Bogut+10 for 2 and 20+ small piece?

If Williams is the "real deal" and Bogut continues to get hurt, this could backfire.

The value is fair though and take Burks at 10 if he's still there.


Not that I think the value is off, but wouldn't Milwaukee insist that the Wolves take on one of their more wretched contracts in a Bogut trade?

Good point. Let them take Darko. Webster could go as well if we have enough guards/small forwards.

We got trade it.

#2 for Harden my be worth it. Beasley, Flynn, and #20 can be used to get a center somehow.

???? - darko
Love - Randolph
Wes - Webster
Harden - Ellington
Rubio - ridnour

The Bucks would insist on keeping the 10. No point making a deal for future prospects over winning now only to give away a decent draft pick.

Guys, we wouldn't send Bogut and 10 along.

If we move Bogut, it will be for a total rebuild and 10 is a needed pick. Bogut for 2/20/Bad T-Wolves contract.

Bogut has value to a number of teams looking for a 13/12/3 defensive anchor if the Bucks decide to trade him. Pick #2 sounds nice, but in this draft you could be getting a Michael Beasley with that pick rather than Chris Paul.

+1000000

Watching the Wolves give up 140 points a game and lose doesn't sounds like a party to me.

I voted for trade the pick. Bogut please. I don't want Bynum. I can't imagine trying to root for a classless goon like him.

I'm on board w/ this so far.

O/w Bogut for #2 seems like a risky gamble w/ the games he misses and we could move contracts instead, even if Wes has to be attached, and take advantage of Gasol, Oden, Dalembert, Yao, Nene etc all being potential free agent targets.

We have to put a legit team on the floor this next year. I would rather have a ugly defensive oriented team that wins then scoring 120 a night and losing.

Looking at the bulls got me thinking a bit..

Noah ----- A.Randolph
Boozer..... Love
Deng ...... Wes
Bogans.... Webster
Rose ...... Rubio


Not implying equality but rather similar styles.

Do you guys think AR could be a Noah type Center????

I would be fine with that if we got the 10 and Bogut.

Williams and Johnson on the wings would scare me. Both out of position. Neither can handle. Neither are really ISO scorers/shot creators.

Trade Johnson for Iggy?


Iggy is about 10 times better than Johnson while only being 3 years older and still 27. Iguodala was averaging around 20 ppg when he was 24.

So that's a yes?


Seriously, I'm pretty sure one of the Philly posters suggested something like that. There may be pieces added to it, too.

Gasol and what for the #2?

I'd be good with some sort of blockbuster with Mayo coming with Gasol.
