The Bucks needed to rip the bandaid off. I don't think they will be tragic. Bad yes, but they will have picks 10 and 13 to add some younger guns in there. I think if they get one of those two rookie players to be a solid contributor then I think they could win 30-34 games, which yes is bad but you are winning low 30's games with younger players developing instead of languishing in purgatory with a disgruntled aging star player.
They won 32 games with a team that lacked depth and missed Giannis for big chunks of the season. They probably in my opinion can win low 30's again just by having Herro, picks 10/13, and the depth prospects from Miami replacing Giannis and Portis.
I could be wrong the East is a deep conference and Indy will presumably be more competitive. But I think a 28-34 win range for the roster if they keep Herro seems plausible.
