  4. Loved Myles at Pacers (I lived in Indiana all 9 years with Pacers). He can be emotional leader and I hope he stays. I want he & Kelel mesh well with Jericho providing great backup. Those 3 can all play between 24 and 32minutes a game, making for a big mean rebounding and defending the paint bunch. More than anyone new on this team, they will give Kelel a good run of games of 30 or more minutes. The Warehouse just might be a flourishing superstar sooner rather than later. Few can snag 20 rebounds, make 6 of 7 threes, get 7dunks or block 7 shots; Kelel has already attained those benchmarks. KW 18pts, 11rbs gm

  6. Would love to see at power forward: Ament, Markovic, Dieng, Sims. With Turner and Ware at center. To compliment the bigs, would love to see three guards line-ups (intead of a small forward): Rollins, Burries, Herro, Kevin Porter Jr., Jakucionis, Green, Jaquez.

  8. Only doc rivers could kill that excitement we should have had the past two seasons . If I come to a bucks game , I don't want to see him anywhere at the arena. In any capacity.
