What do yall think about a trade package with Franz for Giannis if Bucks lose to Pacers? Maybe open trade discussions with Franz, Moe, and a few first round picks (Both 2025 picks and 2026). I would be willing to add another future draft pick on top of that and include any 2 of the following players if the Bucks give us back one more player (either Bobby Portis, Gary Trent, Kyle Kuzma or Kevin Porter): Gary Harris, Wendell Carter, Ethan Thompson, Cory Joseph, Jett Howard, Caleb Houston, KCP, Trevelin Queen, TDS, Mac McClung

Need to fire Mosely and entire coaching staff. Zero offensive creativity, terrible in game management, terrible lineups, and is a beta personality coach. Get me Rajon Rondo, Steve Nash or see if we can pry Jason Kidd away from Mavs. This team is soft and has no fight which is a direct reflection of the coaching staff. If we had Ime Udoka or Joe Mazzulla as a head coach, we would be top 4 in the East this year and be an actual threat. Team doesnt fight for loose balls and doesnt hustle in key moments. I think the players all have potential but lack of leadership in coaching. Getting Moe and Suggs back will help us. They both got that dog in them to bring toughness. All that being said, I think we get at least one win in Orlando against Boston. Players I want to keep: Paolo, Franz *, Moe, Goga, Jalen Suggs *(Franz needs to show me something in the playoffs. Reason we lost game 7 last year and is not playing well in 2 games in Boston.) Players I am okay letting go but would prefer to keep: Anthony Black, Cole Anthony, Jonathan Isaac, TDS, Trevelin Queen, Mac McClung Players I want to let go/trade: Gary Harris, KCP, Wendell Carter, Jett Howard, Caleb Houston, Ethan Thompson, Cory Joseph

I think its on the coaching staff with the preparation in off season and in season shooting. KCP was a great shooter and came to this team and is below average. Only person who has gotten better at shooting under Mosely's reign is Suggs. I could be wrong. I watch a decent amount of games but you probably watch more and know more than me.

Sorry to be that guy and disagree, but I think its better to get playoff experience against the elite teams and get swept in epic fashion so our entire roster has an idea the level they need to play at to be the best, than to go up in the draft rankings by a couple spots. This will help the entire team prepare for next season and beyond. A good ass whipping would be good for this entire team to prepare better and work on their game (especially Palao and Franz). If we got a top 3 pick in this years draft, it would be worth it, but that is a huge risk.

I actually blame Paolo for a lot of our losses. He is trying to do to much and be the hero at the end of games and forces shots. He is trying to get his stat wise and is putting up good stats at the expense of wins. He is a great talent and will be a top 5-10 player in this league in the next 5 years but I blame coaching for not managing him well at the expense of losses. Perfect example against the Miami Heat he is single handedly the reason we lost that game. He was forcing shots and it was clearly not his night and we went to OT and 2OT and he was forcing terrible shots that lost us the game. Franz played great that game and kept us in it to 2OT. Memphis game he forced shots too and poor coaching for not calling a time out at the end! I give Paolo a pass. He is the guy (as well as Franz) and needs reps at trying to win the game and almost did it against the raptors the other night but when it is detrimental to the team, the coach needs to bench their best players and just say "hey its not your night, you'll get em next time". Its understandable coming off missing most of the season. He is and will become an elite player, he just needs to let the game come to him and not force the game. Cole Anthony isnt good on defense but he is a bucket and can orchestrate an offense given a greater role. I think Mose has something personal against him that has hindered his growth. JI hasnt been shooting well but they need to play him more than the 16.3 minutes per game that he is averaging. I get it that he is an injury liability but why not push him to his limits at this point and see what happens. Was great 4 years ago when we were building the team around him before his bad injuries. If he was given a bigger role I think he would shoot himself out of the slump. I agree with WCJ. He is good for some rebounds but never going to be a top 100 player. Losing Mo is a huge loss for us. He is our enforcer and sets the tone for every game. Mosely and the way the coaching staff operates under him are the problem. Fire Mosely and see what one of our assistants can do as an interim to develop for the rest of the year. Sacramento fired Mike Brown this year and they are doing great with their interim.

