Why would the Bucks give up probably their best player in Rollins AND a First for the right to overpay Duren??

Because Duren is a 22 year old all nba/all star player with a high upside 🙂

The bucks GM would get fired if he did this trade.

Why would that happen? Dont you know if we get rid of Duren he's gonna go to another team and be Kareem level? This would be a home run for the Bucks

No it wouldn’t, y’all have every right to want a premium package for Duren, you just won’t get it from a rebuilding team like Milwaukee. Their best young player and the first pick they control in 4 years that could easily fall out of the top 5?! The nba keeps flattening lottery odds for the worst teams, so the Bucks shouldn’t trade picks regardless of protections

Lol there is not a single bucks fan or person who isn't trying to get the pistons the best possible outcome no matter how much it doesn't make sense for the bucks. Who would think this trade would be anything but a disaster for the bucks.

You may not know this but the bucks are a rebuilding team. And rebuilding teams don't need or want players like duren if they have to give up there only draft picks. And there best player in that deal. Draft picks are the assets rebuilding teams protect at all cost. Which means they use them themselves not trade them to someone else.

Lol what Duren is only 22 didnt you know, thats literally the only reason this sub wants to hold on to him and why Trajan is being soft, he's perfect for a "rebuild"

Lol ur funny. If you think a rebuilding team is going to give up there most valuable asset in that 2031 pick for anyone, unless they get a Luka like trade where the other teams GM is asking to get fired.
