Per NBA.com’s David Aldridge, it seems unlikely that Scott Skiles will return to the Milwaukee Bucks as coach next season, regardless of how this one plays out. Multiple league sources say that Skiles, who is in the final year of the five-year contract he signed in 2008, has informed the Bucks that he does not [...]
All that was advertised as good about the Milwaukee Bucks defense was on display in the fourth quarter of their 105-96 win over the Philadelphia 76ers Monday night. This season, we’re supposed to see a much more defensively focused group of Milwaukee big men. Either through development, as in the case of Larry Sanders and [...]
When Luc Richard Mbah a Moute was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks in 2008, he joined an organization that had recently undergone an overhaul. The John Hammond/Scott Skiles era had begun. Ramon Sessions, Michael Redd, Richard Jefferson, Charlie Villaneuva and Andrew Bogut were ready to show the league that defense truly didn’t matter. Unfortunately, that [...]
Obviously I’m not the highest on the resigning of Ersan Ilyasova. Or on most of the things the Milwaukee Bucks have done over the past couple of years. I was still under the Fear the Deer spell through the Stephen Jackson move, but since then, the Mike Dunleavy deal was fine and draft picks are draft picks, but [...]
Shirley, you’ve noticed the additional writers brought onto the Bucksketball staff lately … haven’t you? ANSWER ME SHIRLEY! Airplane. Nailed it. Ahem. We thought it would be fun to kick around a couple of late July questions to get kind of a pre-post free agency analysis of where things stand for the Bucks right now. [...]
Bucks GM John Hammond recently sat down with Bill Ingram of HoopsWorld to discuss Summer League, the Bogut departure (that led to an offseason need), and his feelings on the draft. He also—in classic John Hammond style—offered up this little quote, when asked if the Bucks were done with free agency or still looking to [...]
From Hoopshype.com “I expected to have at least a conversation [with Milwaukee],” Delfino told HoopsHype. “I ended up aggravating my injury because I wanted to play with the Bucks. It hurts me a little bit that they have not even reached out to me. That’s life, things happen. I learned from the experience. Coach Scott [Skiles] [...]
UPDATE: Ignore this post. Bucks traded down. More coming soon. Rumors are flying that the Milwaukee Bucks are attempting to trade up to acquire the moderately raw John Henson in Thursday’s NBA Draft. Gery Woelfel reported as much on Monday. Alex Kennedy followed up with the same report Tuesday. All this despite John Hammond doing [...]
Ho hum, just another Bucks’ workout featuring relatively unknown guards and forwards that could be taken in the second… Wait. Hold on. Is that Baylor forward Quincy Miller’s name I see on that list? It is. Hm, he’s a late first-round projected draft pick in nearly every mock draft. Could the Bucks be considering making [...]
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 [...]
