Yes, but I don't think Redd/CV/Yi/1st nets us Brand/Nocioni/Lee/Balkman/Lowry/Hughes/Mobley.

There is a halfway reasonable way to get there. I swear.

I'd do it, although I might be upset at losing Voshkul and Storey.

Yes..I'd do it. I'd hate to lose Yi but Brand and Lee at PF could make up for that. Now show us the math.....

Sign me up mid. I really like the entire roster but the 4's are outstanding, just what I've wanted for a few years now!

I SAY NO !!!!

how many threads do we currently have that say MO is a terrible guard and the root of all our problems?

How many teams have unloaded hughes for almost nothing in return and were the better team after doing so? Even Hughes admitted he wasn't giving the Cavs all he had and that they misused his various talents as did the wizards.

A backcourt of Hughes and Mo is a backcourt disaster.

brand would get as many shots as joe Smith and Bogut did.

The Bucks don't really need brand. What they need is a new owner, a new gm, anew coach, a new game plan, and a new backcourt. and a few guys who ca n pla y defense.

No new line-up without firs t getting rid of the firs t three things i mentioned will ever be any more success than our current team.

at the begining of the year, everybody said we had talent - except me - we jus t don't have a plan or talent that meshes together. and we don't have intelligent players.


Redd is not the only problem on this team.

I like to see the idea how you got them. Hughes is garbage. I didnt check the salaries of what you got and what we have. hope its close. But I rather have a combo of Dalemebert,Artest,Bogut,AK47 then rest can be role players. So the bait is Redd,Mo,Yi,CV,Dez,Simmons,Gadz,Bell for the expensive junk. With all that salary probably could add another decent player to roster on NBA LIVE.

I thought Redd was our problem.....and with a line-up like that no PG can ruin that.

you'd probably prefer kobe, but mid wanted to go a different way


we're not trading away all stars here, you gotta be realistic about what we can get back

That would be a hell no....just when I thought the backcourt could not get wors than the current one, it managed to get worse.

Mid I love the rest of it, but Mo has to go. I know your a big fan of his and I appreciate that, but Mo is done in Milwaukee. I'm sure he can be a really good player on another team but I can't watch another game of his boneheaded decisions and appalling defense, despite the fact that he does some other things very well.

On the plus side I would LOVE Brand, Nocioni, Lee and Balkman on this team, and think we could do a lot worse than Kwame as a defensive backup C. No doubt those areas would be a big improvement on this team, but our entire backcourt has to go for me.

I think we could probably get a better SG than Larry Hughes while remaining realistic.
