What will happen between now and the trade deadline?

[Buck You]

We will do nothing. We will watch other teams do trading and we'll just stand pat and stick our thumbs up our asses. I sure hope though that this trade deadline has at least one big trade, unlike last years.

[worthlessBucks]

I'm going to be so disinterested with this team if they don't make a major move (very likely). I'm not going to bother following them or the board again until draft lotto night. I just can't stomach wasting more of my time until the next opportunity for a dramatic improvement arises, they're simply not worth it .

Trade deadline is at 2pm CST on Thursday......

So we've got 38 hours left of hope........either a big trade or Kohl releases some scandal photos of Energee that we can have a 50 page thread on......

[schweig]

I'm going to forecast a throwback to the years when we were always in the mix on these days, they weren't even all that long ago and we were wheeling and dealing all the time. Maybe some of you had more information at the time about those too, but for me in the past there have been some things that weren't on my radar at all.

So I'll say Mo is on his way out, if Michael's value is so low right now. I can't say if it'll be anything actually exciting and worthwhile or if we'll just do some dumb **** like waste his trade value to dump Gadz.

I bet you guys cant guess who I hope gets traded,its 2 guys actually.I'll give you a hint both guys have first names that start with the letter ''M''




I can't realy imagine how the Bucks could not do anything at all but with that said and the fact its the Milwaukee Bucks I dont expect them to do anything at all.

I think Homer said it on his show the other day but it was a good point and kind of comical,he said something like ''if you broke up the big 3 squad how could you stand pat with this squad''.

Very true and worthy of a ''typical Milwaukee Bucks'' sort of chuckle.

Lg Office needs to have paperwork by then for it to go thru.

That is not actually true.

If teams are discussing a trade with each other, all they have to do is NOTIFY the league office of these discussions prior to the trading deadline and they have the entire night to work out a deal.

As an example, this is what the Bucks and Knicks did on the day of the 2003 trading deadline. We were trying to explore options for trading Sam Cassell after acquiring Gary Payton and thought maybe we could work out a deal with the Knicks. We ended up not being able to, but those discussions went on pretty late into the night.

Also, there are certain times when the League Office is open for this type of business beyond what would be considered normal hours. The trading deadline is one of those days. June 30th one of the others.

You want to trade Michael Ruffin?
You bastard!

[paulpressey25]

With the Kidd trade done, Vince Carter is now on the block.....

He just turned 31......he is guaranteed about $49mm the next three years (Redd gets about the same). VC has one extra year, but that is a team option.

Any takers on a VC for Redd deal?

None. I'd honestly rather have Redd than Carter.

[PaBuck]

YIKES! NO! At least Michael gives 100% all the time. Carter can get into a dontlikethingshere mode and go to shut down as he did in Toronto before they finally sent him packing to the Nets.

[Nebula1]

Please trade Mo and get a pick back.

[Nebula1]

Can't we at least trade Gadzuric for Brian Cardinal?

Ditto.

[xTitan]

Don't want Redd or Carter.

[Nebula1]

How bout the Bobby Simmons for Jason Williams deal? I still like that one.

[Nebula1]

I have zero desire to trade Redd unless it brings back a guaranteed top 10 pick.

[jerrod]

Don't want Redd or Carter.

[Nebula1]

These are the 2 deals the Bucks need to make at the deadline:


1. Dan Gadzuric for Brian Cardinal -

Memphis gets a running big guy and we get a hardhat with a shorter deal.


2. Mo Williams + Bobby Simmons + Jake Voskuhl for Jason Williams + Mark Blount + Dorell Wright -

We ship off alot of money, get shorter deals in return and a good piece in Wright, who we would look ro re-sign. Miami gets a PG and a veteran shooter to mix in with their lotto pick.


Leaves us with

Jason Williams/Ramon Sessions
Michael Redd/Charlie Bell
Desmond Mason/Dorell Wright
Charlie Villanueva/Yi Jianlian
Andrew Bogut/Mark Blount

Also Ivey, Storey and Cardinal

[paulpressey25]

TWO HOURS AND 15 minutes to go......

Kohl...please pull the trigger on something big.....
