Yeah, I've been all over Woelfel all summer, but this one had the ring of truth to it the first time he directly said there were discussions. You knew it was going down.

RJ->Salmons->Maggette->Jax->Caron

The wheel of the aging wing carousel turns slowly, but it turns.

Butler would be nothing more than another shooter on this team, albeit a solid one. The dumb aspect here is he's only a slight upgrade from Middleton on offense, while being a complete liability on defense.

Tankers rejoice. Another example of the Bucks making a win-now now move that takes wins off the table.

Good to see your franchise is really pulling the stops out to finish 9th again this year. F#$@'ing hell, must their front office do this every god damn year!

The good news is half our players were decent 3 years ago, and the other half might be decent 3 years from now.

This has 8th seed written all over it. Paschke approves.

Butler is no better than Delfino. This is in no way a win-now trade

Geez, this just makes our inability to bring in Bledsoe that much more embarassing.

My hope is that this is just an attempt to sell a few more tickets.

Here's a tidbit from Caron's wiki that I did not know and am now SO GLAD I KNOW.

While playing for the Washington Wizards, he had an addiction to the soda Mountain Dew. He said he drank about six 12 ounce sodas a day and would wake up in the middle of the night to have one.


Mmmmmmmmm.

Has any of the package to Phoenix been confirmed? Part of me wants to see Ersan go. God would that be hilarious.

Just because you believed the Bucks were "stealth" tanking doesn't mean they were, this will be decent if we don't give up anything more than Udoh/Slavo/2nd.

Yeh, although a few Suns fans insist Dudley is some really good player, it's the icing on the cake of the "how did you not get Bledsoe" F#@$fest.

A starting line-up of Sanders, Butler, Ersan, Mayo and Ridnour, with some decent vets off the bench like ZaZa & Neal, is going to be enough to ensure 30+ wins, even if Henson, Knight and the other young guys contribute nothing. Another wasted season.

"Decent" compared to the other bottom 10 teams in the league maybe.

Edit - Read that wrong, but no, giving up a young player even if they are buried and a pick for a guy who isn't good and will bury two younger guys isn't a good move.
