[Woelfel] “Sources claim the Bucks are still very receptive to trading veteran Brook Lopez, but the Bucks’ asking price of a first-round draft pick for a 36-year-old center with a $23M contract is too rich.”
If I were the Bucks, I’d rather have an old brook lopez than a future pick. Who they hell would they start at C if they traded him?

Give us a young athletic players and you take out old farts thank you

He’s not worth a 1st at that contract, but also not worth it for the Bucks to trade him for nothing either. They don’t even have a Center outside of him.

IDK why the Bucks want to get off of him. He’s still a great rim protector and he spaces the floor for Giannis. If Giannis played next to a center who can’t shoot 3s, his life would get so much harder on offense dealing with a packed paint. Unless they want to move Giannis to center I guess, but then they’d need to trade for a starting forward.

I sometimes wonder if players are floated to give them an ego check by their front office.

Gerry Woelfel is not a reliable reporter, does not have sources within the Bucks, and should not be listened to by anyone ever. He had one in with the team years ago, it was Jabari Parker, and he has just managed a blog where he gets mad about Giannis ever since Jabari left. There is a reason why, if you search his name, obituaries show up before any of his writing and despite carrying himself as someone who reports/writes on the Bucks he has never showed up to any media for fuck knows how long.
If you clear that space who do you even go after at this point ?

I wonder if something with a general framework of Barnes, Huerter, or a combo of the two going to Milwaukee/New Orleans, Lopez going to New Orleans, Ingram going to Sacramento, and a Sacramento frp going to each of Milwaukee and New Orleans would work.

If the Bucks can find a good deal for Brook Lopez that benefits the team’s future without sacrificing too much, it might be worth considering. His experience and defensive presence have been valuable, but at his age and salary, it’s understandable why the asking price could be a sticking point for potential trades.

Who do they have to replace him? He was always the toughest spot on their team to matchup and play against in the playoffs.

Not worth it for first round. Maybe for a team that’s a championship contender that needs to win NOW and they’re vulnerable at center or lack of depth.

It seems like the Bucks have had issues with the Brook Lopez succession plan for years and haven’t found anything viable. I wonder if we’re gonna see Giannis full time at the 5.

Bucks are old as hell

Brook and Pat for Wiggins and Looney

Let me tell you what will happen if he’s traded. It’ll be the worst first round pick ever or it’ll be like a clippers 2030 second round pick. This is pure lakers leverage since we’ve been linked to wanting him on our roster again, and everyone knows we have a big hole in our roster construction
Confident_Pen_919
Did the Bucks forget Brook Lopez is 36
RVAIsTheGreatest
He still has first round pick level impact as a player if you look at the numbers. But picks with this new CBA are a team’s way of adding cheap(er) talent without having to find it outside the organization. They have a lot of value.
Bucks wanting off Brook seems like a grass not always being greener on the other side deal.
amateurdormjanitor
What changed from two seasons ago? I remember Bucks fans raving about him and he was a DPOY candidate if I recall correctly. Did he lose a ton of mobility? Is his rim protection falling off?
Nomorenightcrawlers
I refuse to believe that we’d be asking for a draft pick. That would do nothing to help us and would leave us with only Giannis and Bobby as the only bigs on the roster
TiltMyChinUp
I have to say, all the comments about Lopez not being worth a first rounder are absolutely baffling to me. And he’s not worth 23 million?
He’s a top 10 player at his position, and plays a style that maybe 3 other players can. Myles Turner and Porzingis aren’t available.
This requires the right marriage of player and team, but if the Pelicans aren’t trying to trade for him and draft a 3 point shooting center behind him they’re dumb as shit

Keep Brook at this point.
He 36 but you aren’t finding a rookie in future drafts that giving his level of production any time soon.
Let him be the old vet like Horford going forward.

You’ll attach a few seconds and get back Bruce Brown and you’ll like it.

I’ll sell my dick for few million dollars and another dick of my choosing in the future.

Even if he was a free agent with no compensation, is there any team out there offering a 1/23? Highly doubtful.

Kangz- do your thing and get brolo!! He’s a perfect fit for Sabonis who can’t shoot from the perimeter.

This doesn’t make a whole lot of sense for us. Why would we want a first round pick when we realistically have a 1-2 year window here?
