Per wiretap. Not really shocking I guess. Discuss

EDIT: Fixed your title

Even though the title is wrong, it's kind of perfect at the same time.

desmond mason told me so
Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:

He apparently ripped Herb Kohl and his team of lawyers right to their faces how he wasn't able to do his job. The only coach Larry actually hired was Terry Porter. Herb Kohl was doing everything and is still doing everything, he's an old POS fossil that should sell the team now.

If Kohl approved hiring Terry Stotts and firing Terry Porter than he deserves a lot of criticism.

But Harris had a lot of bad moves - signing Simmons, giving so much money to Gadzuric and Williams, trading TJ Ford for CV and then abandoning CV on the bench in favour of Yi, re-signing Bell, etc.

He has an ok eye for talent but has generally never demonstrated any ability to know how to build a winning team or create stability or chemistry. An appropriate firing.

Apparently Ron Walter, Kohl's butt buddy, and Kohl had a lot to do with the massive overpaying of Gadzuric, Redd and Bell. Also, apparently Kohl nixed the triangle offense Larry K was instilling in the pre-season, he needs to get thrown off the Bradley center roof.

This is perfect timing, with the paper bag protest and Simmons campaign to become the Bucks GM. You dont even need a search, Simmons is the man for the job !!!

anyway larry did the best he could, but hes just not good enough.
now Herb Kohl should sell the team to someone who knows basketball (and CARES).

I remember when Harris and the Bucks signed Bobby Simmons away from my Clippers a few summers ago. Bucks fans were absolutely in love with Harris following that move and it's been all downhill from that day. Why the hell did they ever fire Terry Porter?

Numerous credible sources on the Bucks board. I know that might sound like an oxymoron to some of you, but they are actually credible.

There hasn't really been any concrete answer to that yet. At least from what I've heard.
