Where do you see Paul George playing the most this season? Is it possible to see him start at 4 different spots throughout the season?

What is your expectation of your bigs this year? McNary and Arciniega seem a bit undersized for the traditional role as a power forward. Is this any concern for you?

Probably another city, tbh.

jokes aside, our lack of a capable big man in the 5 spot may push us to get creative with our lineups.

My expectations before and after TC changed a lot. I had a lot of confidence before, now we'll be like 7th seed playoffs at best. FYI, Arciniega was a PF only because injuries forced me to start him there in the playoffs. I typically play him at the 3.

Things seem very muted in Milwaukee this season. What will it take for the team to find joy this year?

Sham Smith, Bulls.com: The Central Division has generally been a division where at least 4 out of the 5 teams are playoff caliber teams. If you could switch divisions, where would you take the Bucks?

What happened during TC? Will you fire your Training Staff after these results? Will you blow up this team or wait and see if they still play at a high level?

If you had to pick one, what is the most important single attribute or skill of any lone player on your team? For instance Small's quickness, or McNary's strength, etc................ Just one.

We had some disappointing results, specifically with our big man situation. We really were pushing to challenge the Bulls and Pistons for a division crown, but thanks to setbacks outside our control, we may take this opportunity to reassess our team's future and needs.

Two seasons ago, Damien McNary was the apple of the Milwaukee Bucks' eyes. You traded Enes Kanter for him and called him the sole foundation of your team. He made 3rd team all league and was filled with promise. Then last season happened and things never seems to go right. First you didn't have a good PG and that was to blame for his slow start. Then you got a pass first PG back and things looked better and the love was found again. finally right before the playoffs he broke his leg and your spirits were shattered worse than his leg. Then coming back from injury DMC had a bad TC and he's back on the outs with the franchise. Looking at DMC, hes still a potential 20/10 guy that can lock down the post and provides as a shot blocker but the team still has him on the block. With that being stated, is it fair to expect to find another guy under 26 that checks the same amount of boxes he checks? Can you talk about the roller coaster of emotions you've had with him? Is there any hope of a reunion again if he comes out of the gates hot?

We aren't necessarily looking for an equal player in a trade, we'd be open to a combination of players/assets. The ship has sailed.

Damion McNary took a hit in training camp, but he'll be back with a quick paid training, surely. My question is: What are the chances that we get to see him play the 5 this season, with Russel Arciniega, who has developed into quite the talent, play the 4?
