    maybe we need a coach who will take the ball out of his hands or sit his a** on the bench?

    Is Phil too old? Becuz Lebron is too old to play elite PG day in and day out.

    LeBron sees how Middleton does all the dirty work and still defers to Giannis...i have Middleton on my team and although his production isn't what it is in past years, i can see how he would fit well on our squad

    I don't think Middleton leaves Milwaukee or Kemba leaves Charlotte.

    Milw has choices to make tho...Brogdon, Middleton and Bledsoe are all up for new contracts this off-season....not sure if Brook has leverage over them but he might with the way he's played and how much better Bucks have gotten with him there. Bucks can't afford ALL of them IMO and Middleton might be the most expensive out of all 4 guys.

    Agree, but I think they'll pay him.

    If the Lakers sign a 2nd tier guy in FA (if Davis doesn't come in the summer), I think they'll go after a Vucevic.

    He fits the mold of a stretch 5 the FO has been after...IMO

    Guessing mil loses either Bledsoe or brogdon. Wouldn't surprise me if a team with a ton of space pursued both with high offers to force mil's hand. Could totally see Dallas doing this.

    Bledsoe is repped by Klutch. If we strike out, might be another option for us...

    Good fit, too. Would need to be big money, 3 yrs with team option on the third or partial guarantee.

    Hope it doesn't go that way, though.

    If I'm Dall i'm throwing BAGS at Randle....Imagine Randle wrecking havoc inside with Zingis at the 3pt line with Luka setting everything up.

    Think they’d try and keep Brogdon and Middleton.

    people thought they'd throw cash at him last summer, and it didn't happen. i wonder if he's their type of player. he's not a high hoop iq guy, and carlisle doesn't love that.

    Bucks extend Bledsoe, 4 years - $70mil. Guess I was wrong.

    If we strike out on the big names, rather than Middleton, I would love to lock up Malcolm Brogdon. This dude is a baller. I know he came into the league late, but a third year player having a 50/40/90 season while putting up 16 points a game on the team with the best record in the league is unheard of.

    He's RFA with a 3m caphold...so I think Bucks would match if crazy money isn't thrown his way.

    We might just have crazy money when no one comes. I'd like him at SG next to Ball. A huge improvement of KCTrash.

    this whole mentality that we’ve got to get a Top Five guy or nothing is part of what’s held us back for a while in my opinion. We’ve got to start building an actual team with real players with talent. Guys like Walker, Middleton, etc would be helping us out a ton right now.

    Hopefully we get one of those big targets and this is all moot but still.
