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

EDIT: Do you have a link to the audio for that interview? I'd be curious to give it a listen.

I don't but you could go to 1250 WSSP and find it there, it was on the morning show.

I think Dalembert is a good man defensive guy. He can man up and hold his guy down most often times. I think he's much less effective as a help defender aside from the shotblocking threat. I don't think we can funnel penetrating players towards him like we did with Bogut. Offensively he's pretty limited too. He's an ok screener and a decent roll man, occasional jumper, mostly just a garbage put back dunker. McHale runs the flex and you need skilled bigs that can play away from the basket in order to run the flex offense effectively. Thats not Daly.

Listening to Woelfel this morning on WSSP just confirmed my fears. He said they have such an investment in Gooden that by acquiring Dalembert this allows them to move Gooden back to PF and makes it much easier to now give Ersan sort of a take it or leave it offer.

We also got the buyout amount from HOU (1.5) and a future second rounder. Not sure if its their 2013 or what though.

[thomchatt3rton]

If JLamb slips and goes 12th or 13th I'm going to be very, very unhappy.

[Ayt]

Forgive me if I sound like a pessimist dick with all these posts, it's just so GD hard to have any faith in any John Hammond move after the last 4 years.

You are justified. A lot of us feel that way. This trade is not a killer, but its not going to change anything either.

I think the trade obviously makes us better. We add Dalembert and give up nothing basically when it comes to the contributions of the guys we sent out. Moving back 2 spots in the draft isn't a big deal.

Since we are all about making the playoffs, this move clearly helps.

[UWM_Brew_Buck]

Knowing that we could have had Lamb this trade just got a whole lot worse.

[BUCKnation]

Well this trade sucks now.

[europa]

Yup. I like Leuer but this doesn't suck as long as the Bucks turn 14 into something valuable.

Umm so yeah. It was fun wishing while it lasted.

[midranger]

No risk, all reward.

[msiris]

Now I view this trade as garbage. Liked Lamb at 12. Now we got a center who will play 25 minutes a game and Larry Sanders part 3.

[Serge28]

I can **** believe Lamb was still there at 12! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

[LUKE23]

Yep. This trade is now awful.

[SkilesTheLimit]

It won't matter too much. Hammond will be long gone as GM of the Bucks when Henson ever ends up getting meaningful minutes where we can tell how good he will or won't be.

[Jez2983]

This is great. I totally forgot this draft was on, and went to ESPN excitedly to see how the draft went. And that Ross went early, and Leonard.

Then I saw Lamb went at 12. Then I saw we were picking at 14.

Then I came here. Bad times.
