I thought because of the trade we were higher than that, like 11th or something?

Look at the elite SG’s in the league. Leave the 6’4″ or 6’3″ guys to somebody else. We’ve tried that with Charlie Bell and Jodie Meeks. Didn’t work.

Guys like Iggy, Gay, etc etc. Price tag too high for the Bucks. They only have slightly over $20mil to work with and need to fill at least 6 rosters spots with that. Even though I mentioned David Lee, he’s only attainable if the Bucks don’t keep Salmons or Ridnour.

Game 5 was won with Skiles going with his gut & leaving Brandon in eventhough he was struggling. Game 6 the in & out subbing of BJ that was questioned by the commentators I felt ruined the momentum. When Ridnour isn’t scoring he doesn’t get people involved. That gruesome 3rd qtr was lead by Luke. The subbing of BJ which lost us that game in the regular season I felt cost us the pivotal game 6. Further evidence of what some can say are Skiles flaws. We all have some due to being human. I’m a hater & Skiles can be wrong sometimes. How many games did Skiles lose for them this year along with Jennings,Bogut or Salmons.

What lesson was seriously taught by dressing an injured Bogut. Why wouldn’t Charlie Bell the competitor that he is not want to play. He could have helped & spelled some minutes. When your undermanned you don’t suit up an injured player. When is the last time Charlie Bell & Ben Wallace of all people. Have you heard getting into with coaches. That could mean Skiles is a just a tad high strung. A little childish & ego driven to me. This I feel will hold Skiles back from being a great coach. You have to know which battles to fight & let go. Charlie Bell. Who else found it odd that Bogut was dressed.

For 2010-2011 the bucks need a legit starting 5. Luc Richard is not a Starter. Neither is Ilyasova of Delfino. We need a scoring 2 guard who can defend. Salmons or better. Rudy Gay or Iggy would be ideal but expensive. Could use Terrance Williams or Wison Chandler for cheap. Even Gordon Haywood from Butler. The tough part is a lot of players wouldn’t want to play for Skiles. Josh Smith would be ideal for this team. We need a rebounder & shot blocker. We need some grit like a Milsap or Landry. Shaun LIvingston no wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Eddie House why not Patty Mills or JJ Redick. We need a sharp shooter. Adam Morrison or try for Chase Budinger & Kyle Lowry for toughness.

Ronnie Brewer would also be a good option for the 3. Would even use Ariza instead of Luc Richard. Kevin Love no pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee. We need talent. I could see David Lee that would work. Also taking a flyer on Nick Young might work. Tayshawn Prince for a year if he has anything left in the tank. I’d also bring a Boobie Gibson in for experience & shooting prowness. That kid doesn’t miss open jumpshots. Go after Anthony Randolph or Biedrins even Brandon Wright. They spell that 4 spot. Tyrus Thomas would work as well. Michael Dunleavy & in the draft Luke Harongody if available or Ed Davis from NC. Mcgee or D’Andre Jordan from the Clippers would help for Athleticism.

Jarvis Varnado from Missisippi St & Domenique Jones from USF & Damion James from Texas should be on our radar. Bill Walker from the Knicks. Jordan Crawford is super talent that I think Jennings would make into a immediate weapon. Devin Ebanks would fit nicely or we could go after Earl Clark. Sean Singletary,Daryll HIll,Quinton Holsey,Andre Barrett,Omar Cook are on waivers & await an N.B.A. callup. All those names are better than anybody currently in the DLeague. They are abroad making more money. That is why the names may not ring a bell. Anthony Mason Jr should at least get a work out. He won’t cost you anything & you’re getting a 6’8″ wing that is a streaky as the best scorers in the league. Think Jr Smith & Ricky Davis w/o the baggage or attitude. N.B.A. pedigree in the jeans & the toughness from his father. Even Patrick Ewing Jr. Who is Luc Richard but more athletic & probably a very similar defender. All cheap hired help that would have this team ready for war next year. DJ Augustin we could also field for cheap.

Constructive Critiscm is only bad when a person’s ego is bigger than themselves. You could learn so much from listeining to people other than yourself. I do that’s why I love blogging. Reading the comments & opinions of others. Is more knowledgable than you think. Especially when someone knows what they’re talking about. We all have some strong & weak points at time. End of the day it is all opinion most of the times. Had a great year following the Bucks & you’re write ups Mr J. Have a great summer & good luck in the draft.

FEAR THE DEER IS DEF. THE MOVEMENT FOR NEXT YEAR. THIS YEAR WAS JUST A TEASER & THE PRE-QUEL FOR MUCH MORE.

The Bucks pulled off a few victories that not many saw coming, but when focused, Atlanta was just too much for the Bucks to handle. … Salmons collapsed over the last three games for Milwaukee. No longer was he attacking the hoop and getting free throws, he was just settling for jumpers. It was as if everything that had happened during the regular season never happened. If this was the John Salmons that the Chicago Bulls shipped out this season, I can see why.” [...]

Al Jefferson’s contract is way to big and way to long for the Bucks to even consider that option, not to mention the trouble he’s having playing along side of another post player.

-David Lee in FA could be a really good option cuz he’s 26 y.o. can score, hit the J, and board.
-Kevin Love might be a good option too. Great rookie salary. Jennings AAU teammate.
-Michael Beasley? Think Skiles could get to him? He’s got at rookie contract that has team options so he could be released or kept.

If they have to part ways with Ridnour
-Eddie House
-Shaun Livingston

I expected a 30 win season and back to the lottery. Bogut and Jennings are amazing players, just hope that Bogut can avoid any more back troubles or freak accidents and finally play a full season while he is still at (or almost at) his prime.

15 seed in the draft courtesy of the bulls, hopefully a nice player falls to us.

Also, is it too much to hope that Joe Johnson obtained sudden respect for Milwaukee in this series and may consider signing with us this summer? He’s a reliable option in the playoffs.

The team made a great run and left room for improvement with tons of motivation for the offseason.
