Are the Bucks trading Brook Lopez to the LAKERS?
so we’re 2 and a half hours in the free agency and so far the Bucks haven’t done a thing as haven’t most of the league I think for most of the league it’s just they’re waiting on the top guy to kind of fall into place so that way they know whether they should be going for a star if they have a chance to get like a Paul George or if they have to pay a role player and I think the Bucks especially haven’t made any moves yet because of that where they are not really able to pay anybody so the guys that they do get are probably going to be guys that missed out weren’t able to get bigger offers from elsewhere and are going to have to kind of settle for a minimum deal with the bucks but the biggest news that came out today in terms of the Milwaukee Bucks is that the Lakers are looking to trade for Brook Lopez so that’s what I’m going to focus on and what really caught my eye was the Lakers resigning Max Christie for four years at $32 million it’s possible that people within the organization just really like him and they were mad that Darvin ham wasn’t playing and maybe that’s part of the reason they wanted him gone and they want to keep him but it kind of gets me to thinking that seems like one of those kind of tradable contracts and like a young piece that a team might be interested in especially a team that’s a bit older and so that’s kind of got me thinking is that somebody that they might use in a trade with the Bucks and then I started going through the NBA trade machine I couldn’t put Christie in there because uh he it wasn’t updated yet on ES pn’s trade machine but really the deal that I’m seeing that’s making the most sense for Brook Lopez would be Austin Reeves and cam Christie not cam Christie he just got drafted um max Christie for Brook Lopez and I’m Miss drop a comment let me know how y’all would feel about that as a bucks fan I would definitely prefer that to ruy haimura I do not if it was a Brook Lopez trade and the best piece we got back was ruy I’d be hardcore out on that Reeves I’d feel conflicted but I’d like it more than I don’t like it and the reason being if we’re trading Brook Lopez I think we need to get better younger and more flexible for the future me personally if we could get value back I’d much rather move on from Bobby uh but seeing as Brook Lopez is older very old and only has one year left on his deal if we could get value back I’m very open to it and Austin Reeves he’s a guy that is on a fairly team-friendly deal he’s only getting paid like 12 million a year and with the way some of these guys are getting paid right now in the NBA there’s guys that he might be better than that are getting paid 50 million Bradley Beal maybe he’s not better than Bradley Beal but he’s in that kind of tier of players so you’d be getting for the bucks a guy that is on a real bargain that you could then swing to another team um for better assets or a player that fits even more what we’re trying to do so you could make it a three te three team deal or you could bring him in see how it looks and if you and if we feel like we need more defense then swing them somewhere else so for the Lakers that’s the deal that makes sense to me it would be a catastrophe if we did it for Ru haimura I’m not a believer in him do not think he plays a lot of Defense doesn’t really do anything great Reeves would make it for the bucks if we were to keep him it wouldn’t fill the holes that we have defensively but it would make us like the Celtics offensively where you could put five creators on the floor and Five Guys that could all get you 20 on any given night you could go with the lineup of Dame Reeves Middleton Bobby and Giannis now for me especially with Bobby out there defensively that isn’t really going to cut it in terms of the defense but if you could then swing Bobby for a more versatile forward a Wiggins type of player then you’re really starting to talk about something a team that’s very versatile and like I said five guys that could get you 20 a night so if I’m U if I’m running the show for the bucks that is what I’m the type of deals I’m trying to make guys that could fit what we’re trying to do and if they don’t austar Reeves you can always move them somewhere else because that is a contract that a lot of teams would like to have so uh that’s definitely something that you got to keep an eye out for with the Bucks otherwise if they don’t make a trade we’re just waiting on the minimum type guys to fall uh if you want to know who what I think about guys we should be looking for Tori and Prince one of them Aaron holiday another one you can go back and check out my video from a few days ago on the top free agent targets for the bucks but in terms of Trades I want to get younger or I want to get picks so that we can U make a move maybe at the trade deadline and get another guy or we can just have a guy that’s going to help us more in the future rather than Brook Lopez who is already on the decline and doesn’t have more than two or three years left uh ideally it’s guys that could do things on the defensive side of the floor and can’t create on offense and can knock down an open shot but if you can’t get all of that at least having five guys out there that can get a bucket and if they’re not solute liabilities defensively like I don’t think Reeves is a terrible Defender that could work good enough for this team but overall it’s not panic time at all like we have to make these huge moves or that we’re in a terrible situation the last three years either Chris middlton three years ago was out Giannis was out the last two years if we’re fully healthy I like our shot but I’m definitely open to moving Brooke or Bobby to get younger let me know what y’all think what do y’all think’s about to happen drop a comment hit that like and then subscribe please yes sir

What would you want back in a Brook Lopez trade?
