Solid line up!

Lakers and Knicks seem to be striking out which is wonderful.

Plus those sick new jerseys and logo! Now when the Celtics get eliminated from the playoffs in round 1, I'll have a new team to root for. I love this assembly of players man.

Disappointed Monroe won't be going to NYC to play in the Triangle offense.

Knicks in major trouble now. Hard to see them piecing together a playoff team next year.

Wow, really surprised by this decision. To go to Milwaukee. They have some young guys but they are still in the early stages of their formation. You don't often see stars go to play with young guys who still have so much to prove.

Excited to see this new-looks Bucks team. They have a very interesting team dynamic now with an offensive center like Monroe and then 3 SFs in Middleton, Parker and Giannis. Gotta get that PG spot correct. Unsure whether MCW can handle the responsibility on his shoulders now. They need a creator there at PG.
We got plenty of PGs!!!!!  ;)

The Knicks failure continues!
yes, and dallas may be joining them soon.

great moves by the bucks. they have done a great job in a small market environment. FA to milwauke...as ever, the night life and weather were too good to resist.  ;D

I guess this does mean if the Knicks don't pull something together, Melo may definitely be on his way out or on the trade block.

Also I think MCW has a good potential to be a good PG/SG/SF wing defender at the point, and I think he can create plenty of shots especially with Jason Kidd being his head coach. Who else do you expect to see how to become a better facilitator than from one of the assist leaders in the NBA, as your head coach?

I'm much more excited to see that group grow together over the next 5-10 years than I would be to see Monroe hunting for looks alongside Melo.

They didn't tank. The year they got Jabari, they were supposed to be good and everyone got hurt. They actually signed free agents to make themselves better before the year.

DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

Very good move for the Bucks, will be interesting to see next year for sure. Another X mark for the big markets in this FA.

With Monroe in the fold I wonder if they would consider dealing Henson.
