Is it time to give the Bucks some respect. Since they acquired Bledsoe they are 12-7. They just beat the Cavs and almost beat the rockets. If they address their issue at center are they a real team?

so, all you need to have a decent team is getting 2 mini LeBrons

>have an elite 7-footer
>need to address center position
why don't they just move the center to center where he belongs?

Giannis isn't a center. He's more SF than PF even. A great fit for the bucks would be a guy like gorgui. He could put in 25 to 30 minutes a night at center and do absolutely fine with Giannis Middleton and Bledsoe also on the court.

Also Giannis is not mini.

He's 30 pounds smaller than LeBron

Wow look guys somebody from 2015 is posting on here.

Let's clear up some lies around this. He technically wiegh-in at 210 before the NBA that he was in. So unless you believe he only gained 12 pounds in the last 5 years then his listed weight is way off.

Google says he's 100kg

How tall is KD?

How's Maker going this year?

Meh. He is okay in space but gets beat up down low. He should really be playing pf still until he gains some pounds.

Well they are supposed to have the 2nd best player in the league. It'll be funny to watch them get the 6th seed and crash out to the Raptors or something.

The bucks should get at least the 4 seed. But even then they could crash into a 1 seed raptors.

206cm

Why do people on Sup Forums say he is actually taller? Why the fuck would he pretend to be shorter? If anything, it's the other players pretending to be taller

KG said he pretended to be shorter so they don't force him to play center, which is kind of retarded since it's not like an NBA team isn't going to know how tall its players are.

lol this guy doesn't even know KD is 6'11"

It's because he is soft and doesn't want the responsibility that comes with being a big.

It don't make no sense, Porzingis didn't need to say he's 6'8 so he can play as a forward

Does KD actually look taller than other players listed 6'7?

>6'7
6'9**

Him and Cousins are the exact same height.

Nevermind, just checked and he looks taller than Cousins who is listed 6'11'' kek

How much better would the Bucks be if Giannis stopped memeing and played PF like he should and they got a real SF who can stretch the D?

He is currently playing PF. It's

Bledsoe
Snell
Middleton
Giannis
A bad Joke.

I think he is equally equipped to play PG SF and PF. Since the bucks don't have any big men he has been playing PF.

you're a fucking idiot.

KD himself said he under-reported his height his whole life. It started in highschool. His coach and him talked it out, and instead of reporting his height as 6'11" they reported him as 6'9", this was so colleges wouldn't recruit him to play Center or Power Forward, but SF

Well, once the lie was told there was no going back on it, so his college coach did the same thing, and kept it 6'9", in order to mislead oposition teams into thinking he was "normal" sized as a SF and create a mismatch. This was also in line with Durant's thinking, he didn't want the NBA to draft him for PF or C

Now he's in the league all the "official" sources claim him to be 6'9" because that's what his height was claimed to be when he was drafted, and NBA teams aren't required to report jack-squat about height/weight.

Its not that he's kept lying since entering the NBA, it's that news sites are too lazy to fix it. KD openly talks about it. Its not like it's a secret.

The bigger difference would be getting Middleton back to SG where he can mismatch smaller defenders. The bucks would look really tough as Bledsoe Middleton, Paul George and Giannis

Did the same happen with Giannis? He was listed as 6'7 when drafted and now he's 6'11. No way you can keep growing when you are 19 years old

A 6'11" guy can't fool NBA teams that you are 6'9" and get drafted as a 6'9" guy.
NBA teams literally measure you. The entire combine will have to be in on the conspiracy for such a lie to work.

Giannis actually grew. It was well documented.

The bucks don't really have enough to get George. The best they could offer is Jabari Delly and a future number 1.

He's a FA. They don't have to offer anything.

Yeah if Telly's contract gets dropped by the league maybe there is space.

Taking the ball out of Giannis' hands and playing him at the four is a dumb idea; that offense revolves around him making shit happen.
>inb4 lebron and draymond
Lebron always handles the ball when playing SF and posts up as a PF
Warriors play team ball so they take turns on who runs plays

Well whatever they are doing right now isn't working so well or they wouldn't be so shit so maybe they should let someone else handle the ball.

I would agree but they have no other playmakers besides Giannis
Also, they're doing alright. Get a couple more shooters and just let Giannis barrel into the paint

They are 12-7 since the trade and everybody has been hurt. delly Telly Jabari snell and terry have all missed significant time.

>not snelly

They've been doing pretty well and Bledsoe and Brogden both handle the ball quite a bit. It's there defensive scheme that hold them back.

Snell missed like 6 games with patellar tendinitis

holy shit my sides

The bucks should take it slow and hope to win the Klay Thompson sweepstakes.

Klay and Giannis were meant for each other.

They're 4th best in the east. Big whoop

They are one piece, not sure what, away from being a Boston level threat to LeBron in the playoffs.

>issue at center
Henson is fine. He defends well enough.

What they need is for Giannis to keep improving, a better bench ,and one more really good player to take those Tony Snell/Dellevadova/Liggins minutes.

>Klay and Giannis were meant for each other.
>Checks "Catch and Shoot" threes stat.
>Klay #1

The Cucks are and will always be a meme. First to second round exit in the next 5 years then the Cucks will give up Giannis and start from scratch

You are a retard if you think Giannis won't make it to the finals given 5 years.

Not if Kidd stays coach

Just wait till jabari gets back

Giannis is on a bargain contract. He gives you everything Lebron gives you but he doesn't have a 40 million contract starting next year as a 34 year old.

I think Lebron is fools gold. Over the next 3 years after this season he won't be worth 40 million a year and will ultimately hurt whichever franchise he goes to.

I say this as a huge Lebron fan. I believe he is the best ever. But this next contract is his golden parachute.

Lebron is worth much more than a max.

Let's wait until they get out of the 1st round or rather make the playoffs consecutive seasons before putting such expectations on them.

>He gives you everything Lebron gives you
Lebron took a much shittier team to the finals in just his 4th season straight out of HS.

>A 6'11" guy can't fool NBA teams that you are 6'9" and get drafted as a 6'9" guy.
> NBA teams literally measure you. The entire combine will have to be in on the conspiracy for such a lie to work.
the NBA obviously knew he was 6'11" at the draft. blame ESPN for keeping his height listed at 6'9". they do the same shit with NFL players all the time. Someone claims to be 6'3", they turn out to be 6'1" at the combine and ESPN never, for the rest of their career changes the "official" measurement of 6'3" on the player profile page.

Giannis was a street urchin until he was 16 dude.

They need a new coach. Kidd has this team on the cusp, but he still won't be able to win a playoff series
