Can't see Mo fitting in.

Changes are obviously needed, and like Bogut said the Bucks need to have team identity in mind when making changes. Mo is one player that I can't see meshing with the rest of the roster under any circumstances.

He would be good in the Stotts system with a guard-oriented offense built around Mo, Redd, and Bell's shooting, but that system is totally limited and is a waste of the talents of the big men. It would be ridiculous to trade Bogut and Yi to build a jump-shooting team that plays horrible defense and doesn't share the ball. The 2001 Bucks took that identity as far as it could possibly go with better personnel, and they weren't that good.

I could see Redd being a good off-the-ball, catch-and-shoot guard in a half-court team. Mo could play that role as well but he doesn't have the size to play sg. He can't lead an up-tempo transition team because he doesn't make good decisions on the fly. He's not the pg of the future because he doesn't look for his teammates. He's too short to feed the post. He won't defend the point of attack.

Bottom line, he's the one player who I think most has to be traded, even more so than CV who would be a good scoring 3/4 off the bench and who's on his rookie contract which is a big factor.

There are a ton of threads on Mo/Redd and possible player moves. We can't make any trades now until June
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
