@Brett Yule This team won't be contending, at least not for a title, until it can get a certifiable star. Landry and Butler are nice players, but they are role players. Neither makes or breaks any team's title chances unless that team contains a couple of superstars already. @Justin Both Leuer and Ilyasova are coming to camp, but we won't really know where everything stands with them until the ball tips this season.

@Brett Yule Brett I agree I would very much like to see both those players on the Bucks Roster but financially it just isn’t gonna happen for them. Butler looks like he’s going to be making at least 7 mil a year that alone would but the Bucks over the cap. Landry is probably worth right around a MLE but in this incredibly weak Free Agent market, players are going to be greatly overpaid. And the Bucks only have about 5 mil to spare if I’m not mistaken and that money is gonna end up going to LRMAM and a veteran minimum or player minimum backup Center if they feel they need one

I realize where a small-market team but I still think signing Caron Butler and Carl Landry would make us into contenders. Landry would ease the help Bogut recieves down low and Butler would add a solid scoring output at the wing.

Plus I keep hearing that they feel the need to sign a backup Center so somebody has to go and they’re not using the amnesty clause (which is wise to pocket it in my opinion)

i know that Leuer opted out of his contract with Germany so I assume he’ll be on the Roster but I won’t be surprised if he spends most of the season in the D-League. That’s another reason why the Bucks might let LRMAM go. They are running out of room on the bench if you count Hobson they are already at 15 players

Can someone answer this? Are Ilyasova and/or Leuer playing for the Bucks this year?
I for one would love to have Butler, because his offensive skill set would work well on any team, assuming he doesn’t shoot too much. That being said I really like the lineup of Jennings, Jackson, The Prince, Gooden, and Bogut.. because of the scoring ability in the backcourt and the defensive capabilities in the frontcourt

I would love to see the Bucks land Shane Battier. He has the highest IQ of any player in the league, I think he’d get along well with Skiles and the rest of the squad, I’ve never heard anyone say a negative thing about his personality. I think he would be a great addition to the Bucks. Sadly I think Battier is a bit out of the Bucks spending range and he could create a bit of a log jam at the 3 for developing players like Harris and Hobson. But I think that if the Bucks want to be the most competitve team they can possibly be this season Battier would be the player to help them the most.

I for one do not lament the lack of interest in LRMAM. The last thing we need is the price getting driven up on him. I don’t think Caron Butler would be a good fit on the team, seems like that might be a chemistry issue that we wouldn’t need. I know he’s not normally known for that, but he seems like the kind of guy who would demand a thing or two where we wouldn’t need him is all.
