Vince Carter seems to be the man rumored to be traded, which is why i made a deal with him. Marcus Williams is having a bad year.

Anyway, Yi has an awesome game tonight. 14-17FG, 29 points, 10 boards, 3 assists, 3 steals, 1 block. WOW. If we could just get numbers like that from him everynight, we would be set with the Yi-Redd combo as our future.

Williams just came back from injury...

Vince Carter is an all-star, the best the Nets get back is a guy with no hair.

The Bogutosaurus had 15/11 and 2 blocks in a routine loss to the Bulls.

The Boshlociraptor can destroy the Bogutosaurus anytime.

Hate this team at the moment. Just do something to make it better. Trade Redd for expirings and picks and tank again. Or trade one of young players with potential away for a decent 3. Or sack Larry Harris. Just fucking do something to give fans hope for the future.

Redd scores a shitload of points, Bogut only managed 5, only 3 players in double digits (Yi, Redd, and Williams). Bucks lose again, and the trend continues.

by **Ty-Land** on Sun Dec 30, 2007 5:25 pm

In all honesty, either Redd or Mo has to go. I don't care which one, but you have to have some kind of defensive presence in the backcourt. There is too much money invested in the backcourt to have them be abused defensively game after game. I would personally keep Mo, as he could become a Billups like player where Redd is near his peak. Ship out Redd to a contender and get some expiring contracts, role players, young studs or picks.

I would keep Bogut and Yi, they seem to work well together. Keep Ivey and Voskul as they are playing well off the bench. Keep Sessions as he is dominating the D-League. Put everybody else on the block and see what other GM's are willing to offer.

Our bench is killing us as well. I don't expect Ivey or Voskul to light up the scoreboard, as they are there to do the little things. But Simmons, CV and Bell need to make there shots. Bell is shooting under 30% for the year. That is atrocitious. CV needs to stop hanging around at the 3 point line and drive to the ring. Everytime he does it, something good happens. He also needs to man up and play some D and grab some boards. Simmons needs to improve in every facet of the game. He is meant to be completely healthy now, but is slow and useless. Either start putting in or quit. Your wasting the Bucks money, practically stealing it.

Well i dont know much, because i havent watched many bucks games lately. But i saw some highlights of the bucks vs pistons and charlie bell got picked on a screen and fell to the ground and made absolutely no effort to get back up fast. The bucks should just trade him to the heat for Smush Parker, or trade him somewhere. Bell doesnt look like he wants to be here anyway. It might also be time to fire the coach, already. Especially if we can get a big name. Remember Larry K is really only the guy who was under Stots. So it wont be a big loss if we fire him. Because it still doesnt seem that this team is trying to use Bogut in the way they should. They really need to go to an inside to outside system and try to use bogut and villa in the post. I dont know....Lottery here we come... again.

Derrick Rose or OJ Mayo! YEA!

by **Ty-Land** on Sat Jan 05, 2008 2:44 pm

Everybody besides Yi and Bogut are on the trading block apparently. Seeing this team has decided to quit for the rest of the season, I hope we start tanking again and trade Redd for expirings/picks and some up and comers.

, who do you think Redd is: Kevin Garnett?

At best the Bucks will get an expiring deal for him in return. They wont get draft picks and up and comers unless Milwaukee trades for Larry Hughes and even then that would be franchise suicide to get that guy.

Who do you think Michael Redd is; Raja Bell?

It's not like Redd is just another pretty good SG - IMO he is an all-star caliber player, and a valid first scoring option. He could be the Ray Allen for a team trying to do what Boston did - trading their future for a shot at a championship in the present.

by **Matthew** on Sun Jan 06, 2008 9:35 pm

The Sonics got lucky with Ray Allen. Do you think they would of gotten that deal if the Celtics weren't so desperate to entice KG to Boston? If there was no chance of KG going to Boston I'm 95% certain the Celtics wouldn't make that trade for Allen.

But look at Baron Davis, McGrady, Vince Carter etc. They weren't traded for young up and coming players and draft picks.

And if you think Michael Redd is better then the aforementioned players, then why would you trade him or want him dealt?

Well, I did say that "He could be the Ray Allen for a team trying to do what Boston did - trading their future for a shot at a championship in the present." You are right, the Celtics wouldn't have pulled off the trade if they didn't knew KG was on his way, but that's not what I'm saying.

One of the goals for a GM is to make sure his players peak at approximately the same time - there's no reason for having a veteran player at his best coupled with some young, future stars, who won't peak until he is starting to decline. SO - they should trade for someone who need a star player in his prime, and are willing to trade away som players who COULD become future stars at the same time as Yi, Bogut and possibly CV.

One example could be the Jazz who would definitely be contenders this year if they could get Redd for Millsap, Brewer and a future first rounder.

by **-Young Buck-** on Wed Jan 09, 2008 5:31 am

Is GM Larry Harris under fire? Yes. Would they trade Redd to shed his contract? I'm skeptical. Only because Bucks owner Herb Kohl is not a man of action. I envision a move or two, but not a house-cleaning. ESPN.com

Interesting. however didnt they clean house when they decided to trade away Sam, Ray, and Big Dog? Im not really sure what the bucks should do. But right now its not working and we are heading to another lottery pick. Personally i would try a coaching change for the rest of the season and see if that helps. If not trade some players in the offseason. I think GM larry harris has done a good job, though i read how him and the coach dont talk much.

by **-Young Buck-** on Fri Jan 11, 2008 4:28 am

Apparently Zach Randolph is going to be traded to Milwaukee?

NBA source told me via telephone on Wednesday night that Zach Randolph is on the trading block, and that he's likely to end up in Milwaukee.

Wow, if this is true i dont know who i would want to let go for him. Not bogut, not Yi, not Redd, ....possibly Charlie V, Bell, Mo, ....eh. Im just kind of shocked.

by **J@3** on Fri Jan 11, 2008 4:33 am

What a horrible, horrible trade that would be for the Bucks. Any trade for Randolph would be terrible.

by **Jing** on Fri Jan 11, 2008 5:08 am

Hell no, Randolph is not a good fit for Milwaukee at all, and best he'll be is dead weight. Plus who would the Bucks give up for him, certainly not the likes of Yi, Bogut, or Redd.

by **The X** on Fri Jan 11, 2008 6:19 am

I'd imagine Bucks would give up Villanueva, plus someone like Gadzuric & Bobby Simmons....I don't know....just trying to match the money....surely Bucks wouldn't give up anyone good in such a trade....I don't think gettting Zach is wise though....

by **-Young Buck-** on Fri Jan 11, 2008 6:42 am

They better not be trading redd. I would have to agree with X, possibly something like Villa and others. Yi and Villa are too similar, and if we got Randolph he would at least give us a inside scorer. Mo-Redd-Yi-Randolph-Bogut doesnt seem so bad. Another option is Simmons and Bell, but that would overload our front court i think. I dunno, but Larry Harris is probably trying to make a move to save his job, so this has me worried.

by **Ty-Land** on Fri Jan 11, 2008 10:46 am

Dave Babcock (Bucks Head of Scouting) just said on radio there is no truth to the rumour. Thank god! I would have hated a trade for Randolph at the expense of CV.

Apparently, there is a possible deal on the table with GS where the Bucks would land Pietrus. Doesn't seem like it would help much.
