Maybe I missed the convo, but how do you guys feel about the Bogut/Ellis swap?
I’m not Monta’s biggest fan - he has a pretty similar game to Brandon Jennings and you only need one of those guys, plus they are both small and will get torched on D - but given Bogut’s recent injury history, it might be a good thing for the Bucks to get someone of value for him while they can.
I still like GSW’s side better. If healthy Bogut is a top-3 C. Also, with him being out this year, trading Ellis will lose them a bunch of games and possibly move them into the high lottery in a loaded draft. Awesome pick plus Bogut starting next year might be money.
I’m not a fan of volume shooters in general and now their backcourt is comprised of two of them. You can’t win or build with that backcourt. Both those guys take way too many shots. As well as you mentioned they can’t play defense well due to a lack of size. Not a fan of the trade for MIL. For GS will just have to wait and see.
They got an average serviceable PG and a backup’s backup C. They still have no scoring off the bench and the SF situation is still horrible. The Lakers hype is unbearable sometimes, I’m surprised we don’t hear about every shit Kobe takes.

In my opinion this was the only move that possibly changes the complexion of the contender debate. Spurs as always are quietly playing some of the best BBall in the league, if S Jax can shut the hell up and play he can put them over the edge.

Yeah I know but the Lakers got rid of Luke Walton. Finally! I think me and Laker fans agree when I say that guy is the biggest piggy-back player in NBA history.

From the guy who said Lin was a top-5 PG and perennial all star? Seriously?
