There's been a bunch of whiteboard and spreadsheet talk on the Gyro Step lately: which players the Milwaukee Bucks can build around, who should the Bucks trade for what picks, who are some free agents Milwaukee could pull off a complicated sign-and-trade to acquire, etc. It's been too long since Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti got to just talk ball. So that's what this episode is: they draft members of the current Bucks roster by simply who they are most excited to watch during the 2026-27 season. Contracts, trade value, and even minutes per game aren't a factor. It's all ball.  Before the draft, Ti and Rohan break down a proposed Jalen Duren sign-and-trade they do not care for. After the draft they talk about Jon Horst probably being able to destroy them in pickup, a fun new episode idea, and if doctors would refuse to perform surgery on Ti if he tore an ACL. Classic offseason podcast. If you want to join the Discord, read Ti's articles, or do anything else related to GSPN, check out GSPN.info Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Milwaukee Bucks are in the news for not making a move, as the Cleveland Cavaliers give up multiple draft picks and Max Strus to secure a Peyton Watson sign-and-trade from the Denver Nuggets.  Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discuss why they're fine not paying that price in assets and cap room for Watson and analyze the teams involved in the draft before moving onto options for Milwaukee to use its financial flexibility, including Bennedict Mathurin, Jonathan Kuminga, and more salary dumps.    If you want to join the Discord, read Ti's articles, or do anything else related to GSPN, check out GSPN.info Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Milwaukee Bucks still need to finish their roster ahead of the 2026-27 season, so Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti each crafted their own predictions on how the Bucks balance the rotation, get down to 15 players, and pick a starting 5 on the latest Gyro Step podcast.  The Gyro Step hosts also reacted to the announced Opening Week and Christmas NBA slate and predicted the number of national TV games the Bucks will receive for some extra fun.

We're officially in August, the driest time of year for NBA news. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti start this mailbag Gyro Step podcast episode by covering "news" including former Bucks signing elsewhere and Kel'el Ware working out with Hakeem Olajuwon before getting to the questions asked by listeners.  Our Discord came through with some awesome questions, including if Jon Horst should still be GM, if Kel'el Ware and Myles Turner can play together, if Ryan Rollins and Brayden Burries have enough playmaking, the trade price we'd want to see to move each veteran on the team, which players we expect to make us the angriest next season, and which Buck will get their number retired next.

The Milwaukee Bucks pursuit of Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson reportedly is ongoing, so Ti Windisch and birthday boy Rohan Katti discussed the latest news around Watson and the price they'd be willing to pay for his services.  After the Watson conversation, Ti and Rohan tried out a new kind of podcast episode on the Gyro Step: going through the 2014 NBA Draft and redrafting the players based on hindsight. Where does Jabari Parker go, and how bad did Milwaukee waste their three picks in what ended up a very solid class? And most importantly, who won the re-draft?!

Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti covered it all in an equally absurd mega pod.

Brayden Burries has dazzled in Las Vegas Summer League and it looks like the Milwaukee Bucks may have gotten a steal at 10 overall. Ti Windisch hopped on for a quick solo pod as he couldn't wait until the next scheduled Gyro Step this weekend to discuss Burries game and how he looks more dynamic on offense than he expected at this stage. We will have a packed episode with more Burries talk, plus cover the Gary Trent (Grent) contract and Tyler Herro altercation next time. It will be special.

The Milwaukee Bucks solved their roster crunch and added a pair of nice 2027 second round picks on Tuesday night, sending Taurean Prince and Gary Harris to take back Caris LeVert and both the Bucks own 2027 second plus the worst of Dallas/Brooklyn's second. Finally a trade had perfect timing for the Gyro Step, so Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti broke down the deal and why they like it before moving onto cover the California Classic summer league. They go deep on Brayden Burries' debut on Monday night plus cover other key summer league players like Bogoljub Markovic and Kam Jones, and then preview the Las Vegas Summer League starting Friday.
