Kwame works out w/Bucks

This guy is a cancer. Your better off playing 4 on 5 then having him on the court.

Could definately be a good option if he doesn't cost too much, he was really solid for the Lakers a couple years ago. I also think it might be good for him to play in Milwaukee where there won't be quite as many distractions. Also he wouldn't be under as much scrutiny as he was from being the #1 pick or being traded for Caron Butler. I wonder how well he would be able to handle playing under Skiles though, I think it would likely turn out very good or very badly.

I'm thinking it would go a little something like this ...

Is that a better or worse than CV playing for Skiles?

Do we think this would be in addition to Chris Andersen or potentially instead of?

I would guess that the addition of Andersen and Kwame would pretty much wrap up the Bucks offseason.

Bogut
CV
RJ
Redd
Mo

Kwame
Andersen
Alexander
Mason
Sessions

Gadz
Bell

That's 12.

Mbah and some other scrub would fill us out to 14.

I like that we have depth, but too many of the defensive guys are in the second unit. Unless Skiles gets some folks to come off the bench for the good of the team ala Manu in SAS. Mo and CV off the bench?

Bogut
Andersen
RJ
Redd
Sessions

Mo
CV
Kwame
Alexander
Mason

Mo could come in for either Redd or Sessions. It gives him the chance to still be a scorer with the second unit and could work well since he would be in when the guys who demand the ball Redd/RJ/Bogut are taking a breather.

I don't see anyway Sessions starts over Mo if Mo is still on the roster.

I also think we would do either Kwame or Birdman.

I also think that Hammond still has 1-2 trades up his sleeve. No way do I believe that both Mo and CV, and Dez will be on the roster. We still need a starting PF and I don't think Kwame or Birdman are starter material unless we want another trip to the lottery.

I suppose if one was interested in pure comic value the thought of Villanueva and Kwame Brown playing for Skiles would be worth watching. We could probably place bets on how long it would take before Skiles wanted to kill the two of them. I'll go with 3 minutes into the first practice of training camp.

Nah, surely there'd be a 'meet and greet' before training camp.

If CV and Kwame were both on the Bucks it would provide us endless hours of debate over who was more of an underachiever.

You just can't buy storylines like that.

In no way is Hammond done making moves this offseason, and trust me when I say that.

Looking at last years stats (even) that is doubtful.

True. But I'd say that looking at their respective careers, Kwame is the superior player. But the fact that one could even question it speaks volumes to what a gigantic bust he's been.

One thing I will say is with Gadz you never have to worry about him cheating you in terms of effort. The effort is often misguided and out of control but Gadz will always play hard and that's a very commendable. You can't say the same about Kwame.

Considering we are below the minimum number of players for an NBA roster, I won't argue

whoever wouldn't want kwame as a backup is cuckoo for cocoa puffs

REDDzone · Post #95 » by **REDDzone** » Thu Jul 10, 2008 6:02 pm

It'd suck to sign for the minimum on the Bucks.

If Mo can tell guys on rookie (lottery) contracts to sit down and shut up, I feel sorry for Kwame if he signs for the minimum.

To me they are comparable, but Kwame would get less than half of the money Gadz takes.

I'm all for adding Kwame. I've always liked his potential, even if it hasn't shined. Maybe Skiles can get it out of him.

MetroDrugUnit · Post #100 » by **MetroDrugUnit** » Thu Jul 10, 2008 7:07 pm

I think if we can get him cheap he's worth the risk. He definatly has been a disapoinment but I think this is a guy who is still young enought where if he gets into the right system and gets some confidence back and forgets that he was the worst #1 pick ever he may be able to be a solid contributor. Think about the beginning of Jermaine O' Neal's first few years were he was considered a bust, although he was deep on the pine on a real good team where as Kwame has had his opportunities.
