They will forever be just mediocre

 

[Mexi]

I wouldn't describe what the Bucks have as a "core". They have a solid cornerstone in Giannis, and a guy in Jabari Parker who I don't think is a building block, and then a bunch of whatevers.

giannis, jabari and middleton isnt a core?

 

[Paulius]

Mediocre ass core

 

[elcheato]

I think only one of those guys has star potential (well, basically already is), so no, not to me. 

 

[Mexi]

Then idk what defines a core

 

[elcheato]

Every team has their own core, just depends on how good you think it is. I don't think the Bucks one is as good as people want to believe.

Kyrie lbj love

I believe Middleton is an elite two way player and jabari has untapped potential
Not saying sky's the limit, but those are 2 20 point scorers to pair with giannis
Its a good start

 

[Paulius]

Define elite

Define elite

great shooter and a great defender
Middleton is crazy underrated

Even if they want to trade him or jabari, they both have excellent trade value

Define great

Greatest shooter of all time

 

[elcheato]

I'd be more confident in the Bucks future if they didn't blow their cap space on a bunch of mid-level players. 
 
Plumlee, Henson, Mirza, Dellavedova, all on 3-4 year deals, all making around 10 million annually. Why? To be a .500 team?

Mexi mexi mexi
