listen here

Thought you guys might be interested:

Some of the things he said about your team:

"Egos get in the way"
"Little jealousy comes up"
"Someone doesn't want to pass to so and so the ball"
"Some want all the glory to themselves"

"Egos get in the way" = Redd
"Little jealousy comes up" = Redd
"Someone doesn't want to pass to so and so the ball" = Redd
"Some want all the glory to themselves" = Redd

Solution? Trade Redd!

:lol:

Nice to see another member of the organization validating things that have been reported in this forum for months.

I'm sure the J/S will be all over this ...

At the All-Star break in 2012.

This one can't be Mike, his glory goes to God.

it goes to mike first, and then he passes it on in the postgame interview

but maybe he keeps what's left over after rounding discrepancies

While virtually the entire team could be connected to the issues Todd noted I think it's very safe to say Mo and Redd likely are involved in all of them to some degree. The first and last ones almost certainly are tied to the two of them.

You can't win with that type of thing going on with two of your top starters. This team really needs to move both of them this summer and start from scratch in the backcourt.

Solution? Trade Redd! Mo

Corrected.

I hope you are correct. But I do not see that happening. Management still wears those rose colored glasses.

I'm prepared to be disappointed again this summer. Comes with the territory of being a Bucks fan. But I do think one of them gets traded. If I was a betting man, I'd bet on Mo being the one to go with Redd staying put.

I feel the same way. Mo for a mid round pick would be nice. At least we could get some better bench players.

Are the Bucks actually looking to trade Redd? If so, what is Milwaukee looking for? Expiring contracts? Draft picks?

Wow. Did Todd think the internet doesn't work in Toronto?

A very interesting interview with a straight-forward coach. I appreciate the candor of Todd. Said some things that validate some things here, didn't like the "give LK another year" thing. I really like Swirsky, as I hear him often on a sports program on the radio here (Sports Spectrum).

I just wish that I could be more optimistic about the changes to be done by this organization but I'm just not!

He realizes the J/S does such a shoddy job of reporting the only people who will hear his comments are those in Toronto or those of us here. Like I said, the reports about this team's issues have been well documented in this forum for months. Now we have confirmation of them from an assistant coach. But has the J/S bothered to write anything about what a dysfunctional mess this team is and how the players internally have had issues with one another for most of the season? Of course not. The fact that all it would've taken is one conversation with Todd (or Tony Brown) to confirm all of this speaks volumes about what a group of hacks the J/S has covering the Bucks.

Todd probably figured he was safe commenting about all of this, realizing it will take the J/S years to even confirm it. Assuming they ever do.

The Bucks are too busy trying to cover up the mess they are
in. The MJS and even the Fox coverage is a joke. Its like everything is ok
and we have a great future.

Wow. Apart from his two-year contract Todd sure sounds unhappy that he left the Raptors. "You make your bed, then you lie in it."

Also interesing, he said at the end that Mo "may be shutting it down" for the rest of the season.

Todd knows he's on his way out.....he's positioning himself for a new job somewhere else.....

"Me? I had nothing to do with Milwaukee.....Phil Jackson couldn't get Redd and Mo to play team ball"
