This draft has been as negatively received as any draft in the last ten years. Pundits are saying only two or three of these guys are really going to make a huge impact on the league. Word is that most of these guys are going to end up as role players or guys buried on [...]

I’ll have more thoughts later, but don’t expect much from me this weekend as a friend of mine is getting married this weekend. If I’m not back Sunday I’ll be back Monday with a roundup of the Bucks draft day. For now, I’ll just give it a thumbs up.
We’re heerree. After months of talking and preparation the NBA Draft is set to go down at 6:30 PM Milwaukee time tonight. The Journal-Sentinel predicts it will be Jonny Flynn wearing the green and red hat tonight. Flynn currently leads the mock drafts right now, just edging out Jordan Hill. I expect this to be [...]
From Hardwood Paroxysm: In tonight’s episode, Billy brings home a turtle, and mom is none too thrilled. Sheila wrestles with whether to take Donald to Vickie’s, and Herman has a hilarious mishap at work. Or, we talk to Zach Harper of Cowbell Kingdom, Mike C. from Knickerblogger.net, and Patrick from Howlin’ T-Wolf about the draft. [...]
The Bucks appear to be in spin control after an ugly looking day of trading. Ugly looking to the casual fan that is. Brewhoop has a great breakdown of the Bucks current cap situation Skiles insists the trade was not a salary dump. It was, but it wasn’t at the same time. They didn’t trade [...]
Be here at 5:30 pm central time tomorrow as the TrueHoop Network does it’s (second?) annual blog-o-rama live chat. We’ll be taking all sorts of questions and doing our best to answer them and possibly tell a joke too! We’ll have bloggers from all over the TrueHoop map, so it should be really awesome.
No matter what, it’s likely we’ll be seeing a lot more of both 2008 draft picks next year. If all goes well with the 2009 draft the Bucks should have a terrific young base to build upon with all their new-found 2010 cap room.
I’ll try and update this post a few times as reactions increase. Keep checking back. I’ll attempt to give a heads up when I do it though. Brewhoop and Bucksketball are typically on the same page when it comes to Bucks news, so it’s no surprise that they give an endorsement to both deals. On [...]
2012 Player Capsules: Brandon Jennings
I’m not sure we’ll ever know what happened with Brandon Jennings in early February last season. Milwaukee’s premiere guard was cruising along through the first third of the lockout shortened 2011-12 season. Despite a road heavy early season schedule, Jennings was producing at a level far better than he had in his first two seasons. [...]
2012 Player Capsules: Monta Ellis
There was a trade in the NBA this weekend. You may have heard. The Oklahoma City Thunder made an expectation defying deal that will undoubtedly either end up a brilliant reminder of how smart you have to be to succeed in a small market or a sobering lesson on why small market teams can’t thrive in today’s [...]
2012 Player Capsules: Samuel Dalembert
“I want the team to be one of the top defensive teams. I’ve been to so many training camps and seen coaches focusing on offense, offense, offense. We came here and I’m like, ‘Wow.’ I wanted to hug coach (Scott Skiles). For the first time in seven years, the Milwaukee Bucks starting center isn’t Andrew [...]
2012 Player Capsules: John Henson
From every indication, John Henson is ready to play defense in the NBA. For his sake, I hope that’s true. Because his capability to play defense this year could have quite an impact on his career. Henson is probably going to land on his feet no matter what. He was a very highly regarded high [...]
