Its funny, I was thinkingthat I would like Beno at trade time last year…..

Finding someone to take Salmons and Magette (even though Salmons should have a good bounce back year) was AMAZING

1. Jennings/Livingston/.
2. Jackson/Udrich
3. Delfino/Mbah/Harris.
4. Gooden/Ilyasova/Sanders
5. Bogut/ Brockness

Just get another back up centre to block shots and rebound (shoot occassionally) and were done (Spencer Hawes?)

For the love of Pete, trade, move, or just plain cut Brockman.

@Marq Hammond said he's not necessarily done adding pieces. He said he's always looking to put the best team out there he can. I assume he realized backup center is a weakness right now and could be addressed.

+1 for that. I’m really tired of having power forwards play our back-up Center position. We have one (injury prone) center and six power forwards? Can we move three power forwards for a back-up SG and back-up C? What value could we get for Ersan, Sanders, and Brockness?

I’d still like to see a more adequate backup center than Jon Brockman. The guy worked hard and did everything expected of him, but we need a guy that won’t be vastly undersized and offensively inept every night. Maybe we already have that guy on our team if the frontcort corps can stay relatively healthy this year.

On a different topic, is Ersan Ilyasova a Buck in name only at this point? I’ll miss the guy.

I love it.

Unloading John Salmons god awful contract? Check.
Unloading Corey Maggette’s god awful self? Check.
Acquiring a guy that can create his own shot while still playing within a team’s offense? Check.
Acquiring a good PG to play a Luke Ridnour role on our team? Check.
Drafting a young SG or SF with a strong work ethic and a lot of potential/athleticism? Check.

The Bucks did just about everything I could have dreamed of them doing this offseason just yesterday alone. I couldn’t be any happier. We’re speeding up the rebuilding process while actually getting better at the same time. The only thing we didn’t check off my off-season check list is a backup center, and with our plethora of PFs, I think we can use Gooden or Sanders at the center position to limit Bogut’s minutes some.
