The Jaylen Brown Trade Impact on Tyler Herro and What the Experts are Getting Wrong About the Bucks
Milwaukee Bucks shake up their roster with a two-for-one trade, moving Gary Harris and Taurean Prince for Caris LeVert and two second-round picks. Is GM John Horst laying the groundwork for bigger moves? Justin Garcia and Camille Davis break down the impact on the Bucks’ cap situation, discuss the value of second-round picks amid changing NBA draft dynamics, and spotlight the flexibility gained for future trades.
Key insights include the outlook for Caris LeVert’s role, potential targets using trade exceptions or mid-level exceptions, and the emerging trade market for veterans like Myles Turner and Tyler Herro. The hosts debate whether the Bucks can outperform expectations in a revamped Eastern Conference and examine the national perception of Milwaukee’s rebuild under new coach Taylor Jenkins. Will a retooled roster and competitive edge spark a fresh era for Bucks basketball?

the Kandor Jae Crowder
The possible 2nd round draft picks can't stay in college forever. Soon enough these now more experienced players will be drafted.
Herro and ware would be our 2 best players next season 🦌
More moves will be coming.
I wonder when will Ament sign his contract?
Im torn on Tyler. Part of me wants him to play for us and be slightly less bad hahaha but also makes more sense to trade him if you can get atleast a first. I honestly think im leaning towards keeping him. We still dont control our firsts for a bit and frankly need to cement a winning culture. Hard to do that losing non stop
I’m not gonna lie. Losing 50 games isn’t going to enjoyable at all.
Horst needs to go, or team will flounder, he's too stupid to be a GM, no common sense
Pump the brakes on trading Tyler, the Bucks don't have one known commodity on this team outside of Tyler. We hope Rollins takes the next step, we hope Ware can be a stud. We hope Kas can be nice. Hold on to Herro at least till the trade deadline, if he balls out you probably get a better deal than right now.
Ham still on coaching staff, he will keep everything the same – Jenkins just a puppet
It's true that paying college players has hurt the second round. However, as players stay in college and use up eligibility they will begin to become available again.
We should be actively looking to trade Turner, whats the point in keeping him when we have Ware. Ware is better at center.
Pete nance is on the Vegas roster
"It would be nice to have a superstar" this coming season. How did the NY Knicks win the championship? KAT, OG, Jalen Brunson — they're not on par with Shai, Chet, Jalen Williams or Luka, Lebron or Jokic, Murray, Aaron Gordon. They won as a team. This current Bucks team, with the right coach, have just as much chance to win it all like the NY Knicks did: with heart, with teamwork, with the right strategies and plays. Ware can be just as good as KAT, the rest are formidable: Tyler Herro, Kasparas, Jaquez, Rollins, etc. Stop saying the Bucks have no chance this season. They're going to surprise you all.
Im hope the bucks are able to sneak into the 1st round of next year to hopefully draft allijah arenas that would be be a great starting 5 to work with in the future
Pg-kas
Sg-burries/rollins
Sf-arenas
Pf-bogi/ament
C-ware
All would be under 25
This roster is top 7 in the East or higher.
If we could 2 for 1, Kuz and LaVert for Sabonis I’d be all in. We get a starter at PF next to Turner and open a spot for the inevitable GPJ signing. I think Turner, Sabonis, Triple J, Herro, KPJ with the bench improvement that this year could be a play-in or better.
Tyler herro to milwaukee bucks 2026 2027
While I recognize what GA was for Milwaukee, I am looking more forward to watching a more fluid team basketball going forward.
