The Giannis piece in the MJS has a very Buzz's Bunch feel to it to me.

Cooper Flagg is the first teenager with 3 consecutive 30+ point games. I'm honestly surprised LeBron never did this.

I'm not fan of the President but this is weird stuff for a basketball forum. Just follow the rules. There are a million sites to vent on, so let's just talk hoops.

I know lots of CEO's even the aholes at Blackstone

I said CEO....

Quote from: Newsdreams on February 03, 2026, 09:09:03 PMNope, CEOs is more posturing, I mean I helped take down who is currently the country's CEO in the 90's and he got rehabilitated by a fake "reality" show and book.....

What??

It will be anyway if Horst is making the calls. He'll get fleeced in any trade involving Giannis. Saw a list of the 50 worst trades in NBA history. Milwaukee is well represented and Horst is already got one. He'll soon have another.

The biggest problem I see is this team needs a general manager. This staff has a model that really doesn't allow for recruiting misses & they missed on an entire class and positional group. They've had some hits too, but need to be at an 80% hit rate for this to work.

If they're going to the portal, someone needs to be identifying transfer targets early, evaluating fit, and scouring every level during the season while the staff is busy worrying about season results.

Whether they like it or not, they're a professional organization now. Time to start acting like it.

Thanks Mark.  Another one impressed by Webb.
