This is a real problem the NBA has to address. They want a hard cap where leading talent is on cheap rookie deals. Can’t have it both ways.

From Giannis last night. Would welcome a bunch of roster turnover if there’s this level of selfish play. Whoever it is can go (I suspect a couple of the guards)

This is beyond messed up from the Pacers. Do they really think their own players don’t notice this? Try getting them to take a discount or a team option year now. It’s wild how much they’re carrying water when the FO screwed it up offering him 3/66 when he went and got 4/107

Could not have asked for a better book launch. Thank you to readers who SHOWED UP. Boswell ran out of copies! (Don’t worry; restocked) Thank you to @jordantreske.bsky.social, Patrick Mullen, and Jim Kearney for being part of a magical night. And Bucks have been undefeated since, so…

Remembering Brewer Guys Never forget Jose Hernandez made the all-star team and the same year was one strikeout short of the single-season record (Manager kept him out of the last few games so he wouldn't break it)

Y'all. CHARLIE freaking BERENS really liked my book 😇 “IN THE ROOM AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD finds the humor, joy and grit of the Midwest, but the soul of the book will hit any heart away from home.”

There’s a lot I love about my upcoming book, but almost nothing as much as @parkerbs.bsky.social doing the interior art 😍 Bespoke breweries, beers, and coasters for each series in the 2021 Bucks title run. So freaking cool

Not an endorsement of Jonathan Isaac the person, but if the goal is to duck the apron and Bucks are having the Kuzma convo, this may make sense. Magic have an AWFUL half-court offense Khris can help. Isaac is a mobile big with injury questions. Ducks the apron

000

Ben McCormick @caseofthebens.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

Magic just lost to the Utah Jazz, putting up 99 points with 30 free throws and under 35% from the field and have been bottom-of-the-league half-court offense in 2025. Weird for rivals to help each other, but would the Bucks be interested in bringing in KCP (Houstan waived)?

Ben McCormick @caseofthebens.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

BUCKS MOCK TRADE 4 A non-Jimmy/LaVine big deal: If the Bucks want to get younger and more athletic without sacrificing offensive firepower, this is one way. Jazz would likely move pieces elsewhere for more assets. Risky considering Collins is smaller than Bobby and would need another big.

310

Ben McCormick @caseofthebens.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

Bucks want to upgrade the top of the roster, but these no-Bobby games are show why they need to add a big not subtract one via trade. This threads the needle Spurs likely ask for AJJ first, and Bucks may have to manufacture another SRP, but this is effective on the edges. Athletic, young rim runner

Ben McCormick @caseofthebens.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

Bucks Mock Trade 2: Time to ask the Pacers about Myles Turner as the long-term Brook replacement. He's had a down-ish year, Pacers are over cap next year before paying him, and paying him guarantees the tax. Pacers can duck the tax with Brook at similar (in some ways better) output. Just older.

100

Ben McCormick @caseofthebens.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Mock Bucks trade 1: Bucks: a real defensive backup big. Clippers reason: their half-court offense has been Bad, defense great, and Nic Batum is their backup 5. Easy fit. Blazers: get expiring salary to make next season less expensive plus solid pick haul.

130

Ben McCormick @caseofthebens.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

I can squint at NBA players and find value for the Bucks but I can't let go of what @netw3rk.bsky.social mentioned about Beal on Six Trophies: In 2022, the Clippers rallied from 35 down to beat the Wiz, and Beal complained he couldn't stay out of the game. Loser behavior! Don't want him on my team!
