I am of the opinion that, in a vacuum, Jrue is better than Middleton. Middleton’s skill set fits better next to Giannis, though.Augustin and Portis are nice moves. The Bucks are definitely better than they were last year.If Donte stays healthy I think he’ll have a really nice year.
The legacy of Lew Alcindor leaving the Bucks still lives on as reflected by the Bucks trades and free agent moves.
Hornets have agreed to terms with Hayward.If he can stay healthy, he's a good player who will help the team at least in the near term. But he's always hurt, he's 30 and the team still seems several pieces away from contending for anything. The Hornets finally got out of Salary Cap Hell after several years of suckitude, so I'm not in love with committing $30M/year to Hayward. I hope he proves me wrong.
Plus, they had to stretch Batum to fit Hayward in. This turns into $39M per for the next 3 years. Yikes!
