LOL. Why was the Twins outfield playing so deep with McGehee up? -
How can James Harden bust when he would easily be the second best player on the Bucks? As far as bailing on Milwaukee. What free agent has EVER gone through their rookie contract without signing at least one extension? I can't think of any. I'm sure Chris Bosh didn't like it in Toronto, but he still signed an extension.
-
Alec Burks would have been a great pick at 10.
-
No they didn't. They got the 2nd pick, let Rashard Lewis walk, traded Ray Allen for the 5th pick and then didn't sign any free agents to help them win. By not signing free agents, it opened up a ton of time for the young guys to develop and they were bad enough to get back into the top 5 in the draft and land Russell Westbrook and then James Harden. After those three developed and showed enough that they could be the key members of a consistent 50 win team, they then went out and got a center to help them in Perkins using Jeff Green who was the 5th pick in the draft with Durant. That's the whole point. Stay high in the lotto until you get a star, don't sign any worthwhile free agent, keep cap space and accumulate picks so you have trade assets to use in the future when you feel the team needs a piece to get over the hump. Compare that to what the Bucks did when they won the lotto in 2005. Draft Bogut, who was the wrong pick but even still, they then went out and signed Bobby Simmons for $42 million and Dan Gadzuric for $36 million. When Bogut looked bad in the preseason they panicked and traded their 2006 1st for Jamaal Magloire. They ended up winning what 41 games or something and were the 8th seed in the playoffs and got crushed by the Pistons.

wow. some of you guys need to stick to baseball and quit pretending you watch more than just a game here and there during the nba season and playoffs. Guarantee I've seen more Bucks games than you in the past 10 years. any trade to ditch those albatross contracts is positive. Not when you're taking on other bad contracts and dropping in the draft. hammonds Exhibit A to point 1. Hammond, not Hammonds. (they wanted ridnour but couldn't afford him). They couldn't afford Luke Ridnour at $4 million but they can afford Beno Udrih at $7 million? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Oklahoma City and Portland did it in the last few years.

Don't you mean never rebuilding?
-
Jackson is an inefficient chucker in his mid 30s. Excuse me for not believing he will make the team better.
-
I'm not seeing the upgrade from Maggette to Jackson. He's 33 and terribly inefficient on offense. I don't want him here or playing at all.
-
If he's so injury prone why in the world would we want him to sign an extension?
-
The value in dumping Maggette is negated by taking on a crappy Stephen Jackson and his equally crappy contract.
-
The Bucks could have dumped Salmons with the 10th pick and gotten Udrih and the 7th pick. Instead they get Charlotte involved and make a lateral Maggette for Jackson move but drop 9 spots. That's horrible asset management by a horrible GM and horrible franchise.
-
Dallas was going to draft him at 6th, we picked 9th. Dallas took the risk that Dirk would still be there at 9th. We moved up to get Traylor. If Dallas thought we would take Dirk 6th, they wouldn't have traded with us.
-
Not Bucks related but this is one of the best tweets I've ever seen.
-
What? The first sentence explains why a rebuild would work. You don't need to make trades, you draft players and they don't have a choice but to come to Milwaukee.
-
Because we unloaded bad contracts for more bad contracts?
-
Once again, shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic while moving down 9 spots. Awful deal, par for the course for the Bucks.

Kottaras Available as Giants Search for Catcher
trwi7 replied to Hate those Rodents's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
1. I don't see the Giants giving up anything worth letting Kottaras go. 2. The Brewers would be tempted to put Nieves back on the major league roster and I want no part of that. -
That would be a pretty stupid comment by Roenicke that I hope he would get called out on considering he brought Lucroy in for Nieves after Wolf was done pitching when there were only two catchers on the roster.
-
Kotsay replacing Lucroy with the tying run at the plate. Roenicke is smoking crack.
-
Well played, Roenicke. Well played.
-
Stop trying to steal with Braun and Fielder coming up, idiots.
-
The Predators have a new logo. There will be new uniforms as well but they haven't shown them yet. I dig the new logo though. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ln7ctgTKwK1qldgljo1_500.jpg

Once again, how is he a tweener? He's shorter than Blake Griffin but his arms are longer and his reach is better which matters more than strictly height. Is Blake Griffin a tweener?
-
I had Bumgarner and Doug Fister started. Obviously you know Bumgarner was terrible but Fister went 8 innings giving up 1 run and the Mariners had a 5-1 lead going to the bottom of the 9th. The bullpen then proceeded to give up 5 runs and it cost Fister and me a win.
