The homer take is that he was our player left to guard so he got no gifts.

No PG (and he didn't step up), didn't hit open shots, and he couldn't guard anyone 1-5 on the Cs in the series. Pretty disappointing.

Yeah.  He is gifted offensively, but can be somewhat of a ball stopper (though he does make plays for others).  And as you said, he can't guard anyone.  He's a useful NBA player, but it's wild if he was really a non-negotiable for any true stars that were on the market.

It’s why the Hausers wouldn’t play with him

And can’t defend with Damian Lillard on the court.

I guess the Bucks crapped the bed?  It will be an interesting offseason.

They lost a road Playoff game without one of the 3 best players in the world available. Not sure that’d be my definition of crapping the bed.

Three postseasons in a row with major pieces missing for the Bucks.  Two of the three with Giannis down all or significant time.  This year being the worst with Dame down for two games also. 

Hopefully having Doc from training camp will make a big difference next year.  But significant injuries every postseason since their championship is incredibly frustrating.

Giannis has not been healthy which is a major concern.  But the truth is that team is significantly flawed and old.   I don't think their options are great moving forward.

Will Dame even be on the team next year?

I will be shocked if he is. Especially if Doc is the coach.

He never fit into the offense and his defense was at a Tre Young level.

The experiment was a failure.

They would be trading him for pennies on the dollar if they trade him now, after his worst season ever and getting older.

And you aren’t trading for picks when Giannis could ask out any moment.

There’s almost no chance at all he isn’t on the Bucks next year.

  if there are some personality issues between dame and the others, especially Giannis then no. 

I'm not sure what docs style is, but unless the players are all in, he could be another past coach on the payroll.  he's got a 58.8% winning record...not really a lot to brag about.  I hate to rip an MU guy as I have nothing against him except the fact that i've continually scratched my head as his choice to be a head coach or GM in the league.  he's a nice guy, but...

has any team had 3 past HC's on the payroll while paying another big bucks(no pun)?

they never should have gotten rid of jrue holiday

I would've tried to trade Middleton and some others for another stud, maybe dame, but NOT get rid of jrue.
