Mo has to Go 

Post#1 » by PaBuck » Fri Feb 29, 2008 3:16 pm

The Nets fiasco definitely pushed me over the edge to the position that Mo or Redd has to go! Rather keep Redd in that he is more difficult to trade and better for the Bucks. Also, have had it with smaller guards. Trading Mo may take time and the Bucks have to wait for a good deal. To eventually replace Mo, we draft Russell Westbrook out of Arizona who probably will be available at our selection. He is an athletic freak at 6'3 (Just view his dunks on YouTube). Like his 4.8 apg and a 1.7 a/to ratio. He also defends. Am willing to roll the dice at this point because as presently constructed and playing, the Bucks are on the fast train to mediocrity.

We definitely need a better defender at the pg spot.

I'm sure over the offseason something will be done to the mo/redd backccourt, resulting in at least one of them gone.

Ramon Sessions is already in place.

Reportedly he was supposed to return to practice yesterday

The problem with Redd is that he makes too much money, but he has no impact on the game. The value is not there.

Mo gets 6.4 and a 2.3, so... that doesn't exactly help your point. I thought Westbrook was underrated early in the season, and now it's like everyone's trying to make up for that by overrating him.

But I concur with the idea of trading either Redd or Mo. My preference would be to trade Redd.

I'd like to see Ramon play some NBA games before anointing him Mo's replacement.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Me too. Kind of funny that people think Ramon would save this team.

Thx Mickey


I guess a thread that just says "MO HAS TO GO"

is much better than one where I want to discuss if Mo would ever accept a bench role

I saw no reason to have two different Mo threads started minutes apart. If you want to discuss Mo coming off the bench instead of getting rid of him great. Post it here.

we love marion but he simply makes too much $ and we have more needs...mo will fit in great as well as simmons...i dont know if a future lotto protected 1st should be added instead of an 08 2nd...anyway, if we add beasley, simmons and mo along with wade and haslem and wright that could be the start of a very nice core

Times 2. Marion would be the ideal forward to add to the Bux, imo.

Yes, Marion would be great. He would be the only SF or PF on this team that can produce.

Ramon is going to save the team.

Hey, why not?

But I agree, Mo has to go or settle into a bench player.


My hopes are that Ramon has the necessary talent and we can package Mo and our draft pick to move up in the draft and get our SF of choice.

if we move out of the top 2, like 3 or 4, id consider trading it to you guys for mo and your pick

Trade Mo, bring back Ivey, and let Bell, Ivey, and Sessions battle for the starting pg spot in training camp. They are all big pg's who can feed the post, defend sg's or pg's, and won't take a ton of shots. I think the Bucks could be okay with Bell although he's not ideal. I have a hard time imagining a Mo trade that gets an upgrade at pg in return - maybe Andre Miller, whose contract expires the following year?

If they draft a pg in the top 10 I think they can start Bell for a year while grooming his successor.

Mo will be eminently tradeable in the summer, don't you worry. He could help a lot of teams, teams that had nothing to offer at the trade deadline but will have draft picks and exiring contracts this summer.

I'm sorry but can everybody please stop talking about Royal Ivey as this great defender? He blows. He sucks on offense, he sucks on defense. Nobody saw him get dominated by Devin Harris?

Ivey's a pretty good defender. Hardly blows and compared to Mo he is indeed great.
