I've jumped on the Mo for 6th man bandwagon.

It makes alot of sense.

While I think Mo could be the starting PG for this team if they got a guy like Mayo, I'd be cool with Mo coming off the bench.

But that assumes we're able to replace him with a quality starting PG, too. There aren't a lot out there.

Westbrook here would be a dream, but with all the talk of needing a 'pure' PG for this team, he'd be skewered by quite a few around here.

We have to find a way...

...to get a superstar player?

Then trade Andrew Bogut for that potential superstar. That is the answer.

Bogut will never be great, so what is the point?

QFT.

To me it's real simple. Do what you can to get a superstar. If Miami wins the lotto and they want an NBA ready big man, maybe Bogut would be an attractive option for them. I'd hate to give up our own pick to do so, but I wouldn't be against it.

I just hope we don't reach or overpay to get a PG this offseason

The Bucks are a long way from being a contender, even if Mo is moved this offseason, i'm fine with a Sessions/some mediocre veteran backup PG combo for next year. We won't win big next year regardless of what changes are made, so Hammond doesn't have to try and fill every need in one offseason.

If he can't find his PG of the future in the draft, use Sessions with some random vet and see what Sessions does. If he fails as the starter, then try and find one the next offseason or via a trade.

Don't just draft a PG thought to draft one if it means overdrafting that spot in the lottery.

I agree. If Hammond can at least remove the problem (Mo) that will be a big first step. He can work on the solution as time goes but the first step is critical in my opinion.

I'm a Bucks guy. At least I'm honest enough with my critiques to realize that trading Redd is probably the move the team needs to make. At the end of the day, the Bucks come first in my opinion. It is funny seeing pro-Mo guys mock me for my points of view only to reveal their own hypocrisy in the process.

Now that's funny. :)

Mo and Redd's level of success on the court is about the same as Lee Mayberry and Todd Day......except those two guys never got mega-paydays.

I'm not sure how many people here ever met Lee Mayberry. Nice guy but the very defintion of a quiet talker. You could be standing right next to him, nobody else in the room and you couldn't hear a word the guy was saying.

I want both guys gone in the worst way, but to be a little fair to them, they did have a pure garbage surrounding cast and a rookie head coach who looked completely unqualified for the job he was given.

I'm to lazy to study the rosters of every team in the NBA, but if you remove Mo/Redd, i'm pretty sure the Bucks other 12-13 players are the worst or near worst collection in the league if you also took two of the better players off each roster.

Outside of of Bogut, there isn't another even average player at his position among the other 12 guys. The bench stinks. This roster is a disgusting mess besides Mo/Redd/Bogut.

Both Mo/Redd have things about them as players and big contracts that make me want them shipped out ASAP, but wow, they sure had a stinking pile of trash around them and coaching them. Of the other players on the team besides Mo/Redd/Bogut, i'd be thrilled if magically every last one of them wasn't back next year.

EDIT--Forgot about Sessions, i'd want him back next year
