I'm sure I'm going to get flamed for this post, but, what the hell...
From about 2006-2011 on this board, I wasted time on this board basically ripping every word that came out of Hammond's mouth, every trade idea, and every move. I thought he should have been fired on the spot for capping out a garbage team with RJ, the S-Jax trade was one of the more lulztastic things ever, etc.
However, myself and a few others would take the tanking complaints too far. "We're not going to tank" would be the response. Fine, I shut up.
I haven't watched the Bucks in almost 3 years but still follow because I was so fed up with some of their moves.
However, we trade one-legged Bogut way too late for a garbage player (would you want to be in the situation of considering resigning him right now?). Yes, I realize there were strong rumors of better deals on the table.
Now we get a solid player on an expiring deal and get his bird rights. We trade another expiring, a borderline NBDL player that everyone thinks is the next James Harden if he gets playing time, and a recent 2nd round pick.
And these last 2 trades are making people want to torch the Bradley Center? I mean, I get it...obviously we should not be making "win" trades sitting in the 8 seed. I've been in the crowd saying that for almost 10 years now. But I really think Bogut (post major injuries) and Tobias Harris have been horrendously overrated on this board.
