I understand completely that Dooling needed to be traded away with the surplus of combo guards the Bucks have, but what did they get in return? A trade exception? So pretty much they burnt a 2nd round pick and Dooling to make some cap space? Sorry if I sound sarcastic/ synical, I just don’t understand the value of the move because to me it seems like desperation, would love for someone to break this down.

[...] John Hammond is just making reasonable deals that the Milwaukee Bucks need. Keyon Dooling’s expulsion was necessary. He’d be buried deep in the depth chart anyway and the Bucks could use the [...]

@Ted Given all the changes the roster has undergone now, it seems very unlikely that Delfino would be next to go. The team probably wants to maintain some level of comfort, and we saw Delfino get quite a few minutes whenever he was healthy last season. There's obviously a certain level of trust Skiles has in him that he doesn't have in everyone. @Justin I don't think either Leuer or Sanders really project out as centers. Neither is really made to sustain a pounding, and I know Sanders has a ways to go as a help defender. He's a great shot-blocker, but his awareness was still in question at the end of last season. Leuer comes from a strong program, but he's way to small to be a center right now. If the team wants to win games, they'll likely want a veteran, big man. Even if it is a Jason Collins type.

Am I the only one that is confused by the Bucks looking for a backup center when we have Leuer and Sanders as options? I know they are young, light, and developing.. but the only way they are going to get better is by playing. I think Harris will eventually be a SF, but I think he should get some of the PF minutes this year.

I agree with Avid Bucks Fan I think another trade is in the making and I hope it’s Delfino. I’ve personally never been a Carlos Delfino fan so I would very much like to see him be traded if possible. I think Denver would take him, Nets are in dire need for a SF with Outlaw out. OKC needs a backup for Kevin Durant. Trade him for a pick 1st or 2nd round (whtever they can get best for him) pocket the 3.5 mil and that money will go to matching whatever offer Mbah a Moute gets. And after that I think they could still sign a backup center for veterans minimum Kurt Thomas comes to mind first off for me. And still be right around the cap without having to use any exceptions. Boom there’s your 15 man roster

Nice! I was hoping they would drop Dooling somehow. Nothing wrong with him, he was a great influence on our team. However, Udrih is a far superior back up. He’s an amazing shooter. A lefty Luke Ridinour if you will. I don’t think that Hammond is done, however. He will probably trade away a SF for some front court help. I’m sad to say that, they all have different types of talents. Jackson is a proven scorer and delfino can sure stroke it. Tobias Harris is ‘Melo-esque and Dunleavy can also shoot. I have Delfino is out now that we have dunleavy, i hope not though.
