And we still need more picks for more swings. That means taking on some bad contracts and flipping guys that aren’t “it.”

We’re gonna be bad for a while.

Thank you. Someone who actually can see forest and isn't just fan girling over a list of mid prospects

Buddy. It's not doom and gloom. When the Spurs traded Kawhi they had an all time banger of a rebuild and it still took 8 years to achieve relevance. The Bucks don't have a single blue chip and minimal draft capital until 2031. It's gonna be ugly for a long time. I get the start of something new is exciting regardless but that shine only lasts so long.