I think our roster is a good roster despite everyone wanting to trade our players. Just poorly coached. Strength and conditioning let them down with all the injuries we have had to a young deep team. Also shooting coach should be expelled from coaching in the NBA lol

I would be cool with SVG or his brother Jeff. Maybe bring back Scott Skiles if he would have any interest. I would even bring back Jaq Vaughn. I would gauge former players interests in coaching: Rajon Rondo, see if Steve Nash wants to try again (most former players are successful coaching on 2nd and 3rd attempts--Jason Kidd), maybe Jameer Nelson? See if any big name coaches would be interested in NBA (college is risky bringing up except for an alpha like Dan Hurly), In the meantime we should fire Mosely. I like him as a person but this team is so weak mentally and needs a change. He may be a good coach in the future but we need to try to make noise this season in the playoffs and with him as coach we will miss the playoffs. We should make one of our assistants interim head coach and see what he can do with the team for the rest of the season. We need a shake up!!!

We have all the talent and skill for the team but an inexperienced coaching staff that I dont want to waste a talented rosters window. If we had JJ Redick, Mazzulla, Udoka or Kerr this team would be at 40+ wins even with all the injuries.

I want Mosely fired ASAP. This team is unprepared and soft and it is a reflection of its leadership and preparation. I want a coach like Joe Mazzulla, Ime Udoka (his basketball intelligence, not his character though). I'm cool with having an interim for the rest of the year to see if he can shake anything up like the Kings who have won a lot more games with their interim. At the end of the season see if there are any promising head coaches on the market.

We need a new coaching staff. Id be cool if we fire Mosely now and see if the interim can do anything like what happened with the Kings this year and look for an alpha coach in the off season like Dan Hurly.

Mosely is an okay coach and can grow to be a good coach in the league, but we should look to make an upgrade for an elite coach like Dan Hurly or someone else. The success of this team is more about our deep and talented roster than coaching. Ime Udoka is an example of an elite coach that gets the most out of his team. With this roster we should be better than the Rockets. Injuries havent been kind to us this year I think the number of injuries is attributed to poor conditioning and coaching. Our shooting seems to be improving these past two games due to a more cohesive team, but I think our shooting coach needs to change.

I feel good about tonight. I think the team was in their heads with the losing streak. I think we have a chance. Need Paolo to keep improving and I think he will continue to get the rust off and get closer to the elite way he started the season.

I believe it really is coaching issues. Our team has some dogs on it, but I think they have been mismanaged. The media really thought highly of coach Mosely last year and he seems like a nice guy and the team seems to like him, but I dont think he is really doing a great job. He gets credited for instilling a good defensive team, but I think it is the talented young roster we have that is the reason we are good on defense. I am all for coach development as I am for player development, but I want an alpha coach that is an offensive guru. I dont see why Houston's team is doing better than us. I believe our roster is better than there's but Ime Udoka is an alpha that gets the most out of his players. JJ Redick is getting a lot out of his LA roster. I would like Dan Hurly, or maybe give Steve Nash another shot at coaching. Jason Kidd didnt last long with Bucks or Nets but is doing a good job with the Mavs. Maybe see if any other elite former players look promising to coach. I'd like to take a shot on Rajon Rondo if he is willing to coach. That man is a basketball genius. Even see if Mark Jackson or even Scott Skiles would be down to coach again.

Im cool with standing with our roster, unless we got KD. Our roster is not the problem. The coaching staff isnt as great as they are perceived to be. Why are the young players getting hurt a lot? The knicks with older players who average more minutes havent had nearly as many injuries. Shooting coaches really need to improve. Threes and free throws are especially terrible. Can only improve our shooting. The lineups that we put out are not great. Need to bench players who are struggling. The game against the Heat, it clearly wasnt Bancheros night. We should have benched him at the end of the 4th quarter before OT. He single handedly lost us the game (he will be elite and our best player, just cant afford to take the L's). Need Cole to play more minutes. I think Mosely doesnt like him which is stupid. Team will get better this season. Paolo has been struggling after injury but finally played better last game. I think he will get better because he is that dude. If we traded any players, they would have popped off on their new teams and made us look stupid. If he cant improve, I think firing Mose may be better for us and looking for an alpha coach in the offseason. Maybe we could pry Dan Hurly. We wont but that would help us.
