Bucks Presser

Greetings!

Last year was full of flux. We completely blew up the team, tearing it down to the studs and looking to get young and rebuild… but then along the way with the weak East not allowing us to get into that lottery, we leaned into competing and getting better. That included bringing in Michael Cooper and Kevin McHale. These changes had us where we were the previous season… the NBA Finals. However that crazy good run last year hit a wall in game 5, where the team crumbled under pressure. It’s natural for younger teams to struggle in clutch situations (not everyone is Tyrese Haliburton)… so props to the Kings and their coach for the game plann and comeback.

This offseason has been less exciting. We did have a lottery pick from the Clippers, who we used to bring in another offensive threat in Jeff Malone. In UFA, we brought in a true 3rd big in Nimphius and Michael Cooper recruited his former Bulls teammate Robert Reid.

Last season we were under the radar…. But this season, the spotlight is on us now. We need to use our Finals experience to get better and move forward… which I have the full faith in our squad in doing.

John Jackson, Jonestown Journal: We all know what happened last season so I don't think anything else needs to be said about the finals collapse we all witnessed. Though preseason doesn't give the whole picture, it must excite you to see Lister and McHale dominating the paint defensively. You're also one of only two teams to average less than 100 pts against. Do you see this as being your team identity? Or does drafting Malone, who leans more offense, hope to balance this roster out?

What are your thoughts about being on the Celtics no trade list?

Scoot in the afternoon, Net Nation: We have heard rumors of you sending some scouts to Japan to look for talent, is there any truth to those rumors?

Steve Duin, Portland Trailblazers beatwriter for the Oregonian...

Can you contrast the elation of rebuilding a team in a season, getting to the finals, and then the bitter disappointment of choking up 3-1?

"Gonorrhea" Gary Glumpkin, National Geograph: Sleepy Floyd had a breakout rookie season, averaging 19.1 pts, 3.6 assists, and 2.6 rebounds per 33.2 minutes. With a little training, do you think he has the potential to be a top-5 PG in this league? Also, is he still sleepy?

Our identity is and will always be defense first, specifically rim protection and turnover generation. I think that was the most disappointing aspect of last seasons finish. But we will continue to improve and move forward. Malone will be a nice infusion of offense, although he is not ready for sustainable minutes JUST yet! That said, injuries plagued our back court last season, and he may get his time to shine soon enough.

It’s true. We are looking to explore other continents and be the forefathers of expanding the NBA brand to Asia!

It was really tough to go through. we were feeling a real good with how everything was transpiring, if we could’ve pullled of the finish, I seriously think it could’ve been one of the best seasons of all sim league history. But instead we were one of the best embarrassments of all sim league history.

Sleepy is the future of our PG situation, but has a little ways to go. I do think he needs some trainings but that will come in due time
