Any reason to eye Ford?

Obviously as everyone has noted, Pamela Anderson is not getting back with Tommy Lee. Ford was deemed expendable by the suits in the Bucks front office because of his injury risk and mood issues (take that any direction you wish whether it be problems with his team-mates or lifestyle issues).

Given that in the two years since Ford's left, those two things have actually manifested themselves to a more negative effect than when he was here, I do not see him coming back under any circumstances.

That said, I'd gladly trade Simmons for Ford. We take back $24mm in salary obligations that can actually contribute to a winning team in some role. I'm not sure Simmons can do that anymore. So Ford sitting in street clothes = Bobby suited up. Ford playing 40 games a year >> Bobby suited up.

Toronto won't do this for that very reason. We'd have to add in CV. If the Raptors would then send their draft pick back, I'd do it. CV/Simmons for Ford/#17 pick.

We would be stupid not to, in this scenario.

Getting anything that resembles a basketball player for Bobby Simmons is a good deal, even if TJ still has $25 million or so left on his contract.

I'd take ford over any crap we have on this roster right now. I'll take Ford and Anthony Parker plus filler for Redd.

Ford has been back to his regular self the last two games (he has started) 18 assists in those two games, and playing SO under control.

He was our MVP this season before he got hurt.

Not sure what your laughing about Jeremy. Redd has been playing like a second-round pick scrub of late.

jeremy was one of those who voted Michael the 5th best player in Bucks history, so take all of that with a grain of salt.

God that was a sad day in Bucks Basketball history to have Max voted 5th best player and he plays like trash in the game.
