No, he did say he talked to a lot of players, coaches and GM's though. :)


Gery wants to see his name on the ticker of yahoo, ESPN and realGM (:wink:), don't need any actual information or actual sources to get that.

I'd argue Jennings has held the organization just as much hostage, if not more. The Bucks seem to honestly believe that BJ will suddenly turn the corner and become a top 5-10 PG in the NBA. And, we're on year #3 of waiting for that moment to happen.

Personally, I'd rather keep Bogut. And, if Jennings is back next season, I won't be a season ticket holder.

Good news if true, but I don't buy much that comes from Woelfel. Would love to get Detroit's lotto or Toronto's lotto.

Like I've said before, Ersan as a solid rotation player/spot starter on a contender would be a perfect position for him. He is a good basketball player. Unfortunately, the Bucks are in nowhere near that position, therefore it makes the best sense for both parties to move him.

Jennings has been here since 2009. Bogut's been here since 2005. No way Jennings has held the Bucks just as much hostage as Bogut has.

Like stated, Bogut is an injury waiting to happen. Every single season. You can realistically expect Bogut to play 60-65 games per season, at most. His recent string of unfortunate events has left us with too many questions to answer regarding the team.

Jennings has only started to get bad. Maybe, if we hang on to him, he'll eventually get to where Bogut is. But no way is he there right now.

EDIT: But I do understand where you're coming from when you put Jennings' erratic play into question.

Is playing absolutely terrible for 30 games a season better than not playing 20 games a season?

I'd have mixed feelings if they moved him. I really do like his game but he can never stay on the court. If they move him for a "win now" trade I might never watch NBA basketball again. "70/30" from Woelfel means nothing. But why would he put such ridiculous odds out there? Very interesting.

Again, I ask the Aussie fans, if this happens, what do you do as far as your fan allegiance? I doubt it would be too difficult to completely bail on this pathetic organization. Just trying to get a feel for where your collective heads are at.

I don't care if the odds are 10/90, the fact that they are open to trading Bogut is great news.

I would assume Minnesota is on the table if true.

Bogut being traded makes me more interested in the team providing they don't go out and trade him for "veterans" then I'll stay the same level of disinterested I've been all season.

I'll definitely continue following his career and if the Bucks continue to put out the same .400 ball Drew Gooden 20 shots per game garbage I'd probably rather watch a Bogut game than a Bucks game but I'd be way more excited about being a Bucks fan if Bogut was gone.

Then we only have to read your posts the 2 or 4 times a year we play him!
