GTJ would purely be a follow through on a wink-wink from last summer coming back to bite them (eg to not screw up the relationship with Klutch). I don’t see any way they would sign him otherwise. But I don’t see them signing Kuminga either.

They could offer him the full MLE ($15m) which I would guess might be the top of his market, but I don’t think they are signing him regardless. Definitely wouldn’t give up anything of value or blow their trade exception for him.

Updated Bucks cap sheet including Dieng (structure to be confirmed) and Marković. • $32m under the tax with 17 contracts • Still have MLE/BAE/TPE but I’d guess they don’t sign anyone using MLE/BAE (e.g. no Kuminga). Can use as TPE later. • GTJ’s fate the biggest ?

My best guess for next month: Bucks tell GA he’ll get $275m extension in Oct. GA asks how they’re going to contend. Bucks say they’ll explore all options but no promises. GA says he will wait until Oct. Bucks take that as a non-committal and trade him before draft. GA says he never asked for trade.

Nance might be my biggest Vegas Bucks winner so far. Just a really solid offensive big who can run DHOs, hit an open three, and make solid decisions. Can only hope Tyler Smith and Bogi can figure out a similar level of…competence.

Frank Madden @fmaddennba.bsky.social · 06/07/2025

1) Rollins should be #1 priority 2) Skeptical of CP3 given history w/Giannis 3) Would roll dice on Beal but expect he’d prefer other teams 4) Trey Murphy is the one guy I’d be excited to use 2031 first/2032 swap on but I doubt Pels trade him 5) Would consider Kuminga S&T but not for much beyond Kuz

GTJ and AJ being the Bucks’ two best shooting guards yet combining for only 16 starts remains the weirdest rotation decision of the season, so it was great to see Gary light it up as a starter and AJ hit big shots and do all the little stuff on both ends.

Frank Madden @fmaddennba.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

Now 3 straight years scoring 30+ ppg for Giannis — and 7 straight years he’s scored over 30 pts/36 minutes. The most ever…and it’s not close. Jordan did it 4x. No one else has done it more than 3x. Even Wilt only did it twice. Kobe once. LeBron & KD have never done it.

Another masterclass performance tonight means Giannis has likely finished off another incredible regular season: • 30.4 ppg • 11.9 rpg • 6.5 apg (career-high) • 60.1% FG • Lowest TO rate since 16/17 • Lowest foul rate since 13/14 Never take this dude’s greatness for granted!

Guessing you’re not using the NBA’s stats since they have Braun 4th in total points (Giannis +49) and well behind Giannis in pts/game (Giannis 7.9 pts game and Braun 5.9).

On the one hand starting your backup 3 at the 2 (Prince) and your backup 4 at the 3 (Kuz) causes all sorts of staggering challenges. On the other hand, going the Jumbo Bucks route is a tactic worth trying. If you can’t be athletic you might as well be big.

Frank Madden @fmaddennba.bsky.social · 15/02/2025

Kuz starting at the 3 seems inevitable so Bucks probably just have to embrace trying to be bullies again up front — AJax lineups have been uniformly bad, so go back to GTJ or AJ Green at the 2 and use AJax as a situational bench guy.

060

Frank Madden @fmaddennba.bsky.social · 15/02/2025

Kuz can make Giannis-at-5 lineups more workable defensively given he’s bigger/more athletic than any other Bucks non-center, but with smallish guards I think that’s likely a losing battle except in very specific situations. 2021 worked b/c Jrue/PJ were switchable next to Giannis.

250

Frank Madden @fmaddennba.bsky.social · 15/02/2025

Teams generally need to either be big (limit 2nd chances, protect rim) or athletic (defend POA, force turnovers, close out on perimeter) to defend at a high(ish) level. Bucks’ success defensively Nov-Dec was mostly from doing the former with just enough of latter.

130

Frank Madden @fmaddennba.bsky.social · 15/02/2025

I don’t think Kuz is a particularly good fit with Giannis in a general sense, but I wonder if the most useful aspect of the trade is less the smallball potential and more that the Bucks can just go really big/mobile at the 3/4 to cover their lack of guard size/athleticism. 🧵

Frank Madden @fmaddennba.bsky.social · 15/02/2025

Yeah I subscribed to Fubo a couple years ago during the summer and it didn’t even occur to me that they wouldn’t have TNT (seems like the most basic cable channel), so I had to subscribe to the B/R thing on Max later that year when the NBA season started.
