Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3166609, member: 833"] I think the Warriors are going into a slow decline even if Durant is the only one of their Top4 that departs. Giannis, Bledsoe and Ilyasova are the only 3 of the Bucks Top 7 that are definitely returning. Brogdon and Middleton are free agents, and the Bucks need to sign both. The Bucks problem is that they got Hill and Lopez for virtually nothing. Lopez is going to command a big raise, and the Bucks need to waive Hill by July or they pick up an $18 million year, which they cant afford. Further down the bench, they cant afford Mirotic and they are stuck with Snell. The Bucks best case is Middleton and Brogdon sign for reasonable contracts, which is possible, and they find the next versions of Lopez and Hill, which seems unlikely. The Bucks will still be good if this happens, but they will certainly take a step back. [/QUOTE]
