Free Agency Thread -David West to Spurs for free

[rilamann]

Not sure if you agree or disagree...but see all these teams getting better and were not

You do realize no matter what we're adding a healthy Jabari + a year of development from our **** ton of young guys? Calm down my friend and THINK. One of the best possible outcomes of today is that we dont overspend on anybody

In the immortal words of Michael Redd....ooooooh AND 1!!!


If the Bucks are a 50+ win team next season or in the near future it's going be (for the most part) because of the players we already have on our current roster.

The great thing is when you look at the players on our roster the chances of us being a 50+ win team in the near future are very good.

Sources indicate the Bucks are prepared to offer a full Merkt's spreadable cheese sampler to free agent forward Jiri Welsch. More to come.

Another source of mine claims Jiri is actually lactose intolerant. Lasry, aware of this possibility, offered a Usinger sausage gift-pak to assuage the distressed Welsch and overcome this John Hammond faux-pas. Here's a secret photo taken of the meeting room just after the conversations spilled into the hallway:



I can really appreciate the minimalism of the gift. It really leaves room for deep contract talks.

All kidding aside, where do you guys stand on Gigi Datome?

Seems about an appropriate time to get a little more mileage out of this:

Is there any interest on Kanter? My only concerns is his character, not the skills.

I don't get the Rolo hype. Koufos is cheaper and brings the same stats. And has a decent J.
Koufos and KOQ along with Henson would be fine by me for the center position.

[FrieAaron]

My biggest concern with Kanter is he seems to have a gigantic ego and might not be happy unless he's the number 1-3 option. That and the Jazz were better after they traded him and seemed to largely hate him.

[skbucks1985]

The fact that Monroe to the Knicks hasn't been announced yet has to mean the Bucks are still in the race.

Since it looks like the Lakers will strike out with all of there top targets they may make a late push for Monroe as well.

Jiri Welsch.

That name made me think of the Herb Kohl era,the Herb Kohl era made me think of this gem from the past....

Kanter can't pass or play defense.

Not very significant, but listening to Jared Dudley on Sirius radio... just said pretty matter-of-factly that Giannis will be a max player.

Damn it,I thought Giannis would accept 6th man type of money but we just had to give that 5 year deal to Middleton.See,Woeful was right.

[drew881]

People are getting scared here about striking out, but we just dodged two bullets on paying Brook Lopez and giving 4 years to Chandler (3 was my limit). We are either on the Rolo/Monroe train or we will marginally upgrade a center rotation player with someone like Byiombo or Speights. That still gives us some insurance when Zaza gets some lingering injury 5 games into next season.

[BroncoBuck]

Some guys we have not thought about

Omar Asik
Brandon Wright
Jordan Hill
Marresse Speights
Brandon Bass
Kevin Seraphin


LoL Andrea Bargnani If we sign him I will swear off Milwaukee basketball

Putting Asik on this team would be just as detrimental as Hibbert. Both guys are awful when the tempo is up. Cement blocks for feet.

Wright and RoLo should be our main targets. Koufos as well, depending on how much he will cost.

[BucksFanSD]

Probably doubtful but if there's any way to get Alex Len by taking on cap space and offering something in return, I say go for it. Len's age, quickness, and size would be a great fit with this team.

Edit: Len and Chandler are the only centers on the Suns so even more doubtful. I don't know who will start, probably whoever is healthy.

Nothing beats Yi posting up the folding chair though...

FWIW, I still think Hambone reels in a big fish today. Not based on anything other than a full moon feeling...

Considering the other contracts thrown out today, I don't think that's bad at all honestly. He's still pretty good if you use him right. He was doing great until Dallas brought in Rondo and moved him off the ball.
