I don't expect TyTy to become an absolutely elite catch and shoot guy out of nowhere, but he could the PnR operator we need.Īlso, I think it's foolish to continue trying Jrue as a primary ballhandler if we're going to have him just go man mode vs the hardest defensive matchup all postseason. It sounds absolutely crazy to say something like that about Washington Jr who hasn't been great and is super young, but the pieces are there and hopefully with a much better team and a clearly defined role he could take a Tyrese Maxey kind of leap. Obviously I'd love for a big trade for Dame or something to materialize but I don't see it. Honestly I feel like this team's true chances are going to come down to TyTy Washington emerging as a big min option at guard that lets us shift Jrue to the 2 in lineups with our best guys. Bucks get younger and get assets if they are willing to break up core. There are teams that might be looking to level up, mentions Orlando and OKC. But trade a core piece where? Houston has a million picks. Trade Khris when you can? Call Houston about Lopez? She thinks Bucks would find value for any of them. Internally they'll have clarity on Jrue's extension and intentions. Ramona wonders if the Bucks trade some of the core. Zach thinks the Bucks are going to be very active to try and make a better and deeper run this year. Zach said although he'd not be worth the package but the kind of legit PG we are missing, Tyus Jones. Deandre Hunter “if Hawks want to get off that contract.' Others we've talked about more here include Bojan, DFS and Norm Powell. Zach says he thinks the team might just want to maximize talent, and that’s why the Bucks “kicked the tires on John Collins”, which might be the first I’ve heard of that. Ramona mentions Bucks need help in backcourt. Bucks picks are now dramatically more valuable than before, including the 2029 first our 2030 first that we can trade which will be “very very valuable.” Bobby, Pat and Allen all are good too (Grayson's expiring more valuable in 2nd apron era as well).

Lot of Bucks and Giannis discussion early on in Zach Lowe's pod with Ramona Shelburne, some parts that caught my attention:
