Hawks DID SIGN BB (Bogdan Bogdanović) 4 years $72 million. (UPDATE)

[JTB]

This game really displayed Bogi off ball movement! with also some possessions of him putting it on the floor.

Good stuff. Any videos of his ballhandling/passing?

This is why Huerter needs to get stronger, what we hope he can become when he gets some grown man strength. He has to be able to absorb contact when he drives and for running off screens.

Here's a more balanced game to see from him:

Bogy man can score!  Korver type, younger.  A keeper for the Hawks...

Easy. Trade for Embiid at the deadline this year; then just sign Giannis as a free agent if he doesn't sign his max extension this season and hits free agency. 

Embiid isnt a stretch 5, he just thinks he is...lol

Report: Bucks lowered offer to Bogdan Bogdanovic due to Jrue Holiday trade

Quote

When the Holiday move happened, that ripple effect was this: Bogdanovic then became, for all intents and purposes, a fourth option, which my reporting had beared out that he wasn’t necessarily feeling that. And then secondly, the money – I don’t know the specific numbers – but the money was impacted potentially in terms of once they got Holiday what they could offer Bogdan. And it seems as if whatever agreement was in place before – and Bogdan’s camp certainly, all the way through, said there was never an agreement from him. But he was talking to Giannis on a fairly routine basis. Giannis pushed very hard, wanted Bogdan on that team. As an aside – and I mentioned George Hill a second ago – I was told that George Hill had been recruiting Bogdan before the Holiday trade. And there was a little bit of a sense of, “Wait a minute, man. I thought I was coming to play with you. What happened here?”

Bucks got a little too greedy huh? trying to get both players.  Worked out nicely for the Hawks.

Skimming an article from Dan Feldman.  Says MIL had to lower their contract offer to Bogd due to the Jrue trade.  Probably why he backed out.  Haha, MIL must be letting Budz do some GM'ing. 

Eta.  Dang you, burd.

Whoever is running their Capolgy Dept. needs to be fired....they messed up the Pat Connaughton deal and ended up having to pay him more....heeeelarious!!!

The Bucks are re-signing Connaughton through Early Bird Rights. But Early Bird contracts must be for at least two seasons, not including options. The original deal was for only one season before a player option.

Milwaukee could have signed Connaughton to the original terms through the mid-level exception. Except D.J. Austin then took up too much of the mid-level exception for that.

So, Connaughton will get an Early Bird contract – one worth nearly twice as much as the original deal.

It's like they're trying to make their guy lose confidence in them as a front office.

But I think we'll slowly learn that the Hawks simply made a better offer.

[kg01]

Who's gonna go there and let folks know Bogdan backed out to come play with the better player?

... boom.

Braaaaaaad Rowland had a thread of BB's first presser. My favorite is the Pero connection:

Yup.  The "teams are gonna be in trouble guarding us" quote is great.
