So much happening. – Kelly Dwyer on this being useful for the Bucks. – Frank Madden wonders what the plan is. – Kevin Arnovitz said both teams shuffled the deck in this 5-on-5, but at least the Bucks got a wild card in Ekpe Udoh. – John Hollinger sees the logic for Milwaukee and appreciates [...]
I’m not negative just for the sake of being negative. If you read my last post, if you follow me on Twitter or are a friend of mine on Facebook, you probably think I think this is the worst trade of all time. I don’t feel that way. I get the deal and I see [...]
Bucks and Warriors have agreed in principle on trade to send Bogut and Jackson to Warriors for Ellis, Udoh and Brown, league source tells Y! — Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) March 14, 2012 The Bucks were willing to do anything to get rid of Stephen Jackson after all. This doesn’t look like much now, but if [...]
Peter Vescey at the New York Post reported that the Milwaukee Bucks and Golden State Warriors almost had a deal sending Robin Lopez (who would have been acquired from Phoenix) and Stephen Curry to the Bucks for Andrew Bogut before the Bucks pulled out because of Curry’s ongoing ankle issues: Curry’s surgically repaired (last summer) ankle sometimes [...]
Another report, this one from CBS’ Ken Berger last night, has Andrew Bogut possibly on his way out of town. The Warriors are discussing ways to acquire center Andrew Bogut from Milwaukee as part of a complicated, three-team proposal that would send Monta Ellis to Orlando, multiple league sources told CBSSports.com. Berger goes on to [...]
Every so often, things get pretty busy for the Milwaukee Bucks. Now is one of those times. So I present to you, some information, thoughts and quotes. – Ersan Ilyasova, part time basketball player and part time super-hero, after Milwaukee’s game on Friday when asked about his late game offensive rebounding prowess of late: The [...]
Tonight, the Milwaukee Bucks are back in action against the Washington Wizards. It will likely be a thrilling match between a team that refuses to rebuild and a team that can only rebuild. It’s too bad the NBA doesn’t engage in the hijinx like the average television sitcom from the 1990s. Under those circumstances, we [...]
There hasn’t been a question about what the Milwaukee Bucks needed to do to improve over the past few seasons. Virtually every night, they help opponents to below average shooting percentages and point totals. Stops on stops on stops. More often than not though, Milwaukee found a way to be even worse offensively. Like, almost [...]
I’ve been beating the rebuild drum for quite a while. I’ve watched Oklahoma City and more recently, the Minnesota Timberwolves, load themselves up with talented young players. I’ve seen them flounder and flourish. I’ve also seen the risks. The Washington Wizards present the flip side of the destroy and rebuild plan. Sure, they landed John [...]
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 [...]
