Michael Redd is getting close. He may not be ready in a week, or even two. It may take a month before he’s back to practicing with the whole team in a five-on-five setting, but soon enough a decision will have to be made. Will Redd eventually be added to the active roster? Will he [...]
Last second victories are sweet. They’re more exciting, fun to watch and dramatic. They’re everything kids dream about as they grow up. But are they the magic elixirs many hope they will end up being? Common thought is that a win like the Bucks thrilling win over the Pacers last night gives the players something [...]
If it wasn’t for bad luck, he wouldn’t have no luck at all. That’s how it’s seemed for Michael Redd these last couple years. When he wasn’t tearing his ACL, he was spraining a knee doing something as simply as landing after a dunk. Things work themselves out in a funny way though. Redd’s bad [...]
Just two games remain in the Bucks exhibition season. Tonight, Milwaukee takes on the Cleveland Cavaliers in Columbus, Ohio. The very same Columbus, Ohio in which Michael Redd has reportedly been holed up in every since re-injuring his knee last January. Will Redd be in attendance this evening? Jim Paschke reported on Sunday during the [...]
We’ve got a special guest in studio today in sometime contributor Ross Geiger. No, Ross did not go to Ohio State and he is not Michael Redd’s publicist. He’s just an optimist who still believes. And who knows, maybe he’ll be the one who is right on Redd. I’m not holding my breath, but it’s [...]
Since taking over as Milwaukee Bucks general manager on April 11, 2008, John Hammond has shown he’s not afraid to make a deal. I’d go as far as to say he’s probably talking about a trade right now. He’s made more trades in his tenure than I have in the last 10 dynasties I’ve done [...]
Typically, patience isn’t a strong suit of sports fans. Instant gratification is the name of the game. Fans are paying money, they’re living and dying with their favorite teams games every night, they don’t want to hear about some rebuilding plan that’s going to force them to wait a few years for success. They want [...]
Even in deceit, lessons can be learned. That’s what I’m taking out of the 20 minutes madness earlier today on Twitter when, for those precious 20 minutes, everyone thought Michael Redd may be heading out of town to make room for local boy Devin Harris. The trade (the supposed specifics of it aren’t worth mentioning [...]

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 [...]