I would want Reeves at least as part of the deal
Wait hold up don’t the grizzlies need a center why don’t we trade Brook Lopez to the grizzlies for Marcus Smart that would be perfect for both teams and that would fix a lot of the bucks defense I just tried it on the trade machine and it said the trade was successful
Lakers won’t trade Reaves. Not sure if Christie can be traded for at least like 2 months now (could be wrong)
I call Austin reeves by trading lopez
Trade Middleton!
bucks need a better center so they should trade brook lopez for joel embid and a three team trade to get a decent backup center in nikola jokic. maybe they can also get tyrese maxey thrown into the three team trade of joel and the joker for brook lopez. also they should sign paul george in free agency
Reaves and Dame isn’t much better than having Beasley defensively I don’t see the bucks getting an offensive guard to put next to dame . Vanderbilt is more likely someone the bucks would want he can’t shoot but he’s a big wing that can defend multiple positions
Brook Lopez is slow down and lost a step
Reeves or nothing
Really hard to make those salaries work with LA, almost impossible really. Vanderbilt and Reaves is close but doesn't work.
I would offer Brook Lopez to NY for Donte and then there's Mcbride and then one more guy works in the trade machine.
Rui and Game Vincent for Lopez
The Bucks need a long 3 and D wing next to Lillard and Middleton. As much as I like Reeves I don't see that working. Reddish might fit better from what is on that Lakers roster (Obviously, him in return for Lopez would be criminal, and the Lakers have no 1st round selection of quality over the next several years outside of unforeseen results). Long-term after Lillard has departed, obviously Reeves is the better option. I doubt the Lakers would trade him. The Lakers are not an ideal trade partner straight up, another team must be included.
Don't forget Brook and Robin live in the LA area during the off season.
Trade brook Kris pat and let's not get older
How can I get in contact with you?
We dont need to force a trade. AJ green will be a upgrade from malik beasly, and we gonna have a full camp with doc and dame.
Lakers have absolutely nothing the Bucks need, if the Bucks trade Lopez to the Lakers I think it has to be a 3 team deal. Reeves stinks we need defense not another small guard who is atrocious on defence
I don't see the need to trade splash mountain! He is not the problem! He had a +/- of +287 for the season and a higher defensive rating the Giannis! The problems are Middleton and whoever you throw out there at the 2. They need some youth and athleticism at these position! I cringe when I see Chris trying to dribble when isolated. Add in the poor drafting history and wasted picks on vets that were useless…there are your issues!
This is the dumbest shit I've seen. Stop the click bait. Brook isn't going back to the Lakers.
Christie cannot be traded for 90 days after he signs his deal I believe.
Rui would be an upgrade over Brook for our core, if we can add another piece with it, its a solid trade.
I think the bucks need to get the raptors involved and get Bruce Brown in a 3 team trade and have the Lakers send Max Christie or Austin Reaves to the Raptors
We cant do shit free agency..we are tier 2 of the luxury tax
Reaves taded to Beauchamp it's a nice deal…
Milwaukee gotta find a way to turn the Lakers deal into a 3 way trade. Only person that fits what Milwaukee doing is Vanderbilt. Everything else is useless
People need to stop with all this ignorant Middleton trade bs. Khris is never being traded. Hes a Buck for life, as long as Giannis is our captain all yall Khris trade is just smoke yall living in. Brook and Pat is the only Bucks getting traded this off season. Milwaukee can't move Dame because there's nothing out there worthy to move Dame for. People need to stay in reality and quit living in delusions. And anybody that dare say Bobby should be traded is crazy as hell also
We need to consider trading Bobby Portis or brook for either herb jones or some defensive 2 guard. This would allow Tyler smith to fill in at the PF/Cslot in the rotation.
