I will definately be doing some trades soon to beef it up.

[Laxation]

Three trades, including a three team trade, a rarity in this day and age, are being discussed within the ranks.
This trades are not finalised as yet.

The three team trade would consist of the following:

Milwaukee
Gives: Joe Smith and Ersan Ilyasova to Miami, and Reece Gains to Atlanta
Gets: Marvin Williams from Atlanta
If Simmons goes to Philadelphia, then a gap is at SF, Williams will fill this gap.

Miami
Gives: Udonis Haslen and Earl Barron to Atlanta
Gets: Joe Smith and Ersan Ilyasova from Milwaukee
Gives more help to O'Neal through the season as he gets older and takes all the pressure off Mourning during O'Neals injuries

Atlanta
Gives: Marvin Williams to Milwaukee
Gets: Reece Gains from Milwaukee, as well as Udonis Haslen and Earl Barron from Miami
Strengthens the Center and PF positions, as well as some young bang off the bench with Gains.

Other Trades
Gives: Bobby Simmons and Jiri Welsch to Philadelphia
Gets: Steven Hunter and Kyle Korver from Philly
Provides backup to Bogut/Jefferson/Gadzuric in the front court, and a real huge bang off the bench with Korvers excellent shooting.

Gives: Jamaal Magloire to Boston
Gets: Al Jefferson from Boston
Al Jefferson is unhappy with his PT and feels he could get more starting at PF in Milwaukee. Bogut would start at C.


Please write your opinions on these trades

[thaKEAF]

I'm not sure which one to do but don't do the one with Williams, I hate when people trade for top 5 rookies

Yeh im not sure about it either, I sort of just liked the idea of a 3-way trade

Milwaukee vs. Memphis

Not Enough Bang for Your Buck.
Milwaukee Bucks fall to Memphis Grizzlies in late season opener.

With Milwaukees first game falling over a month later than most, on December 2nd, it was already generally accepted that the well-rested Bucks team would have trouble coping with the pace of a seasoned Memphis team, having played games previous to this matchup already.

Andrew Bogut, the number-one draft pick had a slow start, seeming to have trouble adjusting to not only his new position at power forward, but also to the speed and lifestyle of the NBA. As the game wore on, however, he seemed to pick up the pace, pulling down a team high 5 rebounds and 10 points, on 5-7 shooting. His most impressive stat was his blocks, he swatted away 4 shots in his 15minutes, many of the puny Damon Stoudamire trying to drive though the lane.

Bogut's seeming inability to box-out and get rebounds early on was only compounded by the excellence of one Pau Gasol. He scored a team high 12 points, many off put-backs from offensive rebounds, as well as a game high 11 rebounds (5 offensive).

Michael Redd had a poor night stat-sheet wise, shooting only 5-18 from the field, and 5-17 from downtown, yet this was as the Bucks got off to an extremely slow start, and it was all he could do to get back in the game. Unfortunately, he was well guarded by Memphis and was unable to find his shot.

Memphis' deep bench scored many of their points (25), as oposed to the Bucks bench, only scoring 6 points.

Some high-points that can be brought from this game is the excellent pass-first mentality of T.J. Ford, returning from his previous season-ending back injury, and the admirable shot blocking of Gadzuric, Magloire and Bogut, with 2, 3 and 4 blocks each respectively.
Milwaukee defended well, keeping Stoudamire to only 4-20 shooting, and Memphis to under 10% 3-point shooting.

Milwaukee vs. Houston

Milwaukee Fails to Beat High Flying Houston
Game 2 comes around and Milwaukee still not up to par.

The Milwaukee Bucks had no answer today for the magic of Tracy McGrady and his Houston Rockets.

Now on a two game losing streak, the Bucks could only watch as McGrady, Alston and Ming put up point after point.

Gadzuric had a good game off the bench, grabbing 10 rebounds and blocking 3 shots, whilst Michael Redd failed once more to find his shot, and shot only 5 field goals from 15 attempts.

T.J. Ford had a great game, dishing out 7 dimes as well as 2 steals. Milwaukee's bench also played well this game, with Tony Kukoc shooting 6 points and the bench combined for 12 points. Magloire continued his good form with 10points 6rebounds and a block.

The first quarter was scrappy to watch, with both teams under 30% field goal shooting.

McGrady was exciting as always on his was to 11 points, Milwaukee's defence could do nothing but stand back and watch him dazzle the crowd as he slipped through double teams, and performed earth-moving putbacks.
On the other hand, Rafer alston had a poor day of shooting, and while he scored 7 points it was from 3-15 shooting, as he missed many open shots.

