They should just be bad, but talented. Start Rollins, herro, burries, ament and Turner. Will you rebound? No. But like Kuzma doesn’t either. Run a jacquez, AJ, Kpj 2nd unit with ware.

Not good! Cleveland just doesn't have any picks to move, which is the only reason I didn't include them. like, you could get yourself a swap in 30/32 but that's about it.

and it's not like... super outside the realm of possibility right? Derrick White is hit by a car, the combo of untouchable (Hugu/Baylor) guys can't score. you can't just trot out Payton Pritchard for 45 minutes a game! Mike Conley is 75! Like all of these aren't particularly unlikely.

The thing with KPJ is he is one heater and injury away from being an actual valuable trade commodity. He smells like a playoff team panic button guy where you could even get a first this year for him from like… I don’t know Boston?

I'd honestly be playing Rollins/Herro/Jacquez/Ament/Turner first unit, w/ Burries/Trent/Dieng/Sims/Ware 2nd unit.

At this point, you've made worse bad moves. Like, it's over, move on.

Ament should have every single Kuzma minute.

And I full on defended him at this point last year... it was a mistake.

Turner, honestly is a fantastic fit there. He can play with Queen and Zion who can't play together, he can basically unlock them positionally in a way that Brook Lopez did for the bucks. I'd take Missi and Poole's broken ass for him and I don't know... Lavert?

Kuzma is somehow being a less useful basketball player in different ways every day. It's so weird how negative he is.

George Gillis - Fire Horst @gjsquared.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
I'd rather Roster Broome than Lavert, Kuzma, KPJ or Bogi. honestly.

George Gillis - Fire Horst @gjsquared.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Sims is honestly the perfect Ware pair stylistically. Broome/Nance could be too.

George Gillis - Fire Horst @gjsquared.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Ament was better than expected he remains to me a tweener 3/4 until more muscle mass Burries was fine Cons: Kuzma sucks. KPJ can’t change his spots. Someone thinks there’s latent kuzma value and they are wrong. I don’t trust Jon to make the final roster decisions and they should fire his ass

Sporadic Bucks Hopium preseason game 1: Hope: Jenkins is trying to figure out what nba players he has and is gonna look at this preseason to decide which guys he wants. Gary Trent looked better than he did all of last year. Rollins is that guy Ware was productive, he needs an actual 4 tho

George Gillis - Fire Horst @gjsquared.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
I feel like my current prior is you have to be a superhero to have positive minutes while Kyle kuzma is on the court with you. His sucking sound makes everyone worse

I feel like piggybacking Drohan off of May then bullpenning it is where you are looking. Then depending on where the series is, maybe you go Gasser in 4 to make sure everyone has some rest.

In my brain, I'm betting they try to get 3 out of him, then a heavy run of the lefties.

Just a real how is this happening guy.

George Gillis - Fire Horst @gjsquared.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I hope that Turner is... good adjacent? I hope for him the absolute fuckshow of that locker room and it being cleansed a little means he'll be something.

George Gillis - Fire Horst @gjsquared.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I just thought he could be a generally useful backup 4, and he... he wasn't. I'm worried about Turner being a complete negative asset by the trade deadline as well.

If the prediction market's aren't someplace where the house always wins, how are they making endless money enough to sponsor so many things?

The Dem consultant class opinioned endlessly about finding the new Joe Rogan, when what the world actually needed was the first Pablo Torre.

That's enough money to never have to care about politics ever again in my whole life. That's owning an Island ass money. If I had that type of disposable income I'd be chilling in my billionaire bunker being served by my butler.

Listen if I had 73 million dollars of disposable income to spend on Tom Tiffany you mother fuckers would never hear from me or see me again.

I think JJJ is a real nba player, I think he is a starting 3 in some lineups. It's just not in the lineup with Kyle Kuzma. If you are going to start JJJ you need to surround him with actual shooters.

Just asked Victor Wembanyama if he’d ever consider promoting a sports betting company. “Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. .. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me.”

I'm not scared of this version of the padres. I'm not scared of whatever comes out of Philly/Atlanta. I remain terrified of the dodgers.

My rotation would predominantly be Jacquez on the court anytime Turner isn't. Jacquez seems like a whole ass adult, and I think there's a vet presence there that will be helpful

I see the Watertown school board is at it again. These people are absolutely terrible.

In the short term for finances, gives them a ton of additional flexiblity this year especially if the no longer believe in him

Until we hear from Detroit that they are actually taking offers, I think it's all smoke from the agent. I'll say, him taking the QO from Detroit is like a huge win for Detroit even if he ends up walking after next year.

Philosopher King Kuzma is a bad thing, but like if Myles Turner is shitting on him and it’s bringing the team together- maybe that’s good?

Analytically his best year is such an odd bad question.

I'm not gonna lie, maybe it's my inherent biases, but he looks so much bigger than senior year.

No Kuzma yet... He has to be the closer right?

Give me a starting lineup of Rollins, Herro, Trent, Kuzma and Turner or give me death.

It's pretty clear that spot 3 and 4 were "Trying to beat the allegations" guys.

Then trying to sneak in Porter Jr. and Trent, two guys they've... got. Before going to the Heat trade guys.

The only thing I find interesting in Media day is the people the Bucks sent out to talk and what that means for roster Construction and what the front office thinks. Turner/Rollins first sets the tone that Turner is the Vet leader and Rollins is the Captain.

Elite shooter, doc rivers didn’t know what to do with him clearly. This is a doc problem

That said, the Warriors should want that. Turner is actually a positional fit for them schematically, he would prosper in that system with those guys.

George Gillis - Fire Horst @gjsquared.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
JK, the only way that works really is if they trade us Jimmy Butler's bum leg. Would do Turner/Kuzma for Jimmy Butler's torn ACL though.
