Yeah, the deal with the Bucks is just silly. They get him signed to a reasonable deal, he spends his first year there playing exactly how they would expect him to play (and really, pretty well) and as a reward they bury him behind Thon Maker.
Who...y'know...sucks.
I guess they're just trying to play as athletic as possible with Giannis being a true freak (one of O.City's unicorns). Monroe is a true 5; an old-school center with good back to the basket skills. Nice feet and soft hands around the rim. He's just not a stretch kind of player at all.
But shit, Kidd was in Milwaukee when they signed him. So what the hell did they think they were getting?
Would the Celtics be interested? Would he be an upgrade on Morris? Slide him to the 5 and put Horford at the 4. He's a short term add but with Heyward down, he might make an interesting addition for Boston if they can make the salary work (no idea if that's feasible).