With Milwaukees next game against Seattle, they will have to warm up eventually and start to put more points on the board.

Milwaukee vs. Seattle

The Bucks Losing Streak Continues Despite Roster Rearrangements
Hardly expected to gel so quickly after coming to a new team, Korver, Hunter and Jefferson couldn't bring the Bucks to a win.

Rebound the ball, outlet pass, quick pass upcourt to Korver or Redd for an open shot. The plan seemed simple enough, and was executed well except at the shooters end. Failing to put the ball through the hoop was where the Bucks fell apart.

The trio of Lewis, Allen and Ridnour took apart Milwaukee as Seattle won by 10 points on the momentum of a 15-6 second quarter.

Milwaukee defended well, yet not as well as Seattle who managed to keep the Bucks' shooting under 30% for the game, as well as under 20% from beyond the arc. Milwaukee never really were a chance to win this game with shoot selection like that. Jefferson and Bogut combined for 1-10 shooting, Korver and Redd combining for 6-27.

Once again, Gadzuric played well off the bench scoring 6 points as well as 5 rebounds and a block. Bogut blocked blocked well, swatting 4 shots as well as passing extremely well for a big man, and Jefferson played his role of rebounding nicely with a game high 9 rebounds, as well as 2 blocks. T.J. Ford had another good game, who didnt miss a shot and had 2 steals, but only 1 assist. He is required by the game plan to make at least 5 assists a game.

Thanks, I'm hoping one day Jefferson will become a superstar, but his stats dont seem to look like he will.
Next year could be Milwaukee's year, unless they shape up

Good dynasty so far, hopefully the new trades will help get the Bucks their first win.

Thanks
Unfortunately it didnt... but we should come up with a win soon

Milwaukee vs. Denver

Bucks Run and Gun Gives First Win
The fast moving offence of Milwaukee runs over Denver.

In the second game with the recent additions to the team, the chemistry was as if they had been playing together for years. Korver was hitting shots (5-7 from the field), Ford was dishing dimes and the defence of the center and power forward rotation was exemplary. Redd still failed to find his shot, shooting only 2 of 8 from long range.

Denver nearly came back in the fourth, yet Milwaukee was able to hold on to win 58-50, their first win for the season.

Camby was in great form, scoring 8 points and grabbing 14 rebounds, and was a good match for Andrew Bogut who had 10 points and 6 blocks. Camby kept Bogut down to only 3 rebounds, and the Nuggets won the rebound battle 26-19.

The young duo of Kenyon Martin and Carmelo Anthony played well, each of them scoring with ease, the defence was no match for them when they decided to turn it on. Unfortunately, the dynamic outside scoring duo of Michael Redd and Korver combined for 29 points, half of the Bucks score.

Miller had a terrible game, only hitting on 3-28 shots, Denver could only look on in dissapointment as he tried to shoot over defenders, and attempt to drive in, without reward, past the exciting shot blocking combination of Jefferson and Bogut. Milwaukee had 12 blocks for the game.

For the first time, Milwaukee played according to their game plan, hitting open shots in quick transition from rebounds or blocks.
Hopefully they can continue their good form in the next game against the L.A. Clippers.

Bucks First Winning Streak
A memorable finish to a fantastic game.

Milwaukee's second win of the season went right to the wire, a sensational 15 foot buzzer beater by Michael Redd put the Bucks ahead by one, seconds after Clippers thought they had it won through Brand, who hit 2 free throws with 8 seconds left to put the Clippers up by 1.

With 6.5 seconds left, T.J. Ford stole the ball off the inbounds pass, and quickly dished it to Redd, who dribbled to the free throw line and sunk the jumper on the buzzer to win the match by one point.

This match was set up by the unconscious shooting of Michael Redd, with 24 points off 10-16 shooting, and the centimeter-perfect passing of T.J. Ford, with 11 assists.

Andrew Bogut had his best game of the season, recording 12 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks, whilst keeping Chris Kaman to only 2 points and 5 rebounds.
Elton Brand played magnificently, holding Jefferson to only a single rebound, whilst scoring 12 points himself and grabbing 6 rebounds.

The Clippers guards, Mobley and Cassel combined to score 34 of their 58 points, Cassel with a season high 23 points.

As with their last win against Denver, Milwaukee's gameplay went to perfection, Jefferson scoring easy points with a quick transition basket, not to mention the amount of 3 pointers put up.
Unfortunately, when your gameplan is to block or rebound the ball for a quick outlet pass, sometimes you are going to be posterized.

Milwaukee looks to continue their winning streak against the Detroit Pistons in game 6.
