Actually there is no question. I don't expect Senator Kohl to let ANYONE make deals or anything without his direct imprint being on it.. so honestly, I'm not optimistic regardless of what body is finally put in that position.

I hope Kohl is put in a situation where he has to beg for a GM to come to Milwaukee, and has to promise to keep out of the majority of basketball affairs.

I thought John Hammond was the "spared no expense" guy.

Sorry, I'm about 2 days late in the joke but I had to get something in there...

I agree. The weird thing is this is the first time in awhile where the Bucks actually made a major move I strongly endorsed beforehand. I hope this is a trend we see going forward. :)

You shouldn't hold that against him, because literally every GM in the league had Sucko at either #2 or #3.

Yup. That's an excellent point. The Pistons mucked up but virtually every other team that would've picked that year would've made the same mistake.

It's like when the Packers took Tony Mandarich. Sure it was gigantic bust but it's a mistake every other team picking second that year would've made as well. The player was highly regarded and was almost unanimously viewed as a can't-miss prospect.

This isn't to excuse the Pistons for making the mistake; but it does clarify the point that they wouldn't have been the only team to make it.

Pretty amazing they didn't take Carmelo, especially after his NCAA season.

The funny thing is that he can't change it till November because you have to be here a year to change your name.

That does make it about 100 times better.
