This is an era of Twitter, SportsCenter, free agency, and big marketing dollars. Players can find fame and fortune without team success these days, and as long as they have power to dictate which cities they land in, that makes the plight of small market teams that much more difficult.

I think the Bucks challenges have more to do with Kohl’s vision than his spending… you can’t spend your way out of this, cuz with the Bucks valuation (last in the NBA), they can’t afford the luxury tax, and they can’t compete with the PR / Branding benefits of the NY’s and LA’s. You had a good comparison with the Spurs, OKC and the Nuggets. If those teams can figure it out, we should be able to as well. However, remember the Nuggets have NOT been to the finals, and as little as 10 years ago were the worst team in the NBA… finishing 17-65. Why are they one of the top teams in the west today? Because they drafted a stud player (Carmelo), laid out a clear plan, and executed it. When momentum started building, they brought in coach who brought a vision for success, and could finish the job of molding young talent into that vision (Karl, the coach WE discarded, by the way). When Carmelo ultimately wanted to leave and chase the PR glitz of NY, they were bold enough to use the pieces they had (Carmelo & JR Smith) to make smart trades and acquisitions, and they continued to draft well… all within their master vision for the team (unselfish, fast paced, defensive minded). They now have a consistent model of success because they consistently find the pieces that fit their system and vision. What system or vision do the Bucks have right now?

As a side note… interesting you pointed out these 3 teams. Popovich (S.A.) and Karl (DEN) are CLOSE friends… and Brooks (OKC) is a good friend and former assistant of Karl. Should it surprise us that these 3 teams have found success with a personel formula all 3 subscribe to?

Their primary need was in the front court as they needed a player that can draw in defensive in order to give Monta and Brandon more room; however, on the flip side, for a big man man to be effective, he needs the ball, which is problem because both Ellis and Jennings dominate the ball too much and the far from efficient to say the least. If anything, the move will more than likely cause more friction that anything else, sorry to say.

it’s good to get positive. We still have
Sanders already growing into possible stardom
and Henson showing signs of promise. It could
be great to have a sharpshooter like Redick to
go along with one in Dunleavy, who has been
terrifically consistent this season. I’m still
hopeful about Jennings and hope he can mature
into a floor leader who moderates his shots and
takes better care of the ball.

I really haven’t given up on anybody. Let’s see
who steps up with effort, court-savvy, teamwork
and perseverance. I think the fans will truly
embrace such guys, and I hope these will be the
guys that management will reward with loyalty and
generosity.

We can always get more mediocre players with
half-hearted attitudes. Let’s try to find the
guys with heart, hustle, smarts, selflessness…
and, oh yeah, maybe even a fair amount of talent, too.

The Hawks backed out and the Hawks didn’t want Ellis. Why would they take on a bad $11million dollar contract in exchange for a $13 contract? It wasn’t Hammonds fault.

I think Steve from Brew Hoop made a good point. The Bucks have showed Josh Smith that they are interested in him. So for better or for worse, he may still become a Buck. we’re gonna be somewhere around $40 million in cap space this summer. Who gets paid? Jennings? Reddick? A Sanders extension? Even if all of them get signed that still leaves quite a bit of money for the FA market.

Lets root for them. Redick adds a interesting element, Monta and Brandon need that more consistent third scorer on the perimeter. Now we have it. Even though I wish we got Smith, this team can turn into FTD.

They could do what the Rockets did to get Lin and front-load the offer making it difficult for the Bucks to match. I think Hammond really wants to keep him but the amount of money it might take to match could really handicap us from bringing in talent now and in the future. But the bucks like to be mediocre so I bet we pay him a lot and keep him around.
