My current situation: Drooling over thinking of the highlights that Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker will have this season.

The talent is there, despite losing Khris Middleton for most of the season. If Jason Kidd decides to run a point Giannis lineup night-in and night-out, his stats will balloon, but unsure if it will translate to the number of wins needed to make the playoffs.

This team could look much different in coming weeks, as Michael Carter-Williams and Greg Monroe have been constantly been in trade talks through the offseason.

From the Kings to the Pelicans, the Bucks cannot seem to find a suitor for MCW. Both him and Monroe turned one of the league’s best defenses to one of the worst. I expect a lot of John Henson if Monroe’s defensive struggles continue (which they will).

Two rookies with high potential in Malcolm Brogdon and Thon Maker, but Milwaukee and NBA fans may not see the two crack the rotation much this season.

Cannot forget about Michael Beasley and Mirza Teletovic. Both were acquired to solve the three point shooting woes, so expect them to let it fly.

The jersey color combination of green and cream accompanied by blue trim was instilled starting last season, but the alternate black jerseys and two different courts spices things up once in awhile from the same old normal routine.
