Bucks are honestly in a pretty rough position right now. The Bogdan trade falling through is a huge issue for them.
Basketball.
See how ********ing hard it is to attract free agents here?
I think that will get better with time as we are a more sustained winner. It is not the location or city etc. as you can just look next door to the Saints and see they have no issues with that. The Saints are successful cause they have their act together. So one can easily assume the same can happen for the Pels in due time.

I think that something you have to consider is player choice.
Sure you can beat yourself up thinking ''oh but we could have had Moe Harkless for $4m...''
But could we? I'm sure the front office didn't just forget that he exists. Maybe he's willing to go play for Miami - a championship contender coming off a finals run - for $3.6m, but wouldn't come to the Pelicans for so little. I can't imagine Griff hasn't done his due diligence on a bunch of guys who ended up signing elsewhere, but decided against them either for roster reasons, for contract length reasons, or because they wanted more to come to a lottery team than to go to a contender.
What's the likelihood we extend Adams? I know ge got an inflated contract back when the cap explosion happened. What is he worth now? 15-17 per year? I'd extend him.
3+1 deal. Getting tired of trading picks for one year rental at the 5.
Harkless turned down more lucrative deals to try and get a ring in Miami. I know they made the finals, but the bubble could of had a lot to do with that. Right now the 76ers look a whole lot better. Boston will be if they can add Ibaka. Brooklyn may be the favorites if they all healthy and able to contribute
Sure but I just think the idea of there being a going rate for a given player is unhelpful, it can make it seem like we're doomed forever because players are just avoiding something failed about the essence of the team, rather than there just being practical preferences that bypass the money.

SWING AND A MISS FROM AINGE!!!!
No Turner for the Celtics now. Should've just took the Turner McDermott deal..
Btw Hayward is becoming a GOAT at finessing money from teams. Not to say he's bad, but 30M a year is overpayed
