I'm in this boat. I always liked Ford much more then Mo and never understood all the hostilities towards him the last 2 years.
Not me
I loved Ford his rookie year, but his crappy attitude the year he came back after his injury and his no defense playing pint sized stature made me glad we traded him before the Bucks could give him an extension.
I then got very leery of resigning Mo after seeing his red cape defense, but held out a sliver of hope that under a new coach his defense would improve. Well, LK was also unable to get Mo to care about defense, i highly doubt now that any coach can. Maybe if a time machine brought Jordan in his prime to the Bucks, he could intimidate Mo into defending better, but that obviously isn't going to happen.
So now i have zero affection left for either guy and will be glad when the day finally comes that neither guy is wearing a Bucks uniform to wave their matador capes to opposing point guards as they penetrate the lane at will.
I do agree that overall Mo gets more blame than he should for the poor records the last two years of these severely low talent teams the Bucks fielded, but he was without question part of the problem and will likely be shopped with good reason.
