@PattiRafalskiDavison The bottom line is this…as this roster is constructed unless Brandon Jennings and players like Tobias Harris and Larry Sanders get a lot better and come close to their ceiling in terms of potential the Bucks will always be a team that will be fighting for the last two playoff spots. This roster will never win a championship as constructed. The only way the Bucks will ever obtain a superstar is through trade or the draft. No Superstar Free Agent will ever sign a contract to a cold weather small market team….unless they are like Reggie White and “god” lead them to Milwaukee. That is exactly why high lottery picks are important. The risk outweighs the reward in terms of lottery picks for the Bucks…if the goal is to ever win a championship. If the Bucks are ever going to get a superstar it will be through the draft and I would rather have them suck trying to do it then suffer through another decade of sub-mediocrity.

@PattiRafalskiDavison @alixx105 Because their terrible GM drafted terribly. I’d trade any two players on the Bucks for Rubio and Love. I might trade them all for Rubio and Love…

@alixx105 If a lottery pick is so good, why have the Timberwolves been in the lottery for last 5 years?

@PattiRafalskiDavison @AvidBucksFan @ThisIsntUnicef I don’t the Bucks can literally afford to amnesty Gooden. If they can get a veteran center who can at least rebound then Gooden can go back to playing at the PF. The current other young bigs (Larry, Ekpe, Leuer) just don’t quite rebound enough to be effective starters if Gooden is going to be playing mostly away from the paint.

@AvidBucksFan @ThisIsntUnicef Chris Kaman is making $14 Million. Oden’s salary for this season was negotiated down from nearly $9 million to $1.5 million after yet another health setback. Neither player is begging to play in Milwaukee as far as I can tell. Gooden at $6.2 has busted his back playing center for Bucks and always with a smile. With the players on Bucks roster it would be foolish to amnesty Drew.

@alixx105 I’m only liking this cuz of the Tyler Zeller part. However, I know numerous people who have said, “Forget it, for me there just Badgers, Brewers, and Packers.” Which breaks my heart, but i hope Kohl realizes this too…

@JustinNixon Well then let me spell it out for you. When you are a bad defensive player and a poor shooter who takes a ton of shots, that is why people don’t think you are a great player. ”volume shooter” is a made up term that means “this guy misses way too many shots and is probably one of the reason our team isn’t better”

And as for other guys not being about to do what Brandon does from long range. Your right those specific guys I listed don’t shoot well from 3 (two shoot better than BJ), but they also realize the are not great from behing the arc and don’t attempt many 3pt shots. Jennings attempted the second most 3pt shots in the league this year despite being the 100th best 3pt shooter. In other words there are 3 other players on every team in the league who are better at shooting 3s than him. So he probably shouldn’t be taking 6 a game.

I like Jennings, but he shoots too much for how good he is at it.

Those are reasons that “our backcourt is getting so much guff”.
