Was at the bar talking to a friend of mine...

we always talk sports and finally the Bucks were brought up. He said,

"well, at least we'll get another good pick next year". He was saying this in disbelief. He then added "I don't really know what they need. They have a big scorer (Redd) a good center, a pretty good PG, a good PF......I think all they need is a good coach. We need to get Larry Brown and I guarantee he'd win with the same team.

Thoughts?

Your friend is crazy! They need on the ball defence which neither of their starting guards provides. MO HAS TO GO!!! That should be this year's theme.

I'll be watching the tourney even closer this year looking for the Bucks point guard of the future. A pass first play D type of guy.

It's all starts with your PG and the Bucks don't have one. Sessions possibly, but who knows.

Nope. Good way of looking at it. Makes you realize how bad LK really is.

I don't believe LK is a bad coach...he's looking for players to buy into his system and until they do, we won't know what type of coach he is.

MO is the problem, bad attitude, shoot first guy, doesn't play D...all this from YOUR STARTING POINT GUARD!!! Once he leaves, and he better be traded...you can start judging LK.

I know he's been out lately a little, but he's already done his damage to the team's view.

I think the difference between the Bucks and a team like the Cavs for instance, who are garbage outside of LBJ is that the Bucks don't have that one outstanding superstar player to carry them... it's supposed to be Redd but lets face it he's just Kevin Martin on steroids... maybe not even that. This whole "Balanced" roster thing (which is what the Bucks have... balanced crap, but balanced nonetheless) does work (see: Pistons) but you need to have higher quality players for it to be successful.

Personally I prefer that approach to the 1 superstar way, I think it could definitely be achieved by the Bucks but it would require extremely smart roster moves and that just doesn't seem feasible at the moment.
