‘Remember the BUCKS?’ – Zach Lowe on which team CAN’T miss out in free agency | NBA Today

so far it’s to be expected right we didn’t expect to see any big moves until Paul George makes his DEC decision here Zach so which team are you looking at that really can’t afford here to miss out on whoever that big swing is going to be well I don’t know if they even have a bat in their hands to swing it but perk just said something interesting he said if if Paul George went to Philly all you got to worry about in the East is Boston and New York remember the Milwaukee Bucks remember them like they were supposed to be pretty good they got Damen Lillard who was a big deal Giannis missed the whole playoffs uh they fired their coach halfway through the season they lost in the first round because of injuries like they’re still here and they’re under an enormous amount of pressure to find some way they don’t have a lot of picks and trade they don’t have a lot of cap they have no cap space how are they going to keep up with the Joneses in the East is it really just another year of seasoning for Dam and Giannis under Doc Rivers is that really it like it feels like they got to do something and I I just don’t know what it is yeah how you feel about signing minimum players great good luck that’s what that’s what they’re heading towards so are you with are you with Zach here that the team that cannot afford to miss out on whoever their target is the Milwaukee Bucks I think the Denver Nuggets are a team we should be paying more attention to Denver is probably going to lose kavia cwell puff if you don’t listen to my advice on that or my word on that their general manager Calvin Booth pretty much said as much Jamal Murray has not extended his contract he is playing with the Canadian national team not contract not extended no one’s talking about that why why isn’t he extended his contract Aaron Gordon is Du a contract extension this summer is he going to sign an extension like are they done spending on this roster they salary dumped Reggie Jackson a couple days ago not that Reggie Jackson is a gigantic loss but they could have traded him for another player not just salary dumped him so how do the Nuggets keep up with the Joneses how do they replace a guy in their roster who was a big part of their championship team after they lost the guy last year so I think Denver is in a tough spot if you can be in a tough spot with Nika yic Denver is kind of in a bit of a tough spot right now which team can’t afford to miss out on this off every team but the Boston C itics every team but the Boston Celtics every team not named the Boston Celtics can’t miss out on whoever they’re trying to get in free agency hopefully with their draft picks and what they knocked down we can sit here and and focus on one team two teams oh this team every year every year we sit up here and say it’s Championship or bus for seven teams that’s what we say that’s just not the reality of the situation so for me if you’re not the champion then every single team around you’s got to get better to try and become the champion I didn’t know we could pick the whole league you’re welcome you didn’t ask ask like Char need to they can’t miss yeah they do to get better they do because we joke about that stuff but at the same point in time how did they start with clay and how did they start with Steph and how did they start with Draymond and Golden State they built it they built it through the draft so when we say Charlotte can’t mess up on draft picks if you’re going to build something great like other franchises have Boston Celtics you got to do it with the draft you can’t well we talking about free agency we’re going talk free timeing about this offse on but when we but we’re talking when this type of question come up we’re talking about guys that teams that are have a real chance at winning the title Richard and so who is yours I’m going I’m going with Zack with the Bucks I feel like look you got Damen lill you trade away Drew holiday he went got a championship with with Boston in your conference Yiannis with the complaint what did they go what are they going to do with Chris milleron Bruce Brown made my big list for a reason right p [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
