That's a rebuild right there.


MCW - Middleton - Giannis - Parker - Monroe


Somebody deserves Executive of the Year. 

Excited to see how this team plays out.  One of my favorite starting lineups in the league.

Wow, I might actually watch some more Bucks games this year.  Nice addition to a promising young roster.

That Bucks team is really nice.  Super jealous.

You want to talk about being jealous of the Sixers?  I'm jealous of the Bucks.

Tanked for one season, got the right guy after making a great pick in the draft before that.  Picked up a steal in the Jennings trade with Middleton.

MCW is not my cup of tea, but he might be a great get for them, too.  And Kidd looks like a rising star as a coach after a so-so first year.

It could be worse. We could be Knicks fans ...

But hey, they have a superstar! They must be better off than us!

I wouldn't give out an EotY award yet, but this team is gonna be a LOT of fun to watch next season

My only question would be how well MCW will be able to do with Monroe down low, but with Parker, the Greek Freak, and Middleton spreading the floor, I don't think it will be an issue
I'm bitter.

Does Monroe have the mobility to be effective in Kidd's defensive scheme? He'll have to hedge, double, help and recover a lot. Not sure how well he'll handle it.

Still, the offensive boost will be appreciated.

It's too bad that they have so much money tied up with Sanders, but with the cap jumps it might not even matter.  They look [dang] good right now, Kidd has really impressed me
I'm bitter.

I love that Bucks team.

Really hard to decide if I'm mostly bitter that the Celts can't have their rebuild go like that, or just excited to see that team play.

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.

That Bucks team is naughty.  Any chance they can still end up in Seattle?  I live there... I wouldn't mind watching that team for the next decade.
