    Maybe because he’s a 4 and not a 5 which he has maintained. That’s why him and Adams have played so well with each other because it puts him back at his natural position. And no it’s doesn’t clog the paint because of the attention Adams draws which allows Sengun to work. People disappointed that Sengun isn’t a lob threat or rim protector is misplaced.

    I really can’t believe how anyone sees Sengun as a PF. He doesn’t have an outside shot (at least yet) and can’t guard in space. He would get eaten alive by almost any PF in the league defensively. Double bigs that can’t shoot and guard the perimeter is a disaster in the modern NBA. Adams is not a starting level center anymore. He isn’t even a good backup center, because he can’t stay on the floor in crunch time and because of his inability to stay healthy.

    Amen and picks for Giannis, confirmed? It would still be a dumb trade but makes more a lot more sense than the ludicrous Apli for Giannis.

    You Amen haters are dreaming. The Rockets won’t even take calls for Amen.

    Amen hater???? I have said over and over I want to keep Alpi, Amen, and Reed for a home grown big three. I feel confident Alpi, you know our best player, is the one who is least likely to get traded. The picture with Alpi hanging out with Giannis made me wonder, not seriously wonder, if they did want Giannis here what would they give up and since I feel confident Alpi isn't going anywhere, Amen would be the only one.

    Why do you feel that Alpi isn’t going anywhere considering most of the rumors are him being traded?

    He is our best player. The so called "rumors", are not coming from the organization. As for the Giannis rumors, the Bucks would love to get such a young talent to build around so those rumors may have started from them. Alpi is the best player we drafted in our rebuild and is on a trajectory similar to Jokic (not saying he will be that good but he is currently on the same trajectory at the same age). Trading him before he reaches his prime would be a monumental mistake. I guarantee the team believes the same way. I want to keep Alpi, Amen and have a strong hunch Reed will turn out to be the last part of our big three but it starts with our best player, Alpi.

    I agree after being an all-star and still not even in his prime yet it would be a big mistake to trade him, but Stone is going to Stone, and I feel like Ime will be driving the ship Bill O’Brien style.

    The only significant trade Stone has made lately was the Phoenix trade last year. He is not super trade happy. Getting rid of Jalen was not a bad thing but who they traded him for was a disaster. Dickerson is a cancer that desperately needs to be removed this offseason. Ime is also part of the problem considering he is an absolutely pathetic offensive coach. We need a coach who can coach on both ends of the court.

    lol. That the Bucks target is Sengun. I like Sengun, but you are through the roof, with his idolation. Sure they’ll take Sengun and another 30m in salary plus 3-4 frps. I’d love that too, if I was the Bucks.

    Alpi is not going anywhere and you talking about someone being "through the roof" for one of our players is absolutely hilarious. You might want to take a long look in the mirror.

    You're more a Sengun nut hugger than Amen hater. Remember ALL the criticism I posted & called it trolling? Well all of showed itself this playoffs against the Lakers. But instead of admit how much of a idiot you are, you're deflecting onto Amen smh
