Ok Rich Paul what do you got for us
Is that not the minimum we could give him? I’m surprised we would go above it. I’m assuming it’s the largest because the minimum contract for this pick goes up each year? Or because the “final pick” was 58 instead of 60
Damn we going in with the youth kinda nice to see
Is there a reasonable explanation for this
I see why Rich Paul was telling teams not to pick him now
4-year contract?
Why?
This means our roster is full once thanasis re-signs cuz he’s not going anywhere
NBA Roster: Khris, Giannis, Jrue, Grayson, Brook, BP, Jae, RoLo, Malik Beasley, Marjon, AJ Green, Pat, Livingston, AJJ, and Thanasis
2 ways: Wigginton, Omari Moore, and Gortman
Exhibit-10: Timme
I am probably in the minority but I am happy about this deal. I think Livingston at the bare minimum is a very good defensive player and can hit just enough 3’s to stay on the floor.
Has the ideal body of a big time wing defender/athleticism/pedigree that you want. He’s still iffy on the offensive end but that’s why he was available when he was.
Bucks need young guys to grow at the backend of the roster over old guys. This is a good deal. Good work from Horst.
Is Andre signed too ?
In the summer league so far, he’s been shit. Mannion, Fall, Timme and Jackson Jr. are more worthy keepers
Damn did we even give Mamu four years?
Has he looked good in summer league so far?
It’s only the largest deal for a final pick because Boston did IT dirty 🙁
Tradable contract
