Maybe we can trade Mo for Twirl, he seems like a funny guy and makes me laugh so I'm sure he'd be a good "chemistry" guy. Hey addition by subtraction right.........what a joke.

Twirl needs to be making at least $6.6024 million to make the deal work under the cap. Expiring, preferably

I'll reluctantly sign it although I'd prefer to be making the most amount of money possible for it to still work under the CBA. Especially if I'm only signing a one year deal.

The last thing I remember is that if the Bucks didn't take Alexander they would have taken Augustin..........if someone heard more please fill in the blanks.

In that case, I'm very glad we have Joe Alexander.

You can make up to $10.541 million and still be traded straight up for Mo and his $8.353 million salary...but that would put us over the luxury tax threshold.

Still, I'd say you're worth every penny, Twirl

I have no desire to get into one of those tireless and extremely fruitless arguments with Mo Nation over how great or not great he is..

We accept your surrender. Mo Nation wins another battle in the name of life, liberty, and the pursuit of reasonable arguments.

Nowak, I can't be the first person to have asked you this: have you considered legally changing your last name to Mowak?

Fixed. I am the one who made pretty much the entire argument.

fam, that's hilarious. Maybe I should change my name to Motwirl. It'd be like a mo-hawk except Motwirl means the waxing of ones shoulder hair.

I am not surrendering just praying that this trade hurries up and goes though.

Come on Frank, thats ridiculous. Now a tattoo, that would sweet!!!

I suggest Mo Nation matching shirts with Mo's actual teen wolf like hair glued to the letters of his name... I'm sure they have bags and bags and bags of his hair sitting somewhere waiting for a special pick up just from that one wax job he had.

[fam3381]

If Mo does stick through camp we'll need to print up some shirts...Teen Wolf, Mo Nation, Mogut, MoJoe, Mo Williams show...the t-shirt possibilities are endless.

Thought only Mo and Bell asked to be traded?

Bobby Simmons, Charlie Villanueva, and Jake Voskuhl as well.

Was Gadzuric in Vegas to gamble or was he trying out for our summer league team?

The sad part is that if a trade goes down, all the 'Mo-Haters' will be on here proclaiming that their criticisms were justified, since we're going to be a much better team regardless - in the same way that it's Mo's fault that we sucked last year (never mind that we had a rookie coach and starting PF who didn't know what they were doing, rotation players that were unhappy and out of shape, etc). It's amazing to me the tunnel vision some fans have with regard to their favorite and/or least favorite players...

I've been loyal to Redd for so long. I loved his game before the big contract, especially when he was playing with other good players. He didn't force any shots because he didn't have to, and he was ridiculously efficient. He was also a very good rebounder and a better defender than many of his more well-compensated teammates (Big Dog, Allen, Thomas, Cassell).

But since he started playing more minutes and has had to be the man, he hasn't been nearly as much fun to watch. He doesn't even make a token effort to rebound or defend, and he does less to get his teammates involved than almost any other max contract player except Z-Bo. His weaknesses have been brought to the forefront, and they are fatal flaws for a franchise player. It's time for me to let go of the image of Redd I've held for years and realize that the player he is now is not the player I thought he was.

That said, I am officially applying to join Mo Nation because I think they should keep Mo and trade Redd. Here are some very good reasons that are hard to refute:

-Mo has given us every reason to believe he can be just as good as Redd if given the opportunity to be the #1 option. In fact his career trajectory is uncannily similar to Redd's.

-Mo can play his natural position of sg on offense if the Bucks acquire a pg with enough size to guard sg's on defense, and say what you want about Mo's passing but he would be a much better passing sg than Redd has ever been.

-Mo is 25, Redd is 29.

-Mo makes half what Redd makes.

-Redd has started to have knee problems almost every year, and he has more wear and tear than most 29 year old guards because he once played a full season at 20% body fat. 20%!

-I repeat: Michael Redd, the Bucks' max contract franchise player, once thought so much of his teammates, coaches, gm, owner, and fans that he elected to come into training camp at an atrocious 20% body fat and stayed that way the entire year. I don't see Mo doing that. In fact, I can hardly think of any guards who have done that ever in the history of the NBA. Khalid El-Amin maybe, but he was of little consequence.

-It's possible that the Bucks could get more for Redd than they could get for Mo, altough I don't know why that would be the case.

Agreed. We'll be better next year no matter what. With or without Mo.

Hell, take Redd away for nothing, and I bet the team wins more than 26 games.


Welcome aboard CHL.

Personal attacks will not phase Mo Nation. We are a strong industrious people with a doctor, business student, rapper, computer guy, and a message board master (and whatever carwin does) that make up our people. Not too many nations can boast such a claim. You will have to do better then that to beat us.

EDIT: and whatever CHL does for a living!

That is not a personal attack.. it was a suggestion to help identify Mo Fan-addicts every where! I was offering support.
