I don't know if this thread will take off but if Simmons is really going to come to town and take our questions, maybe we should be prepared with some good questions for the guy.

So here is what I propose. If you post your questions for Bill Simmons here as to what he would do if he were the GM, I will compile the serious ones so we have a good list for his visit. Also you never know, maybe he pulls a Bell and gets an account and answers them if we are lucky.

I'll start:

1. Bill, I have heard you were a big supporter of Adam Morrison prior to the 2006 NBA draft, what have you to say for that now that we have seen him play poorly as a pro?

2. We know you like CV and would like to trade both Redd and Yi, so what kind of team are you looking to build here and who would be your core players you would like to build around? To a greater extent, how long do you think it will take you to turn the team around providing you are actually allowed to do your job with minimal meddling?

3. Also, whats your take on the coaching situation?

1. What is the absolute first thing you would look to do from a player/personnel standpoint upon arriving in Milwaukee??

2. If you had to label one player on the Milwaukee Bucks untouchable, who would that player be, and why?

3. What is your overall long-term strategy regarding building a team that can have sustained success but also get to the point of contention?

Because he spends all his time doing needlepoint.

Bill, why do you think you'd be successful in getting Herb Kohl to back off?

What kind of party will you throw this board if we lead the charge that eventually gets you hired?

You can't say pizza party because Charlie Bell already promised us one. :lol:

Bill - What is your favorite beer and why? Doesn't have to be a Milwaukee or Wisconsin beer and I hope its not Miller Lite.
