1st vs 2nd best playoff defense. 11th vs 10th offense. Defense matters !!!

@"dirkfansince1998" are you rooting for the good team, or signing on to join the ranks of the rest of these Philistines?

Sorry. Cannot join you on your crusade. Never been to Milwaukee but Phoenix sucks. And the Bucks roster is way more likeable than CP3 and his merry band of cheap shot artists.

One day you will have to tell us the full KillerLeft vs Milwaukee story. Looks like a good place to life for people in my age group (late 20s/early 30s). I just saw a study that ranked Milwaukee as the 3rd best place to life for college grads.

I am cheering for the refs.
I hope they can get their screen time with 6 reviews in the 4th quarter each lasting 3-5mins.
Need to call at least 40 fouls and have 50-60 foul shots to get some more action.
At least 3 overly dramatic charge calls to get warmed up in the 1st quarter.
Also need to waste a few minutes making sure everyone’s feet are place perfectly for the starting jumpball.

I'm glad the greatest city in the history of man has Greek Freak to represent it.

No, no...we THOUGHT Giannis was signing in DFW or South Beach, but he STAYED IN MILWAUKEE!!!

[Aussiebballer]

Out of all the cities in the world named Milwaukee it is definitely in the top 3.

we THOUGHT Giannis was singing in DFW 

No one thought this.

Just to clarify. If Milwaukee is the worst city on earth. Is Wisconsin also the worst state or is the hatred limited to the city?

Oh, Wisconsin...

This would be intersting. Unless DeRozan is willing to come for exception money, signing him would require a lot of sacrifice just to avoid hard cap limitation. Most likely it would mean all of Harell, THT, Schroeder and Caruso gone. They can keep one of them if they trade Kuzma. Is DDR worth it? I doubt...

It is easy to see DeRozan desiring to finish his career in LA.  I see him as the replacement for Schroder, not in addition to him.  That makes staying under the hard cap more manageable.   

To me the interesting part of this is the agent angle.  This is how an agent might leverage his position.  Paul has a toe hold in San Antonio with Murray.  He has all sorts of guys on the Lakers who need to be paid this year or next.  But the Laker’s don’t have much ability to pay and don’t really value some of those guys (Harrell).   So, if you job is to get those guys paid, then your strategy should be to send them to a team that has all the cap room in the world.

For sure Harrell and THT are in the outgoing plus one of KCP or Kuzma.  All of those are Paul guys.  You bring back Caruso and build out your bench with ring chasers and maybe someone cheap from the Spurs like Tre Jones and/or Keldon Johnson.  I’m thinking DeRozan at $20mm or so, but there is a big range that would trade match.  You might even split the deal in such a way that you get a TPE.  You probably can’t use it in the current season, but could next summer if the timing is right.

The worst city is the one you associate with bad memories.
