We’re not assembling a roster. We’re assembling a team. didn’t we learn after this year that we don’t need our team to look good on paper. Even with all their injuries, on paper, there was no way this year’s team should have lost 9 more games than it did. No way to Turner and JR Smith.

@Jeremy Schmidt My problem with acquiring Evan Turner is I think the Bucks would have to sell the farm to get him. He was the second overall pick just one year ago. Despite his mediocre stats, there is no way the Sixers are going to let him go without getting a pretty stellar package in return. Who are the Bucks going to trade? I think their first rounder would probably have to be included, but then what? Does Philadelphia want anything Milwaukee has other than Jennings or Bogut?

@Jeremy Schmidt
Yes price is always an issue whenever acquiring somebody and I don’t think Turner is horrible, its just that I love seeing him on the floor because he’s just so skinny. He and Jennings in the back court would probably be the weakest back court in the league (in terms of upper body strength not basketball skill). Just look at this picture

Extreme example, I know considering Wade is pretty ripped but Turner’s arms are like half the size of Wade’s. More than anything it’s just humorous to me to see a guy that was so good in college to be so average in the pros.

@Ty I get that. As a #2 pick and franchise guy, he's "LOLZ" worthy. But I think it seems like he could be had for the right amount. I don't say, sell the farm for him. But go ahead and kick the tires and see if it would only require a few of the chickens off of said farm. He'd be a better player for Milwaukee than Philly say I.

Ian makes a great point on getting a new assistant coach on the bench. However, if you are going to minimize the role of the SG, you need someone other than Salmons to be on the court. Why not play Delfino at the 2 i guess? Jennings/Delfino/Luc/Gooden/Bogut. god that lineup sucks. we are horrible.
