Bucks 42-43 Presser
Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2021 3:54 pm
Welcome back everyone! Last year, we SUCKED! Blew our stuff up and went into full on asset acquisition mode, and honestly, I'm not going to lie... I enjoy that part of being a GM more than anything else. We cashed in on Dangerfield and brought in Kuric and a buncha crap, swapped Wolfgang for Manley + MIP Johnny Dillard + what-would-become #1 overall pick, and Burnham for a useless pick that I ended up paying 3pts to draft a soon-to-be-dead guy in TC.
Last season was forgettable, but this offseason was not. We cashed in a couple chips to get a prime Tex Harrison from the magic (bye bye Manley and pick #7), drafted Darius Garland #1 overall, retained Patrick Williams in RFA, and then cashed in the crap from the Dangerfield deal with Garland to bring in the BEST center in the league, Mitch Robinson. However, after striking out a little more, we moved a guy we had hoped would be a part of the team for a long time, Gerry Folse. An incredible offer presented itself to us, giving us some depth we sorely needed, while also bringing in a couple young-ish studs in Arden Silva & Daishen Nix. Silva has been a player we have long coveted since he briefly played for us in 2038-39 season. Nix is an athletic wing with active hands. Both are expected to come in and start for us.
With the team mostly set, we are ready to go into this season with hopes of a playoff berth and a deep run, if not a championship. When we go all in like this, it's because we feel the team is ready to roll. Otherwise, we'll just blow this shit up again. Let's go, dammit!!!
