anybody who is still a bucks fan after watching this playoff run has to have some kind of self harm thing going on. every time they run a half court offense i feel like throwing up.

the bucks should be relegated and budenholzer should be put on trial for crimes against basketball

i used to like some of their players, but this season has made me hate all of them. they somehow managed to collect every single thing i didnt like about 2017 okc and cranked em to 11.

turns out there IS something worse than watching Westbrook bring up the ball, pound it twice, and brick a 3 pointer at the top of the key with 20 seconds left on the shot clock. its watching giannis do the exact same thing, but worse. and every time i turn on a bucks playoff game he immediately does it.

Say what you will but they're still doing a lot better than most of the league and could still end up in the finals

You know what? This is exactly it for me too. I'm a thunder homer, and the team we've had for the past two seasons has been more fun to watch than any other going back to 2012

I’m trying to find out lol

that would be a bad sign if it were green

remember before the season when Danny green said he was gonna convince Simmons to shoot threes? lol

this team will likely never win a playoff series with doc rivers as coach, so i don't know if it even matters if they trade Simmons. it blows my mind that people think he's a better coach than Brett was

I like watching Khris Middleton and Giannis play and I wish they played for a better team. At least Trae Young is entertaining to watch.

My friend, you do not understand Wisconsin sports. We know we will be let down, the fun part is the new way that the teams manage to disappoint us.

Morey met with Rich Paul in chicago to discuss Simmons future. No trade demand was made. Simmons willing to work with sixers this summer directly. Sixers at this time moving forward with Simmons.

this is good. I don't think there's a Simmons-based trade out there this summer that would make the Sixers better.

Demanding a trade would be absolutely hilarious. Trades are only being talked about because of his awful performance in the playoffs, not because the rest of the team underperformed around him.

Seems like the team is saying the right things, keeping open that they might bring him back to keep his value up, and hedging against not receiving an offer they think is good enough.

also Rivers said he didn’t know if a team with Ben Simmons on it could win a championship so his value is kinda tanked at the moment. both sides have no choice but to wait

His trade value is the same it was. No one learned anything new about ben Simmons. He is good to great in the regular season and can win you a lot of regular season games. he stinks in the playoffs. We knew this 4 years ago. Or three.

i don't think he's actually said this since his rookie year. two years ago during training camp they were supposedly playing him exclusively at PF (e: my memory is bad, this was actually last year in the bubble when Shake was starting)

Maxey will likely be the "PG" next season
