This is a weird move because I cannot tell if this is us going into tank mode OR some deranged move that the front office actually believes we just got better?

I guess it is the later because it doesn't help us Cap-wise.. he has 4 years remaining and Hibbert was on a 1 yr "Show Me" deal.. and Hawes was 2 yrs away from being gone.. I guess they figured Hibbert was damaged goods and couldn't put 2 games together..

Plumlee did have some pretty good years in Phoenix, but has been a complete ZERO with the Bucks.. maybe they are thinking he can revitalize his career here..

all i know is if this is it - our front office better start packing their bags come the end of the season..

How is getting rid of Roy Hibbert and Spencer Hawes going into tank mode, exactly?

i don't think it is.. i said it was probably the later thought that our FO thinks this is a good move - but i don't see this as us getting better.. I'm in a wait-and-see (sulk) mode

This trade seems like a bandaid move to me at first glance. Clearly Roy and Spencer don't fit us or really provide any positive impact to our roster. They definitely cannot adequately fill in for Zeller while he's out.

Miles Plumlee is athletic if anything and can rebound the ball with the best of them. Important traits. Not sure how he is with pick and roll offense though so I'll be interested to see that.

This move does leave us with 2 open roster spots so my guess is that this move is purely to set up another move that's forthcoming. We did need to do something as this team is reeling and the deadline is still 3 weeks out.

I'm not a fan of owing Miles $12.5 per over the next 3.5 seasons though.

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football
