Big yikes
Well… that’s a lot for a guy that’s been riding the bench all season AND is an expiring contract. I really felt like some of those 2nds could have been used elsewhere.
Edit: I’m not saying I wanted to keep the 2nds and draft guys with them, I would have rather used them in trades for other players instead of burning them all on Crowder.
Seeing two are late 50s it’s really 3 and cash.
I love that only shams reports our trades after Woj fucked us
Lmfaoo we got fleeced I hope you guys are happy now
Getting BOSSMAN99 for a bunch of grade school kids?
Do we lose anybody else to make contracts match?
That’s gotta be a record for seconds traded right? Lol
Playoff Player
5 picks is over half his ppg. Nice
Who cares about second rounders
Sheesh. Well 2nd round picks could all be trash let’s win another ship. Crowder u better be worth it
If 1 in 5 2nds turns into a role player, that’s about right
Literally just finished my work and sent the email off ready to relax and this is the first thing I see after, good times
Second round picks are basically useless but that is a lot for a guy that’s expiring and hasn’t played all year, but if he helps us win this year then we won’t even remember how many picks we gave up I guess
I want to be optimistic, but I don’t think his fake-tough personality will be a good fit.
FIVE? He’s a freaking expiring…we must have been DESPERATE
Man, could’ve had the next JOB with them picks
At some point seconds are as good as firsts
5 is crazy, I’m guessing Horst has something else planned for Hill/Nwora/Ibaka so hopefully that makes giving up 5 worth it in the bigger picture
Celtics got Mike Muscala for 2 seconds
Bucks FO: we want Crowder
Nets FO: hmmm, we aren’t really sure we want to trade him. You know what, give us 5 seconds and we’ll discuss it on our end.
Bucks FO: deal!
We’re getting our third ring. League is fucked. LFGGGGGGG 🤪🤪🤪🤪
Horst hates them seconds
I’m guessing Horst’ll flip Ibaka for at least one second round pick, 5 sounds like a lot but their the cheapest asset to use
5 2nd round picks sounds like a lot until you remember that 2nd round picks anywhere are basically lottery tickets. We gave that up for a guy that helps the team now and gave up no players in return. Good trade.
EDIT: Never mind, it’s a 3-team trade with Nwora going out. Still good though.
LET’S GOOOOOOOO. been waiting all season for this. our small ball lineup and wing defense just got so much better. This could be the move that wins us the chip.
Horst was probably gonna trade all those 2nds for late 50s picks anyway
Oh no. We lost future nworras and Sam merrils
second round picks don’t typically mean much, but this is still a lot. those probably couldve been better used as filler for a more impressive trade.
A guy that just is the opposite of everything this team is about. I don’t get it. The first Bucks player in a long time that I just cannot root for.
Whatever you think you are, I am!!!!- Horst rn probably
rip nwora
Always loved Jae! 🤞
Horst’s philosophy: Fuck dem picks
Whatever negative things I’ve said about Crowder in previous years I was just joking guys
I like this trade. The second rounders aren’t that important, but perhaps we can get some back if we trade Hill/Nwora/Serge.
I’m choosing to frame the picks as “five Jordan Nworas” to remind myself how valuable 2nd rounds usually end up being
Good deal, he could replicate the PJ Tucker role from the 2021 championship
For y’all saying this is a bad trade; y’all are wrong. We’re a win now team and our only competition is the Celtics. We need someone to guard tall wings like Tatum and we got that. Who cares about the future picks when we want to win RIGHT NOW. Plus, it’s the bucks, brodgon and redd are like our only good 2nd round draft picks ever
Oh holy shit. We get a solid defender that will help us in June and keep our core of scorers. Helluva fucking trade here. We are in our window and second rounders mean fuck all to us right now.
My only concern is Crowder’s mentality. We really need him to be locked in and committed to winning a championship. He’s going to help and has a big role to play, but he’s also got to realize that our core is well established. The last thing we need is someone bitching about usage and minutes on this run.
I’ve never liked Crowder and was skeptical of his attitude this year obv, but I think calling him a locker room cancer is overstating it a bit. Seems like the kind of guy who teammates absolutely love when he’s bought in, and this team has the leadership to integrate that. Have to assume a role was discussed/agreed upon when they met with him. I wouldn’t have been happy giving up any real value for him, but a bunch of Doron Lamb’s is like whatever
Hmm. Not sure how I feel about this. Guess we’ll see come playoff time?
I hate Crowder, but we got him and didnt lose Grayson
let’s fucking goooooo
I’m completely fine with this
Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.
Nooooo.
Excellent trade. We need a big 3 and D wing for the playoffs. It’s just the reality of modern NBA. We didn’t give up squat for it either. It’ll be us vs Boston for the Finals, and I think the winner brings home the title.
Also, Crowded went to school at Marquette
So tired of the PJ Tucker talk. The worst offensive player in the NBA. Undersized, t-rex arms. Played extremely hard for us bc he wanted a chip and to get paid. Didn’t bring much though. Durant lit Tucker up. If anything we made it easier on KD putting a 6’6 forward on him with maybe the shortest wing span in the NBA. Durant was able to get his shot off easily anytime he wanted.
