Bucks News

Slam Dunk – All star slam dunk competition is back! Zach Lavine, fresh off the ACL surgery decided his new knee out. “Fuck it, I live for moments like this. Carpe diem”, were his exact words when he was overheard arguing with his doctors. GM Wolf just shrugged; the reality was Zach was almost traded twice last week. Rumors are there’s another very strong option on the table and we might be looking at his last days as a Buck. The competition wasn’t particular stellar. Former Bucks first round pick Rondae Hollis Jefferson, dunks make quite a big part of his scoring, but mostly because he really can’t shoot, Malik Beasley, a big unknown in the dunk competition, and Marquiss Chriss, trying to make us believers in big man power dunks. Zach won, maybe a bit harder than expected. “I can destroy these guys on bum knee, no worries“, was his commentary as he took the Slam Dunk cup to the locker room.



All star game – Bucks have 3 all stars this year. Russell Westbrook is a mainstay for the game, participating for 8^th time (ok, wild guess, but let’s go with that. Then there are two guys that made the first appearance there; well first of many. Karl Anthony Towns should be a lock; he’s featured in MVP watch a lot and gets some mentions for POW every other week. Giannis Antetokuonmpo was a big surprise. He’s having an up and down season, looks like a superstar one game and then next game he can’t hit a barn and turns it over. They’ll probably play limited minutes, but will hopefully dominate the game from the bench.

Injuries – Bucks survived last two, three weeks with injuries piling. First Zach went down with ACL tear. Then it looked like every other game someone got hurt. Iman Shumpert had a knee injury, but returned quickly. Aaron Gordon had a bone bruise or an ankle sprain, but that souldn’t keep him from the all star dunk event, so he got motivated for a quick return. Thad Young is still nursing his sprained wrist. Slowly things should return to normal. Well, normal without Zach.

Trades – Bucks were really proactive and spent most of the year looking to upgrade bench so that it now features the likes of Shumpert and Young. It paid off with an injury to Lavine. Now it looks like Galloway might get waived and that’s another situation the front office would like to avoid. SO far there’s been no luck. Obviously no one wants Indiana’s pick or any of the youngsters thrown around; Davis, Skal and Prince have no value around the league. The search will continue in next couple days, hopefully a solid backup combo guard will come to Milwaukee. Or someone will have to learn to play PG very quickly.
