[...] made my thoughts on the Bucks signing Ilyasova to a long term contract pretty clear, so I won’t rehash them here. I’d rather take a quick look at how this [...]

Too late…and it’s more money than originally reported. Im starting to think John Hammond is trying to sabotage the Bucks b4 he moves on to whatever his next GM job is

@Teddddd I would be all about bringing in Hinrich. He can play both guard postions(which is a need). He is also familiar with the Scott Skiles system.

@sillybilly Redd was a second rounder as well. It was not my intent to imply that good and even great players can’t be had later in the draft, but the chances of that happening go way down. Bron, Wade, Anthony, Durant, Howard, etc are the top players in the league and all were drafted high in the lottery. I think you also need to consider when Parker and Manu were drafted. The Spurs were way ahead of the curve when it came to drafted international players in the early 2000′s. Today, It is doubtful either guy slips that far. All that being said, I would be thrilled to have had the decade plus of success the Spurs have had.

Sounds like there is currently some interest in Carl Landry right now…I understand that he is a Milwaukee guy and sadly if he were to be signed that’s about as “high profile” a Free Agent as the Bucks can probably land, but it baffles me that they are seriously considering another PF.

Also heard there is interest in trying to sign Kwame Brown, Kirk Hinrich, and CJ Miles as well. I personally think Miles would make sense, there is a need for another 2/3 on the Bucks roster no doubt, Miles is a scorer and if he can be signed for cheap I’d consider that a good pickup.

As for Hinrich and Brown I dont really see how/why that would do anything to help, seems like the Point Guard minutes are locked up right now so unless Beno gets amnestied idk why the Bucks would waste the roster space. And speaking of a waste of roster space…Kwame Brown

What do you think about signing Gerald Green at the 3? Or signing and trading Ersan for Green, Humphries and Brooks?

@sillybilly actually hate to tell ya you are wrong.. the Bucks wanted Traylor the whole time so they worked out a deal with the Mavs pre-draft to protect the pick.. we were picking for them at #9.. Don Nelson was famous for international scouting and we didn’t have the resources like we do now

Courtside analyst did this story earlier this year.. Just Google “Bucks never had Nowitzki”
