The Bucks opened up their Summer League schedule with a victory, defeating the (Anthony Davis-less) New Orleans Hornets 76-68. The Bucks were led by rookie Doron Lamb (20p/4r), current roster member Tobias Harris (19p) and relative unknown Jarrid Famous (13p/11r). So yeah, basically who you thought was going to star, right? Both Lamb and Harris [...]

Some time tomorrow, Ersan Ilyasova will sign a fairly sizable contract with the Milwaukee Bucks. When he finishes putting his name down in cursive, he’ll be the third highest paid player on the Milwaukee Bucks. This won’t be the first time the Bucks have given big money to a young reserve in hopes of better things down the road. [...]
(I assure you, it’s not all hellfire and brimstone around these parts. And to prove it, new Bucksketball addition Jon Hartzell takes an optimistic look at how Ersan Ilyasova’s probable re-signing is quite all right. There’s room for a divergence of opinion, even if I make it seem as though there isn’t. – JS) The [...]
UPDATE: Gery Woelfel is reporting the fifth year is an option year, making this essentially a 4-year, $36 million deal. Not as bad. Still … meh. Well, here we are. Reports have the Milwaukee Bucks near a contract agreement with Ersan Ilyasova. More specific reports have the Bucks near a five-year, $45 million contract with [...]
Various reports have the Milwaukee Bucks are pretty serious about keeping Ersan Ilyasova and the previously quiet market for the free agent getting pretty active. Wednesday morning, Gery Woelfel tweeted that the Bucks had offered their power forward a five-year deal. Wednesday afternoon, Adrian Wojnarowski followed up, confirming that the Bucks had offered Ilyasova a [...]
(Today, Eric Buenning tells us why a contract extension for Brandon Jennings is just what the Bucks need. Tomorrow, I ruin everything. – JS) I may not be in the majority here, but I feel strongly that the Bucks should try to keep Brandon Jennings. Jennings and the Bucks should start talking contract extension soon [...]
Today, GM John Hammond announced the 2012 Roster for the Bucks’ Summer League, slated to take place in Las Vegas from July 16-22. The Bucks’ most recent draft picks John Henson and Doron Lamb will be there, as well as current Bucks players Tobias Harris and Larry Sanders. The Bucks are high on all four [...]
Samuel Dalembert. John Henson. Doron Lamb. Some defense and shot-blocking, more defense and shot-blocking and a shooter to balance out the Milwaukee Bucks haul around this year’s NBA Draft week. The Bucks were fast and more athletic than they had been in quite some time by the end of last season, but they were not [...]
2012 Player Capsules: Brandon Jennings
I’m not sure we’ll ever know what happened with Brandon Jennings in early February last season. Milwaukee’s premiere guard was cruising along through the first third of the lockout shortened 2011-12 season. Despite a road heavy early season schedule, Jennings was producing at a level far better than he had in his first two seasons. [...]
2012 Player Capsules: Monta Ellis
There was a trade in the NBA this weekend. You may have heard. The Oklahoma City Thunder made an expectation defying deal that will undoubtedly either end up a brilliant reminder of how smart you have to be to succeed in a small market or a sobering lesson on why small market teams can’t thrive in today’s [...]
2012 Player Capsules: Samuel Dalembert
“I want the team to be one of the top defensive teams. I’ve been to so many training camps and seen coaches focusing on offense, offense, offense. We came here and I’m like, ‘Wow.’ I wanted to hug coach (Scott Skiles). For the first time in seven years, the Milwaukee Bucks starting center isn’t Andrew [...]
2012 Player Capsules: John Henson
From every indication, John Henson is ready to play defense in the NBA. For his sake, I hope that’s true. Because his capability to play defense this year could have quite an impact on his career. Henson is probably going to land on his feet no matter what. He was a very highly regarded high [...]
