…executive orders can’t “direct” states to do anything? Unless he’s federalizing state law enforcement, which…nahhhhhh.

I mean…Dame never *really* wanted to leave Portland. This proves it. Cool story.

But goddammit, the Bucks gave up a ton to get him from the Blazers, then the Dame-in-MIL thing never worked, and now he’s *back* with Portland?!

At least Milwaukee will get a break on some of that stretched salary.

There is no one — and I mean no one — more hyped about the Bucks retaining Chris Livingston than @justingarcianba.bsky.social. Probably not even Chris Livingston!

By the way even if President Moron skates right past this millionth scandal, it’s still worth knowing about this shit. The whole thing stinks worse than raw chicken that’s out in the sun

(please lord, trade our starting SF for an actual wing who can be trusted. Send out the 2031 FRP if you have to, get this guy off the roster ASAP)

KPJ/Anthony/Rollins
GTJ/AJ Green/Gary Harris
(ugh)/Prince/AJax(?)
Giannis/Bobby
Turner/Sims

Weak on the wing but otherwise…there’s a lot to work with here, if you lean into guard depth and implement a flexible system.

Late to this, but Cole Anthony is a nice add for the Bucks. He’s not on the same tier of talent as Beal (who might go for more $ than MIL can afford) or maybe even Brogdon, but Anthony is *young* and gives the team another viable option at PG.

With Point Giannis, KPJ/Rollins/Anthony might work.

If you get the chance this summer go see some classic great American achievement stuff. Good reminder for the soul.

As part of agreeing to move his contract guarantee back with the Milwaukee Bucks, Andre Jackson Jr. got his deal partially guaranteed for $800K, a league source told @spotrac.com.

Jackson's contract will become fully guaranteed on opening night of the 2025-26 season.

Annual notice: The scenarios that “matter” at Summer League are when a second-year guy is dominating and looks Too Good To Be There ™ or a third- or fourth-year guy is *not* dominating and looks like Just a Guy. Anything other than that, you’re prob best off taking it with several grains of salt.

Bucks are gonna simply play a lot of 3-guard lineups, with this roster. Too many of their decent players are guards, so let’s just get nuts.

If the Bucks can swing it, a Giannis-Beal-Turner trio flanked by a collection of solid role players (Bobby, KPJ, AJ Green, GTJ, maybe even Rollins or Sims or AJax) has lots of options.

And if they can turn kyle kuzma into anything (including a permanent benching, I hate his game), that’s gravy!

It’s probably not a good idea, but I’m officially announcing my pro-Bradley Beal stance for the Bucks.

Milwaukee has quadrupled-down on remaining a contender during Giannis’ prime, damn the future picks and cap space. The current team needs some scoring punch to feasibly contend. Beal can score.

Seems like a foregone conclusion. Paolo is *good* and young players that produce like that get max-money.

Also, Ryan Rollins played a significant stretch of the season on a busted shoulder and was still a decent contributor, so he clearly loves the game and is tough as nails. A worthwhile investment.

FROM SHAMS:

Rollins, a 2022 second-rounder, joined the Bucks on a two-way contract in Feb. 2024 and spent most of 2024-25 on a two-way before receiving a standard deal in March. He opted for a rest of season contract, became an unrestricted free agent and now is rewarded with a $12M deal.

Good bit of business and a great next step for the “two-way success story” that is Ryan Rollins. He could start at point guard! Only he and KPJ have the right skills for the position (besides Giannis, of course) and they’ll both be featured in the rotation.

All of the reported #Bucks moves can become official today. But it may* take a bit for all those dominoes to fall.

Some roster spots will likely take longer to fill out.

I know a team can have any number of assistant coaches, but if Joe Prunty is indeed headed to Orlando it does potentially open up a full time position for Rajon Rondo.

Doc Rivers has made it clear he would like to hire his former point guard if Rondo was interested.

Bingo. ESPN has perfected the self-propelling narrative, especially for the NBA. It’s the sports-media equivalent of a perpetual motion machine. So what if it violates the laws of physics, it’s gets the clickzzzzzzz and the viewzzzzzz 🤪
