I would just like to say that I am extremely jealous of Milwaukee. The Bucks managed to take Giannis Antetokounmpo 15th overall in 2013 and took Malcolm Brogdon 36th last year.

In those two drafts, role player Rich Cho took Cody Zeller and traded a 1st for Marco Belinelli.

Sure, revisionist history is easy to play considering a number of teams passed on Giannis. Brogdon may not be a superstar, but he's going to be good for a long time. An NBA GM has two jobs in my opinion:

  • 1. Find a superstar.
  • 2. Build the team after finding the superstar.

It still burns me that Rich Cho's option was picked up. The Plumlee trade was a fireable offense. Role player Rich is not capable of finding a superstar. This goes back to 2011, where he took Bismack Biyombo over Kawhi Leonard and Jimmy Butler.

It is the job of the GM and his scouting staff to project how good a player can be, this front office has proven they cannot do it.

I'll still support the Hornets. End of rant.

Oh, it'll be Cavs and Warriors in the Finals.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
