @KevinPorterMVP @21chaunceyjr @MIPRollins He’s been consistently a below average three point shooter his whole career. What makes you say he’s gonna “rediscover” it?

@KevinPorterMVP @21chaunceyjr @MIPRollins KPJ is top 8 in the league in assists per game, first in steals, and puts up nearly 18 points a night. Once he rediscovers his three point shot, no one on the Bucks is taking the starting PG job from him，not even a top rookie guard, who’d have to earn minutes off the bench.

@21chaunceyjr @MIPRollins Don’t think so. I’m fine with him coming off the bench as a backup pg

@UofBasketball @KalshiSports @KalshiHoops Bucks are just terrible.

2025-26 Least Effective 5-Man Lineups... What stands out?

@koller83 @TheDunkCentral @BrettSiegelNBA This is hilarious. You can’t even acknowledge the facts and data staring you in the face. What a total clown, completely living in your own bubble.

@brant999961 @TheDunkCentral @BrettSiegelNBA Teams don't win with him (fact) Teams will never win with him (fact)

Some Bucks players have reportedly lost confidence in Doc Rivers’ coaching style, per @BrettSiegelNBA “Nothing has gone right for the Bucks in quite some time, and while Doc Rivers is certainly not to blame for all of the organization's flaws, his 95-99 record since taking over in Milwaukee is extremely underwhelming. Not to mention, multiple sources relayed that there is a lack of confidence among several Bucks players in Rivers' style of coaching.” (Via clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-storie…)

@koller83 @TheDunkCentral @BrettSiegelNBA I’ve been sticking strictly to facts and stats the whole time. You’ve got nothing but baseless bias. So why don’t you actually break down the winning rationale you claim to have researched?

@brant999961 @TheDunkCentral @BrettSiegelNBA You should be embarrassed sticking up for that loser Go watch some basketball Spend some time figuring out how winning teams play Kpj shouldn't ever be discussed with winning basketball
