Hmmm. A team looking to close out games? Sounds like the bucks! In all seriousness though, strike while the iron is hot. Get rid of Ersan and hopefully get a first round pick. I have confidence that the bucks have no chance of resigning him. Before the season started he was already talking about how he wanted to stay and play in Turkey. Ersan said the next contract he signed was definitely going to be about the money, doesn’t really sound like a contract the bucks would be involved with. Although they do somehow find a way to pay Lrmam $5 million a year.

The roller coaster of being a bucks fan……

I am not opposed to trading Ersan, but here is what concerns me.
1. Pulling the trigger on a deal that nets us next to nothing while robbing of us our best non-Australian rebounder.
2. Considering how well he has been playing of late (i believe somewhere in the 17-10 realm) shouldn’t we at least look at how he and Bogut play together upon his return from injury? If Ersan’s upswing is more than just a month long blip on the radar then that would be a very impressive rebounding combination.

IMO I would want a guaranteed first round pick and a reasonable SG/PF in return.
