Possibly, Lopez, Bobbie P. and Pat C. are trade pieces, but age and value might not net the Bucks much by doing so.The only real way of starting over, is to trade Giannis.  I just don't see that happening.  Doing such would serve to set the organization up with a fan base that stopped buying tickets if instant improvement wasn't seen.So what do the Bucks do?  Right now, they are probably forced to stay somewhat pat with their big 3 and work deals around them for small improvements of the bench.  I could be wrong, but seems every time I checked stats, the Bucks bench was getting grossly outscored by the other teams bench.  That isn't a good thing, especially with the age of the Bucks starters.Firing Rivers?  I'm all for it, but then who replaces him?  Will that coach be better?  Will an offseason help with the chemistry between Dame, Giannis and Middleton?  Will that time give a new HC (or Rivers) and a coaching staff time to study the lineup better and change their coaching methods?I know things look bleak, but we have seen this from other teams, a quick out and then they tear it down.  How does that work out for most of them?I know teams and fans want to win championships, but the bottom line for the owner is money and you don't make money with empty seats.  Trading Giannis and returning the the "old Bucks", might accidently happen with no Giannis.</blockquote>
