you might seriously wanna consider redesigning them then (or have someone do it for you); otherwise those games and recaps are gonna feel twice as cumbersome especially if you're not even feeling the uni's to begin with

ESPN wrote:Bucks Shake Up Roster With Blockbuster Trades!
Only weeks into the season the Milwaukee Bucks have already made three blockbuster deals, that has turn them from Chumps to Champs!
Deal 1:
Milwaukee Sends
Desmond Mason/TJ Ford/Joe Smith
Clippers Sends
Elton Brand
This deal works out for both teams, the Bucks receive a much needed All-Star and inside force, while the Clippers acquire young and veteran talent that gives them depth.
Deal 2 :
Milwaukee Sends
Recce Gaines/Calvin Booth/Daniel Santiago
Memphis Sends
Paul Gasol
Looks like Memphis is looking to rebuild, or atleast bulk up in depth, because other than that, the only winner of this trade is the Bucks.
Deal 3 :
Milwaukee Sends
Paul Gasol
Boston Sends
Paul Pierce
Both teams upgrade with this trade, the Celtics will get a much needed big man in Gasol, while the Bucks get a wingman who can run the floor, and do everything else that Redd & Brand cannot. With Gasol leaving it is evident Ricky Pierce has big things in mind for rookie Andrew Bogut.
Deal 4 :
Milwaukee Sends
Zaza Pachulia/Dan Gadzuric
New Jersey Sends
Richard Jefferson
After this deal the Bucks are down to 10 players, as they have traded 8 away and only received 3. The Bucks have also traded every center they had except Bogut, which leads us to assume he will be playing the bulk of the minutes. In addition to that the Bucks only have 411K left of cap-room, which will be tough to work around if they feel they need to add depth later in the season, however only time will tell.

As the season began, the Milwaukee Bucks looked once again like a bottom-feeder in the east. However with the hiring of new Head Coach, Ricky Pierce and new General Manager, Shaun Alexander, change has surely been brought to Milwaukee. Pierce and Alexander wasted no time building a contender, making moves to bring Elton Brand to Milwaukee. Only days later Alexander would then make a move for Spanish forward Pau Gasol. However Gasol was later dealt after one game for swingman Paul Pierce. Already having three All-Stars in Micheal Redd, Elton Brand, and Paul Pierce, Alexander made one more move to acquire star wing-man Richard Jefferson. Now with this All-Star cast, the Bucks are looking like a serious contender, and are still undefeated through five games. What will the rest of the season bring? That's a question yet to be answered, but one things for sure, its guaranteed to be a wild ride to the playoffs.

That trade is much better than the one Memphis made in real life.
