8-39 and Milwaukee looks to be headed towards the worst record in the league by season's end.

Are they aiming for a top 3 pick in the draft or really that much worse than even other bad teams a few games behind them...?

I would have to think they're just really bad. With a record of 8-39 if they are tanking , they've been tanking from the start which would seem odd.

i dont kno why teams tank so hard for the worst spot
historically the worst record in the league doesnt always get the #1 pick anyways
it's better to be like 3rd worst

They are awful. No one on the team can hit a shot. OJ Mayo might be the only one they have that can create his own shots but the guy takes so many bad attempts that he's not really helping the offense. Caron Butler still has some defense left in the tank but he's always hurt. On top of not being that good the Bucks have been crushed by constant injuries all year. They aren't tanking it but lack of talent combined with injuries isn't going to win many games.

Only 4 teams in Eastern Conference above .500 so if they are tanking or are just Bad what would you say the other 12 Teams are doing?

they are horrific, but at least were smart enough to not keep Jennings and Ellis or sign Josh Smith. they have 2 or 3 decent players at best, but zero chemistry.

ownership and coaching are a complete joke, as is their arena and fans.

team getting sold would be the best thing at this point for the once proud franchise.
