Man, I like that you guys are willing to go international, but you are looking at the wrong Lithuanian. Donatus Motiejunas will be a beast and he is much more likely to fall into our range.

@Senior Cabinet Whoa whoa whoa here you have Thorton starting over Salmons, The bucks didnt not give him 5 years 40mil to come off the bench, no way. Absolutly not going to happen.

The bucks need to go after Wilson chandler….A dominant SF who can take it to the rim. Delfino is awful at everything except 3′s. 38% from inside the Arc aint going to cut in the NBA. O.J Mayo would be a great motivator to John Salmons. Get Dragic if the Rockets dont pick-up the option. And Draft a PF who can play the Center position as well. Larry Sanders will be huge in 3 years if not sooner. Trade Corey Magette and Drew Gooden on Draft day to try and get some more picks or maybe a strong veteran. Jeff Green is also a Free Agent so they should attempt to sign him a 4 who can hit the 3 would be great for the bucks. I believe brockman next year will be able to handle a 3 spot at the center very productivly. GO BUCKS!

Any chance the Bucks go after Igoudala?

@Ian I guess I was thinking more of the Jazz who have a gaping whole at the 2 and 3 spot with AK47 leaving, Raja Bell hurt and/or ineffective, and Gordon Hayward needing a veteran voice. I see John Salmons working very well in Utah. I do want to say this on the Orlando Magic in defense of Otis Smith: Rashard Lewis ended up missing the last month or so of the season due to bad knees. The Magic knew this and traded him for Arenas, who they thought could help them more than a chronically hurting Lewis. Vince Carter played terribly in Phoenix and Mickael Pietrus was glued to the end of the bench for most of his time in Phoenix. The only piece they really lost was Marcin Gortat. Overall, Otis Smith made the right move. Arenas, Hedo Turkoglu, Jason Richardson, and Earl Clark for Vince (played horribly), Rashard Lewis (out for season), Pietrus (bad), and Marcin Gortat was a great trade for the Magic. In the end, everyone else got better and they just didn't keep up. Had they not done the trades, they would have ended up in fifth of sixth.

@Josh II Traditionally, bad teams aren't in the market to take bad contracts. Yet, there are always teams that are a piece away with a terrible GM that may gamble with a bad contract (i.e. The Orland Magic this year and Gilbert Arenas). @Senior Cabinet Marcus Thorton is not that good. As for Jimmer, he's the exact type of player that would be a great change of pace guy coming off the bench for a championship contender. A team of the Bucks quality can't afford to grab him. As for OJ, never give up on two things: young point guards and talented headcases. You never know what the right change of scenery can do for a guy.

Seriously, the way it’s looking, the Bucks should see what they can get for the draft pick. As has been stated before on this blog, this draft only features positions the Bucks are already set at, shooting guard and PF. See what other teams, the Cavs come to mind, will offer for the pick and maybe we can dump a contract or at least get someone usable. I can see a sign-and-trade working with either Thornton or Dragic for the pick.

@Senior Cabinet: Let’s allow everyone else to deal with Jimmer. Skiles would never let him play because of how poor his defense is and we already have Salmons, Jennings, and Delfino shooting long jumpers, we don’t need Jimmer doing the same thing.

No no no to OJ Mayo, his attitude is far too selfish (see college scandal, and the reason why tony allen knocked him the F^%k out) no to another corey magette personality.

No to terrence jones, tremednous talent but too much like a poor mans micheale beasly and too close to Charlie V and Yi Jianlion for my liking.

Noway Enes Kanter is falling to 10, nbadraft see him as a smiliar player to bogut, dont make me laugh, 2 inches shorter and a whole lot less athletisicm, not worth a top 3 pick though

Draft, Jimmer we need all the (good) three point shooting we can get, at pick 10 its worth the risk, we dont need an undersized power forward (we have too many) or a flaky three point shooting big man who cant rebound and block shots.

Dump: Kenyon, CDR, Earl (sorry but age and all), Redd, Corey

I like the idea of Goran Dragic (PG), Carl Landry (PF), Marcus Thorton (SG), Jason Smith(C)/Spencer Hawes (C) but PF is too stacked (not in a good way either, damn u Gooden)

Maybe the following (at the right price) glen davis, K-Mart, Joel Pryzibilla,Ronny Tuiaf

Ideally
PG Jennings/Dragic
SG Thorton/Salmons/Jimmer
SF Delfino/Mbah
PF Gooden/Ilyasova/Brockman
C Bogut/Sanders/Hawes

Larry sanders has the potential to be the next Shawn kemp. I would utilize him. Bucks need new coach (not to mention management)…

I really do like Alec Burks. He can score a number of different ways, but that is probably why he won’t make it o 10 once he starts working out. I really like a guy no one is talking about. That man is Donatas Motiejunas. He looks like the next Pau Gasol.
