When do we flip the discussion into what's best for the bucks?

I mean, the bucks don't appear to want to have that discussion.

That's I just don't see any roadmap where that's better.

Digging the hole deeper, digging the grave deeper is better than like rebooting the franchise.

It's better for Giannis.

It's better for the team.

And by the way, that's it on the bucks.

John Moran injured elbow injury out through the trade deadline.

I said last week I hadn't found a team that I could say was, like, realistically really chasing John Morant with offers that the Grizzlies would take.

The Bucs, ironically, sort of loomed as the wild card of just, like, how desperate do you actually get to try to fulfill Giannis' desire to win now?

Is that helpful?

I don't love the fit there, but the talent is the talent.

But, like, you've got some guards who dribble now already, but maybe that's over.

And Aaron Gordon...

As long as we're talking rock bottom with the Bucs, it was the exact opposite for the Nuggets to win that game in Milwaukee with so many guys out.

They are now nine and five since Jokic got hurt.

And it's not just Jokic.

Valanchunas has missed almost all those games.

Christian Brown has missed almost all those games.

Almost all of them.
