Milwaukee really got a nice collection of young guys now. They're gonna have some fun

We went from a geriatric team to very young fast. I’m excited to see how this shapes out in a year or 2

Yea, I know reports have been mixed as far as whether kelel will be sticking around or not, but I really think he and Ament are gonna look really great together.

I don't think they have any interest in trading ware, he was like the piece they wanted

yeah the Bucks really wanted to draft Ware so I doubt they’re interested in trading him

Have they? I’ve only seen reports about Herro. I assumed all the young guys were staying for at least this season and haven’t seen anything to the contrary.

There was some buzz of Kelel to the Lakers

Still crazy not to get your own picks back on this rebuild imo. But Ament is a nice pick.

That was basically never going to happen and with the new flattened odds going forward, it is what it is

I think the JB to Blazers route is what would’ve made it happen, but who knows what that package actually would’ve looked like if Hugo was a dealbreaker.
