Two Bucks make All-Star Reserves!

G: Charlie Bell, Bucks -- Bell all but pleaded with the Bucks to let him go last offseason, saying, "Inside my heart, I just won't be [in Milwaukee]." But bench players who can serve up almost 14 points a game aren't easily found, which led Milwaukee to match the five-year, $18 million offer that the restricted free agent received from Miami. Given that the 6-foot-3 guard's scoring average has been halved this season and he's shooting only 35.2 percent, Bell's heart seems to be speaking a lot louder than general manager Larry Harris' head.

F: Bobby Simmons, Bucks -- In July 2005, one national publication expressed the opinion of many in stating that the free-agent signing of Simmons "should launch Milwaukee securely into the East's second tier, just behind Detroit, Miami and Indiana." Of course, we could all have been wrong. After missing all of last season with multiple foot surgeries, Simmons is putting up the kind of journeyman-type numbers (7.5 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 41.9 FG%) he did early in his career, before a breakout season in 2004-05 with the Clippers persuaded Bucks GM Harris to give him a five-year, $47 million deal. Simmons isn't the only reason Milwaukee appears headed for a housecleaning this summer, but he sure is pushing a big broom.

SI didn't go far enough. We have plenty more laughs material like $10m over 2 years for Des who actually cost his Hornets teams games with his negative WP48. That one was LH unloading a guilt burden.
What about Gadz? Too easy.
Jake getting $3m per for being really tall?
Outbidding Miami and ourselves for a short SG in Mo?
The laughs keep coming ...
