@Teddddd I’ll never forget (before we traded him in 2010 or 2009) going to a game and it was a close one, very good to see live–we won. But during the ENTIRE game, Dan Gadzuric sat at the end of the bench with about two seats opens to his left and righ, just arms sprawled out and comfy. Lazy bastard. I imagined him having like a concessions worker bringing him a couple brats and beer…can you be anymore worthless? …And make 8 million a year. Not that I could see Illy doing that, but a great point nonetheless, Teddddd.

@MatthewSchwendinger i agree 100% Bucks need to put Jennings as priority 1. Plus if Ersan is brought back that hampers the development of Udoh and Henson, with all the PF’s Bucks have I dont think it’s worth giving Ersan “Gadzuric Money”

It’ll be interesting to see if we keep Illysova…sounds like its (mainly) between us and Euro club. I just don’t know if I want the Bucks to use “Brandon Jennings extension $$$” to do it.

Any roster that doesn’t have Jon Brockman on it should be considered a contender.

I believe that the Bucks have a legit shot of 1. making the playoffs and 2. of getting past the first round. Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis are going to be the main offense for the Bucks, Mike Dunleavy is a streaky shooter and if gets going, like we saw in one of the games against the knicks, he can can be a real threat. Mike D kinda reminds me of a Ray Allen. He is more of a spot up shooter. Drew Gooden last year had a bunch of games where he put it up, scoring and rebounding wise. So he proves to be a good asset. Adding Samuel Dalembert was a great acquisition. He is a big body that can rebound and protect the rim. The Bucks didnt have that last year. Ersan is a hustler and can also get it going offensively. John Henson and Doron Lamb are going to fit in just fine. Both come in from winning environments which will help the team. I mean overall you got Jennings and Ellis getting the majority of your points and then you have a pretty good front court and a just a bunch of good role players and being in the East, you never know.

@JustinNixon my guess is Herb Kohl is just holding on to his wallet too tight, he doesnt wanna pay Gooden 21 million or whatever itd be to pay him “not to play” plus he still is productive..he’s productive in an unorthodox way, but productive nonetheless.

I too am a strong Gooden amnesty proponent but Im starting to come to grips with the fact that it is not going to happen…next year I bet it will though…I hope

Can someone please explain why we haven’t amnestied Gooden? It seems to make sense, to take his money and give it to Ersan.. do we really need a 4th power forward?

@PattiRafalskiDavison Gooden is a serviceable PF he will do just fine in Ersan’s place I think Ersan’s shooting last year was a bit of a statistical abberration anyway. If the Bucks sign anyone it’ll be a veteran wing player and hopefully for only minimum contract. No point in throwing MLE money at a guy unless he’s going to get starter minutes and at this point there aren’t many minutes left to give out in the Bucks rotation except at SF

@jeremyschmidt Oh yea I forgot about him, is he even able to come to NBA yet or are there still buyout issues? Hope not because Raptors are looking more and more like the suitors for Nash wit that play they made for Fields, lots of genius GM moves these few days I am very impressed.
