				Mike Hunt just wrote a spectacular article.
(I had to)
But seriously, great article. I agree 100%.

It's easy to say - blow the team up. But how do they do that? Should the Bucks trade Redd and Mo for picks? Should they try to get some cheap vets? What's the approach that should be taken? Hunt doesn't provide one and if I were to be cynical I'd say it's because he doesn't want to be tied to a position so that he has the freedom to make a new one up later.
Or because Realgm is split down the middle and he is waiting for one side to prevail before taking credit for that stance.
Oh, and HI HUNT!

				i  have  often  critisized  hunt  for  going  to websites/forums  and  cutting  and  pasting  posts    and  then calling  them  his  words. 
However,   i applaud  him  for  having  the  guts  to  make  those  thoughts  public.   
as  for  being  original, another  writer  in  LA   published  similar  thoughts  about  blowing  up  the  Clippers  last week.    i fear  hunt  took  his  cue  from  a  fellow  journalist  and  just changed  the  names.  
But  as  I  said,  hunt  had  the  balls  and  also  the  job  security  to  go public  and  attack  the  kohl  regime.    i wonder  if  Hunt  is  a  democrat?

				This is the best Bucks article that has been written in the paper that I can remember. Finally somebody calls this organization out as a whole and it starts at the top. Just a very good article by Hunt. Hope theres more to come now

				It is a start.
At least it appears Hunt is beginning to get it.
The first sign of light at the end of the media tunnel in this town.
This is one of the worse run franchises in all of sports.
If you are a Bucks fan who giggles at Al Davis or gets glee from the running nightmare that is "As Zeke Turns" in New York.
You need to take the Rose Colored glasses off for a second and realize that the Bucks are run as badly if not worse then the New York Knicks or Oakland Raiders.
THis is a mess that starts at the top. Furthermore the desire to toss a stick of dynamite into the middle of this mess and watch it go boom is not the worse idea.
Europa I could care less how it is done but Kohl has to be forced by the City fathers to give up control of the power to make basketball decisions... Threaten him with an ultimatium, no re-structuring of the management end of this franchise and no possibility of a new arena.
Yes, I am saying that either this becomes a franchise run by professionals or take this mess to Vegas, Buffalo or Oklahoma City. I cannot support the use of my tax money being spent to support this non-sense.
I am fed up and I simply cannot take anymore of this damn incompetence.
The fans who accept this under the threat of Herb selling to someone who will move the Bucks are victims and behave like hostages who suffer from Stockholm syndrome.
Guys there are things worse then the Bucks leaving and that is this level of futility for another 5 or 6 seasons, and a half-a-billion bill to watch it.
I am damn tired of being tired of this act.
Something drastic has to be done.

				it was fine. Could have been longer as Europa pointed out. Nothing new that those who read here daily don't already know, but perhaps for average fan, this'll be something.

As far as the column itself, not even the quality of half the posts here.  Has he just discovered the internal problems with the upper management or the contracts of Bucks' underperformers (actually overrewarded for their normal performances for several years).  Strange that for this buffon the third head coach should have receptive players, but he still demeans the previous two head coaches who also could have used receptive players (and perhaps a supportive gm office).
