The episode examines the Bucks’ offensive woes, Cam Thomas’ efficiency concerns, and what this move means for Giannis Antetokounmpo’s return and the team’s playoff ambitions.

Cam Thomas bucks better player and great player 2026 2027
Cam Thomas!!!!! Now they've gone and done it!
I am a little bit surprised, but obviously tanking isn't on their radar.
Something people aren’t noticing who kpj was before we got him, I mean similar story as cam thomas, inefficient scorer, and now look at kpj, efficient plus the playmaking is elite. Not saying cam will be an elite playmaker or even be efficient, but cam with this incredible spacing will have way better shot quality.
Lets Goooo
For those of you that don’t remember life before Giannis, the quickest way to nba death is chasing the 8th seed.
Bucks need to trade giannis
Rollins aj kpj giannis myles
Cam gt kuz bobby sims
Sam Darnold won the Super Bowl.
Moving on, the Bucks can hopefully play better.
Would rather have cam thomas than the picks we would of got in the draft
Think we will have more positives than negatives with Cam. We dont have one of those 🤷🏾♂️
Cam Thomas is going to ball 🏀 out with us he is a walking bucket #FeartheDeer 🦌 🔥 💯
What the fuck are the bucks front office doing? Tank you dumbasses !!! You think cam Thomas who plays selfishly is gonna convince giannis to stay ? Smh
This is a clear definition of not accepting reality
😂 going for what a lottery pick what we doing we need defense and rebounding just forfeit every game save the players the injuries
Thomas is a clown. An inefficient shooting, ball hog, selfish clown that the pathetic Nets don’t even want. 😂
I wonder what Camille thinks now 😂😂, She never wanted that pick up.
We don't need another cone standing at the 3 pt line waiting for a pass out. We need someone who can create his own shot, take it to the hoop and can get hot and score alot on a bench that doesn't.
He's only 24 and can be taught to play defense and pass more. Cam will be valuable when we go cold, smthg we do a lot, esp when we have leads.
AJ and GT play too many mins to let us win.
I like the move but the NBA is about your weak spots, you can improve but if you keep running Portis out there, he's going to negate anything good your doing, just like Lopez last year in the playoffs, he lost playing time cause he couldn't move his feet, Bobby is the same way, but no one realizes it, Bobby will negate any good thing you do, he's a loser at the highest level, doesn't belong in the NBA
Cam offers nothing but bad defense, another stupid Horst signing, always injured
Dont bring Giannis back. Shut him down for the rest of the season and trade him in the offseason.
Next we have to trade for Jordan poole then sign ayton
better looks, Cam will have less looks with an injured Giannis
3 short guards- all bad ball handlers is a continued disaster in cone defense and turnovers
I think pairing Cam with Jackson off the bench would be a pretty good compliment play style wise.
What the fuck are the bucks front office doing? Tank you dumbasses !!! You think cam Thomas who plays selfishly is gonna convince giannis to stay ? Smh
Cam will shoot you into Ws and shoot into Ls. But he will get up shots.
A lot of people here contradicting themselves, on one hand they’re saying Cam Thomas is awful but also saying Bucks front office are dumb for not tanking…… if he’s as awful as you’re saying then how is signing him also not tanking…… if he’s as awful as you say and you WANT the bucks to tank then you should be happy with the signing 🤔🤷♂️
I'm reading people who want to tank. Do you really have confidence in the bucks? Front office to make a great pick in the top 10 when they've barely done that the last 30 years. the whole scouting department needs to be revamped.Maybe talk to the brewers and the packers about that
lets fucking go like jon horst may suck at drafting but my god he likes to grab a bunny out of a hat
Going for what? lol😂
If they can keep Cam and go get Ja Morant next season and have a starting 5 of Ja, KPJ, Cam, Giannis, and Myles that would be great 🔥
With BP and KPJ he can have some amazing ball-hogging contests fosure
