Preseason Transactions!
12th October 2005
GM Ty-land announced a major tade at a press conference earlier today. The six player trade between Memphis and Milwaukee establishes the new direction of the franchise, focussing on a 'small ball' offence. The Breakdown of the trade is as follows:
Milwaukee Trade:
C - J. Magloire
PG - M. Williams
SF - J. Welsch
Memphis Trade:
SF - S. Battier
SF - H. Warrick
PG - C. Atkins
In discussing the trade GM Ty-land suggested that Battier would start at Power Forward for this new look Bucks outfit. Ty stated "This trade brings us an all round force in Battier, a young rookie with a huge upside in Warrick, and a dependable scoring threat off the bench in Chucky. I wish the best to Jamaal, Mo and Jiri at their new club, and I thank them for their professionalism."
It was also announced that the Bucks have released Jermaine Jackson, and have accordingly signed R. Lopez as a free agent. Lopez provides a young player with potential that can fit into the role of third string point guard.
