Great signing by the Bucks. Greg Monroe was netted with a max offer.
 
New ownership threatened to relocate the franchise to either Seattle or Las Vegas is new arena deal is not improved.
 
According to senator Lena Taylor, the arena deal is done, the Bucks arena plan will pass senate tomorrow. This is good news for Milwaukee Bucks fans.

Not only for Bucks fans but for Milwaukee in general. A state of the art arena, when done well, can be a major asset to any city's downtown. The franchises in Milwaukee, Orlando, and Sacramento may be paying now -or within the past 5 years in Orlando's case- because they didn't pay enough the first time around in the late 80s-early 90s but the amount of talent the three franchises have now combined with the way franchises are building up arena districts in a smarter way these days could really make all three cities benefit in the long run from having to build new arenas now. I really like Milwaukee's plans for their downtown and the way such a young, talented roster will feed into that and build excitement. The only thing I would honestly be more happy about would be the Pistons and my Sixers finally building arenas downtown where they belong.
 
Apparently OJ Mayo fell down his stairs and is severely injured and is out for the remaining games of the Bucks.
 
Bucks signed Aussie champ Matthew Dellavedova on a four year deal where the latter finally got the payday he wanted amd unlikely to get in Cleveland.

Also signed fresh is Mirza Teletovic and this team has just gotten taller.
 
The Bucks have had sn Australian connection for a awhile now, which is why I have a soft spot for them. But delly is massively underrated, great pickup, thon is awesome too, I'm tipping a finals spot.

Always been a fan of Delly and I hope he gets to breakout this season. In the Olympics, Delly strikes me as a player who keeps surprising me when the game calls for it. He has underrated playmaking skills and he just find ways to score; from those tough fallaway jumpers and that emerging baby hook.

Just shows he's a good buy, he will lead the bucks in assists, he had no dramas consistently opening up team USA defence

I think they're working for Giannis to have a Lebron-type facilitating role. Won't necessarily be defending to be defended against by other PGs. Makes sense to start Delly,but I doubt if he's going to lead the Bucks on assists.His number will be close to Giannis,more or less.Bucks can't play bbal with a ball-hog PG(not saying that Delly is one ofc) and having Giannis sitting in the corner waiting for the ball,like they were doing with him until MCW got injured.That's why they refused Timberwolves' proposal trade,to give Middleton and take Rubio.

I agree. Having Antetokoumpo wait around the wings for an open shot is a waste of his skills and given that his three point shot is not yet developed to be a threat consistently, having him being an active point forward will help the team facilitate its swing offense.

This team has grown taller and having Giannis / MCW and Delly run through pick and rolls with all these tall players will create opportunities.

The immediate concern for a team stacking a lot of front-court players is offense stagnation. I can see this team trading MCW sometime in the future.

As for Dellavedova, I see him filling up the stat sheet nicely, but not put up big numbers. He may lead the team in player efficiency, but I don't see him leading the team in scoring nor assists. Happy to be proven wrong by Delly in the assists numbers though.
 
Khris is back but Parker is out now
We own the future but the future won't come
 
This is the absolute worst time for Parker to get injured. When he was drafted, there were still very few 6'8"+ small forwards or even combo forwards. Now there's guys who are more athletic than him like TJ Warren to name just one, and in this draft alone there's Miles Bridges, Jayson Tatum, Johnathan Issacs, and even more. What set him apart was always his incredible feel for the game similar to Jahlil Okafor but he's not a rookie anymore. Guys have caught up, and times have changed.

This is a huge opportunity for another player though, and I would bet it's Tony Snell.

Turns out I was right, as Snell emerged as a genuine two-way player and that partially fueled the Bucks to almost upset the heavily-favored Raptors in the playoffs.

Now Parker will be a RFA and if healthy could easily become the best offensive player on most teams.

However, his lack of defense could potentially cost him the same way it did Shabazz Muhammad this offseason.
 
Bucks sign 2016 Jazz draft pick Joel Bolomboy to a two-way contract. This could turn out to be a steal.
