Build the (Khris) statue!
Bradley Beal is just as injury prone as Khris. Nobody wants Jimmy Butler in Milwaukee either he does this every team he has played with. He would ruin the Bucks locker room.
Khris is my guy. Want him to retire a Buck. But I know this is the real world. Only way that happens is if he takes a pay cut. He will be traded or allowed to hit the open market. By then feelings will be hurt. Sad reality☹️
Have no interest in Beal but if we did make a move go get lavine or even reed from Detroit

If you told me the only two choices the Bucks had was to trade for Beal or make NO MOVES at all I would choose the second a million times over. Unless the Bucks were given the guaranteed first pick in the draft, i cant imagine why the Bucks would pick up Beal.
I really can’t picture a world where khris gets traded and it doesn’t push Giannis out the door. They’re basically brothers at this point and if it was worth it to keep Thanasis on the bench as long as he was then it’s def worth it to Lee Khris. Especially since he seems to be rounding back into shape nicely. He’s a killer in the playoffs.
Bravo Mr Jon Horst, Beal would be a mistake the same way he was a mistake for the suns, Beal has always been overrated playing for a non winning franchise the wizards, Bucks will be part of the suns and Miami trade with other teams but to only dump Pat and other pieces for anything they can get
How can we get Bruce Brown from Toronto for the low low😂
I don't want to win no matter what. I want us to win with KM. No to Beal hell no to Buttler.
How can they fly to Milwaukee ?
The media has been fueling speculation about the Milwaukee Bucks acquiring Jimmy Butler or Bradley Beal, generating significant attention (clicks and views). However, given their front office's history of unconventional moves, it's plausible they're pursuing a different trade target
a no win situation
THANK. GOD.
Khris will forever a bucks. ❤
also – Goose… nice 🤝
Middleton for Lavine
I don't know why we're talking about these little guys. Relatively speaking when we need a big man with rebound and shot- blocking ability. Come on, now, are we really trusting? Bobby Portis when the playoffs start ? Haven't we seen enough of this low basketball IQ guy. Must, I remind bucks fans about the indiana playoff game where this idiot, no disrespect, gets himself.Thrown out of the most important game of the season
Justin/Camille,
These guys are professionals, they are rested & fine. This is basketball & not the NFL. They play inside a heated arena.., they are grown men and competitors. Let’s not enable them and make excuses for them not being ready or able to play. They can hoop & i am sure itching to hoop… I’m sure Giannis is just gnawing away at a bone to get on that hardwood court and have the rock in his hands. Beside that, if we want to build mental fortitude and grit, these kind of things help prepare and mold our team towards winning it all. Let’s not take hard situations away from them.
