I'm at peace with it. I think it's probably best for both parties. I will be excited to be past the endless speculation.

He has a lot to do with the team being where they are over the last 8 years both good and bad. He is an all-time great and gave it his all. However, he also held the team to the fire on making win now moves at the expense of the future and rumors are he played a big role in the Griffin hire.

We got a championship so it's all worth it, but the Bucks have a steep hill in front of them.

At this point, trading him probably makes the most sense. I just don't trust the people doing it.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and his agent Alex Saratsis are having conversations with the Milwaukee Bucks about the two-time NBA MVP's future -- and discussing whether his best fit is staying or a move elsewhere, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.

A resolution to these talks is expected in the coming weeks, sources said, which will result in shaping whether Antetokounmpo is available ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline.


Going, Going, Gowne.

He wasn't terrible. He just wasn't a starting caliber center (which was the role he was forced into in 2017-18), but if he's your 10-15 mpg backup, he was perfectly adequate.

And to compare, any version of him from sophomore to senior year would be a 28-30 mpg starter on this team.

I know the Sheek situation is different, but thus far anybody this staff has redshirted has proven they're not just not ready, but not suited for this level, period.

Yeah. It's definitely not like it was 15-20 years ago.

Wouldn't be to hyped for the net 150 golden chickens coming to town if I were a Bucky boy

At the 5, we've had plenty of three star bigs (Gardner, Heldt, Otule, John) who were solid rotational pieces by their second/third years in the program. The problem is the growth. So far, these guys just haven't developed enough to contribute at the level needed based on the roster around them.

Heldt was terrible

Quote from: MUbiz on December 03, 2025, 11:49:29 AMI still cannot comprehend that in 5 years, Shaka has recruited one 4 star big man- Sheek. And Sheek will not play until year six.  That is roster malpractice. Not counting Oso as Oso was committed to MU pre Shaka.
