#12, Brockman, Leuer, SL for #14, Dalembert

[stellation]

I will laugh if we pick Zeller or Meyers. This board will go nuts.

There is little doubt in my mind that John does that to fix our opinion of him after this trade. It makes too much Hammondsense- Sam is an expiring, pick a young C, they learn from Sam, next year they're starting calibre and we've saved $10 mill on the cap and can use it to bring back Maggette.

I've read a few pages of the thread, don't get why people are so upset about it. It's like you're mad just because it happened.

We move down TWO spots and will likely draft the same player we would have at #12. We trade 3 meaningless guys to our team to get a clear upgrade at the center position. It also ensures that GOODEN WILL NEVER HAVE TO PLAY CENTER (this cannot be understated).

Hell, we could amnesty Gooden, resign Ersan, and we'd have a very respectable frontcourt. But that's just dreaming.

Jennings, Monta, Dunleavy, Gooden, Dalembert

we're so much better than last year, we're totally gunna make the playoffs

If we don't resign Ersan, I'd hope / expect us to acquire at least one other starting caliber player at one of the forward spots at least.

be careful what you wish for

If we're hungry for a shooter, this trade allows us to pick up someone like Martell Webster to play some 2-3 for us.

I think Tobias might be counted to shoot a good percentage from the perimeter.

Also, Udoh was ok last year shooting the mid-range elbow jumper. And there's Gooden.

[Baddy Chuck]

Trade Monta for Matthews/11
Draft Ross/Lamb and Sullinger/Jones

Jennings / Draft / Dunleavy / Draft / Dalembert

I wouldn't hate that. It all rides on Monta being traded though. If he's on the team come game 1, I will not root for any wins.

[Baddy Chuck]

It also ensures that GOODEN WILL NEVER HAVE TO PLAY CENTER (this cannot be understated).

Once we got Udoh, Gooden would never have to play center anyways. But Skiles still did it. I expect to see Gooden play more center even with Dalembert.

nbadraft.net has us picking Lamb after the trade

We move down TWO spots and will likely draft the same player we would have at #12. We trade 3 meaningless guys to our team to get a clear upgrade at the (back up) center position. It also ensures that GOODEN WILL NEVER HAVE TO PLAY CENTER (this cannot be understated).

Hell, we could amnesty Gooden, resign Ersan, and we'd have a very respectable frontcourt. But that's just dreaming.

Fixed. Nope of these players really matter. All depends on who we pick. And you are fooling yourself if you think Gooden wont see the court.

[JayMKE]

It's pretty clear Hammond and the cronies actually believe that Monta and Gooden are gunna turn this team into winners so any fantasies about them dumping them is just that. Trading for Dalembert just reenforces this in my opinion.

[Fresh_Prince12]

I can remember lots of people going crazy when we picked up Jackson. Look what happened there? So we got another aging vet in the twilight of his playing days and the Bucks are saved. The only good thing is that we only dropped two spots instead 12 like last year.

there's a big difference. We needed jackson to be our leader. with daly we know what he gives us and don't expect nothing more

Trade w/ HOU official - #Bucks receive Dalembert + 14th pick + Future 2nd Rd pick in exchange for Brockman + Leuer + Livingston + 12th pick

future 2nd rd added

[emunney]

Any news about who that extra player is? Hope it's the rights to Llull.

[jr lucosa]

Future 2nd too? No biggie but that's cool.

[emunney]

Drat.

[Bernman]

Another totally pointless move that will be sure to help the Bucks hover around 35-40 wins for another year. Hooray.

Someone put this team out of its misery.

[SheedsWeed]

A second rounder too, nice.

[JayMKE]

hopefully the rights to Syzmon Szewczyk never get traded

But I will wait until I see what we do tomorrow night.

We won this trade on the technical merits IMO but it isn't enough to change our course of mediocrity.

Quality deal for both programs. Bonus on the extra 2nd.

[Balls2TheWalls]

This smells like the classic "poo poo platter" trade, and for once we aren't the ones on the receiving end. We can only hope that Ellis won't get picked up. We could field a legitimate team if we went hard after Eric Gordon.
