Mikal Bridges also extension eligible and not extended yet (I think). Nothing the obvious (it took 5 first to get him and he looked indispensable against the Celtics and pacers). Maybe Horst cooks w/ NYK, sends AJG/Kuz and 31 first for bridges? Bucks extend bridges? Or is this crazy/impossible

Totally fair. I am a bit biased in favor of having more routine in the proverbial cogs of the bucks machinery. So I’m okay with it

I think that’s a bit o’ hyperbole. But reasonable minds disagree

isn’t this just a bit above the vet minimum? Assuming it’s 3.6 or so/year

Brown v. WEC On March 1, 2023 Law Forward, on behalf of Black Leaders Organizing Communities (BLOC), moved to intervene in Brown v. WEC, the latest in a long line of attacks access on absentee voting.

But avoiding comment on the fundamental civil rights issues at stake in this case - namely, our right to full access to the ballot, including safe and secure absentee voting options - does little to strengthen our democracy: www.lawforward.org/brown-v-wec/
