I’d like to bring back Jennings, Ilyasova, and Mbah A Moute (if the contract is right for him). Everyone else I wouldn’t really miss too much. But I love the way that Ilyasova plays and every good team needs a guy with swagger like Jennings has. If not for one horrible month this season, Jennings would have had a great year.

@sillybilly Oops! I added a “der” to Henson. ;-(

@sillybilly We have two positions that these guys cover…PF and Center. Dalembert, Gooden the guys with most experience through Henson with no NBA experience. We already moved two power forwards to make room for Dalembert and Henderson. I’m okay with holding these cards for now and see how they match up. There are a lot of minutes, games and injuries to overcome in a season. Let’s hope our biggest problem this year is that everyone stays healthy!

I don’t mind the deal. I am hoping that the Bucks give Jennings his due, or at least attempt to do so.

@flyingking
Yep it was solely Ilyasova’s unentertaining play that led to low attendance figures.

Ilyasova, Udoh, Gooden, Sanders, Henson…..
Are we really planning on keeping all of these guys? Who should we move and how could we get value in return? Offer up your most realistic/entertaining scenarios for daydreaming fodder…

…….I see the Bucks trading Ilyasova to the Nets after they are unable to land DHoward.

Every single one of the above listed contracts, except, perhaps, Anderson Varejao, the team is regretting and they are going nowhere:

Carlos Boozer: Look on ESPNChicago and see all of the hate for this contract. It is completely unmovable and the Bulls made a rash decision when they struck out on everyone else in 2010. The Bulls window may already be closed and part of the reason is that they can’t afford anyone, partly because of this atrocious deal.

Rashard Lewis: Was only worth it the first two years of his deal. Was traded for Gilbert Arenas so the Magic could dump his contract. Huge, huge mistake. Will likely sign for the veteran minimum this year.Anderson

Varejao: Pretty much the only deal that is even close to reasonable, but the Cavs are on a steep rebuild.

Tyrus Thomas: Horrible deal. Was a backup on the worst team in the history of league. Nobody wants him. The Bobcats paid him for his potential and they are kicking themselves. He will likely be amnestied sooner or later.

Hedo Turkoglu: The Magic are demanding that any team getting Dwight Howard must take back Hedo to get him off their books. The Raptors signed him to a completely inflated deal, the Suns traded for him, and the Magic stupidly took him back. He is worth about the mid-level exception.

David Lee: An offensive beast who plays barely any defense. He played in New York, so his career was inflated. He is currently clogging up Golden State’s cap.

We are now paying over $20 million+/yr to our power forwards(and that’s just because I consider Sanders a backup center).. so we have that going for us
