I don’t know if anybody from the NBA office reads these threads, but as a Bucks fan I can say that GTJr’s real value can’t be measured by statistics. This team would be nowhere without his presence.

I’m out of the loop I know he was signed to a deal where he’s being extremely overpaid. Why would the bucks do this? And why is it sketchy?

GarriganGate | TOR

66 | 13 hours ago

He signed for a vet min when he was still a productive player. And did so for a couple years while the bucks were capped out with Giannis and others still on the team.

And then all of a sudden, he gets this massive contract, despite having an unbelievable awful year last season coupled with the fact that the Bucks are rebuilding and that they already have a bunch of other guards who they would want to play more in theory than a washed up GTJ.

Signing for a vet min when you could have earned more from another team, just to compete, with the promise of getting a larger contract once they have your bird rights is obviously not allowed.

cuntas-mefein

Did anyone question it much at the time when he was on the vet minimum?

GarriganGate | TOR

40 | 11 hours ago

Not really. The consensus was that it was a great pick up as he provided good shooting and bench scoring to a team with many large contracts and weak depth.

But people take discounts to play for contenders all the time. It’s more so the issue that he got a $64m contract over 4 years when clearly another vet min is all his market would’ve been.

The Bucks’ “punishment” should be continuing to give him minutes. He was garbage this year, and is still garbage now. Making out like a bandit with an egregious overpay though.

Inspiration_Bear | MIN

26 | 19 hours ago

I like this punishment, feels like the start of a cheesy 90s B-movie sports flick. He has to play 25 minutes in a certain amount of games or they lose all their firsts. Eventually he starts to actually play good maybe. Also there’s a love interest. Maybe a rival who is also a dog who plays basketball. We can workshop this.

The dog will have to be on his team, not a rival. The dog as an antagonist has not been scoring well with focus groups.

Inspiration_Bear | MIN

Ok put him on the team but maybe Trent has to take his minutes even though everyone knows the dog is better, except by the end they figure out some novel way to be better together than apart

All the lawyers investigating this need to do is watch the games, they know this man isn’t worth $64M lol

OmastarLovesDonuts | DAL

I think the best potential defense the Bucks have is saying they missed a decimal point and meant to pay him $6.4 million a year, which is still an overpay but not quite as awful

Timely-Fruit2235

I could do one less point than that for $63,999,900 less. If you want. Will need cash in hand though.

Everyone believed he was actually a good defender + let him try to do more than hit spot up 3s

That’s all he was ever good at. Elite catch and shoot guy, trash at everything else.

Raptors fans swore he was better than Norm though lmao
