2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

Maker is honestly the perfect replacement for Favors, and I'd love to get him.

Idk about that... he’s not really good... he only makes shots against us.

58.9% from 2.

33.3% from 3 on 2.2 attempts per game as compared to 29.8% on 1.4 attempts last year.

Career 65.4% from the line. Favors is 66.2% for his career so they’re nearly identical.

8.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.6 blocks per 36.

And he’s only 21.

My main concern would be why is he playing about five minutes less than last year?

There’s no way I’d do it right now but he has a lot of upside still at his age (bigs take longer to develop too)...

Maker kind of a scrub

I think Bledsoe could make a lot of sense for us this off-season. We need shooting and shot creation. His 3 point percentage is below 30% but he’s so damn unstoppable at the rim that he’s shooting over 60% from 2 and has a TS% of 58.2%, which is the same as last season.

Rubio’s best two years were his last two at 53.7% and 53.9%.

He’d give us another shot creator/finisher/scorer we sorely need, he’d fit solidly into our timeline (turns 30 in December), and I think he’d feel more appreciated here (I feel like he’s an afterthought there) and be more invested. All opinion on that obvi, just my gut if I’m him. Oh yeah, I don’t think he’d break the bank either and yet the Bucks may not be able to retain him.

Two reasons: (a) different coach and (b) team in win now mode, not development mode. He's still raw, not good enough for rotation minutes on a good team, he'd be more of a replacement for Tony Bradley than Favors at this point. Would be suited to somewhere like PHX where wins don't matter and he can get court time and develop, which is why he asked for trade - his timeline and Bucks' are out of sync.

LOL. Thin.

Not really sure if he's a trade target for the Jazz or not but it's interesting.

Isn’t he a center, not really an option for the jazz.

Thon Maker is an example of why you dont draft based on mix tapes, gotta like the bucks swang for the stars with that pick though.

Could work somewhere in the rotation but if he is after more mins than he currently gets probably not a good fit.

Thon Maker sucks.
