@Peter_Bukowski If this is it I hope they take Christen Miller and maybe the visit cancels out the lack of RAS
English
There just ... really aren't that many compelling options likely to be there at 52 for the Packers. At least, not based on what they're normally hoping to find.
If all the non-flagged guys above Chris Bell are gone ... who is the pick if they stick?
English
@BartWinklerShow As opposed to all those crappy big market teams with a high payroll, those are totally fine. What does market size have to do with this?
English
Still for the life of me can’t figure out why all of these kind of guys are so mean about it
NBA Base@TheNBABase
ESPN's Tim MacMahon says the Bucks MUST trade Giannis Antetokounmpo: “Giannis on a SuperMax makes zero sense for Milwaukee. If you’re going to be mediocre, don’t be expensive. You can’t be a crappy small-market team with a massive payroll. In the Bucks’ best interest, they need to trade Giannis.” (Via Hoop Collective)

@RossUglem Yeah that's what I figured you meant. All I'm saying is that it's a need, but not one they shpuld prioritize
English
If they spend a 2nd round pick on a Kitan Oladapo upgrade when they have two corners who can't play, no nose tackle, no sixth offensive lineman and no WR depth, I would be displeased.
gigs53202@gigs53202
@RossUglem Isn't there some concern about depth at nickel/safety? If one of the safeties gets hurt, Oladapo would have to step in at S/NB...assume that Haulcey is much better (not saying spend a 2 or 3 on that depth, but a spot they might need a guy is all i'm saying)

that’s not how you use a 2nd round pick IMO
BC@aonbc1
@RossUglem guys rotate in the league one guy out there on early down other out there on 3rd an long
English
@adamhmason @zacobson So he got better once he started getting more experience? Wow crazy insight
English
2025 was definitely a better year for Jordan Love.
Only took him 5 years to get there.
Only 3 dropped interceptions for Love last year.
He also went from being perennially one of the least accurate qb's in the league over his starting years, to an above average accurate QB.
Let's see if it sticks?
2024 through the start of his career was UGLY
English
Of quarterbacks with at least 300 dropbacks last season, only six had fewer turnover-worthy plays than Jordan Love, and three of them -- Michael Penix Jr., Mac Jones, and Tyler Shough -- weren’t even full-time starters. Please do not breed.
Adam Mason@adamhmason
@ImBearingDown1 Over the last two years, Jordan Love has benefited from the most dropped interceptions by opposing defenses. Let that sink in...
English
@GiannisTake @TCIIIESQ21 I get that but Horsts job is to get the best deal for the team not for Giannis. If he traded him for Kuminga and bad picks people would crap on him too. Giannis is the reason we’re being investigated. I love GA but his wanting to look like the good guy is at fault here too
English
@gigs53202 @TCIIIESQ21 That makes sense for the organization but unfortunately as a result we’re seeing this drama spill out. Would have just saved the headache, and now Bucks are being investigated.
English
???? The Bucks didn't force him to be injured yet again ...
𝐆𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐬 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞@GiannisTake
Bucks Organization is a complete joke. It needs to be said. The way they’ve navigated this whole ordeal is laughable. YOU sold Giannis on staying this season and he already lost a bag and now you wanna fuck him over some more? Despicable.
English
@GiannisTake @TCIIIESQ21 The warriors and timberwolves had bad offers. Why limit yourself at the deadline when more teams could be in the running over the summer and rosters are easier to reset?
English
How is not picking up half the calls at the deadline “getting the best deal possible”?
The Warriors and Timberwolves felt Horst wasn’t serious about trading Giannis and they stated that publicly.
Heat were a serious option but Horst again declined it.
Seems to me he was never really going to trade Giannis and used it as leverage, which has now backfired
English
@RossUglem Of the possible DT options I know you like Miller. After that who would you prefer? I like Orange but DJJ would be good too. Any preference?
English
Chris Johnson. Been my answer for more than a month. Chris Johnson is the answer.
Jakobi@northernjakobi
@RossUglem Dream scenario; including trades or crazy falls who would you hand pick from this class to go to GB
English
@nfwtxtn @ThisAintJosiah All I’ll say is this is the first regular season he’s been hurt quite a bit. Playoffs yes. But saying he’s approaching Embiid level injury is a huge exaggeration
English
@ThisAintJosiah but Giannis is not the answer. He's quickly approaching Embiid status with how unavailable he's getting these few years, and its even worse in the playoffs.
Then adding his age to things, the only way we can make a Giannis move is if we're set up like the Raptors Kawhi setup
English
@TiWindisch Tanking has existed forever I don’t understand the furor this year. Also, spoiler alert…some teams just suck!
English
All of these ideas are overcomplicated gibberish. Make a pick protection rule, firm up the rules about sitting healthy players to lose on purpose, and let teams do what they want to build their cores within the rules.
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
The NBA presented three comprehensive anti-tanking concepts to its Board of Governors on Wednesday, with modifications expected to each before a formal vote in May, per ESPN sources. 1. 18 teams in draft lottery (seeds 7-15 in each conference) – flattened odds, with bottom 10 teams having an 8% chance, the remaining 20% odds distributed in decreasing order for 11 through 18, and and a lottery drawing for all 18 picks. 2) 22 teams in lottery using 2-year record (seeds 7-15, plus the four playoff first round exits in both conferences). Lottery teams would reach a minimum win total floor in each season, such as 25 wins. If a team falls short of the floor, it gets slotted to meet the floor. Top 4 drawn as part of lottery, as is currently. 3) 18 teams in a "5 by 5" lottery – bottom 5 teams have equal odds for the top pick, with lottery formed for picks 1-5. Bottom 5 teams have a floor at 10; those that fall out of top 5 get sorted in a separate drawing.
English
@Wiscodsin He’s bad. Keeping him over a much more helpful player would be bad. They never should have signed him in the first place.
English
HAHAHAHAHAHA. fuck you, B*cks. Y’all are such an embarrassment.
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
Bucks GM Jon Horst sold Thomas as a key part of the team's contention ability this season and the future after the team signed him post-trade deadline, while Doc Rivers compared Thomas to Lou Williams and Jamal Crawford after just two games. Now he's waived.
English
@ShamsCharania Man Shams sure hates the Bucks lol. Just type “how can I try to make the Bucks look like shit” into ChatGPT and it forms Shams tweets for him. This guy got cut by the freaking Nets this shouldn’t be shocking lol

Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
The Milwaukee Bucks are waiving Cam Thomas just weeks after signing him, sources tell ESPN.
English
@RossUglem That said, they never drafted huge linemen (until Belton), small WR (Reed, Golden) or older prospects (Wyatt). This isn't to say you're wrong, but would you say they're more open to expanding their original thresholds than before?
English
people were lied to about maxwell hairston
not by me
but by people
Jacob Morley@JacobMorley
@RossUglem Which made the Maxwell Hairston stuff so weird last year.
English
@factsonfactspod @GiannisOwnsYou3 @one4ghost Saying he won a fluke title that was due to injuries is the definition of not giving him credit.
English
@gigs53202 @GiannisOwnsYou3 @one4ghost Where did I say he deserves no credit? I praised Giannis during the time and was even calling him the best player in the world, I was wrong. He played great in that run, but it was 5 yrs ago and his only great playoff run of his career.
English
@factsonfactspod @GiannisOwnsYou3 @one4ghost So Giannis gets no credit for winning due to injuries, but gets full blame for losing even though those bucks teams suffered major injuries (Midd, Dame, Giannis)? Sound logic
English
@gigs53202 @GiannisOwnsYou3 @one4ghost Lol what has he won since? 1 or 2 series?? Time to realize that year was a fluke, you won’t ever get to play a team with Trae Young as its best player (and even he was hurt) to go to the finals again. Giannis has never eliminated a great team, was lucky BKN was hurt that year.
English
@JLewis562 @one4ghost @Iknowball13 Careful now, applying extremely sound logic isn’t allowed here lol
English
@one4ghost @Iknowball13 Can’t call Giannis ring an “injury ring” and gloss over the fact that since he won his team has had significant injuries. That’s a contradiction.
English
@factsonfactspod @GiannisOwnsYou3 @one4ghost Any of these fans teams won that 2021 title and suddenly that ring matters. IDGAF, Giannis and the Bucks won, ya’ll didn’t.
English
@GiannisOwnsYou3 @one4ghost Which one of those guys won a championship in a Covid season with no fans?? Giannis best playoff run happened with no fans
English
He Just compared a Jayden Reed and 2nd round pick package to a Micah, Love and Kraft trade package and yall want me to take ReedFC seriously
Andy Herman@AndyHermanNFL
Steelers receive: Love, Micah & Kraft Packers receive: Darnell Savage There it’s settled brian. Send it over.
English
@DeanDealer_10 @flasportsbuzz Right got it. So when I pointed out that he quite literally leverages his gravity you change the argument to say it isn’t a skill set. Will be the first player in the HOF with zero skill I guess.
English
@gigs53202 @flasportsbuzz That’s quite literally all he does. I said he really doesn’t have a skill set and relies on athleticism and size and your argument is that he can draw multiple defenders and pass to an open shooter lol. That’s not really a skill set.
English
So the Milwaukee Bucks, wanting to enhance lottery chances and protect an asset, want to shut down Giannis and he's refusing, as The Athletic and ESPN reported in past 30 minutes. What is keeping him from simply saying the words "It's best we go our separate ways and in trade talks, please convey that I would only sign an extension with teams, X, Y, Z"?
A year of all this nonsense because he can't bring himself to that, which is admirable in some ways, I suppose. Heat will keep trying to acquire him this summer.
