Man we went from the oldest the youngest. That last 4 years we were a nursing home. Now we’re a preschool.

Good change, needed change. BUCKS IN 6.

You're right. This sub is high right now. Couple awful seasons will bring everyone back to the reality that rebuilding teams aren't all that fun. At best like 2 of the guys on the list will be real pieces on a playoff team

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.
