That is simply not true. All these players said they enjoy the city of Milwaukee. I just love how you make things up LOL

Loved it so much they left for more money and came back for more money. Just because they don't pull a Gary Payton doesn't mean they love being here. All these guys have said similar things about other places they played for as well. They aren't burning bridges because they want to keep the option open of getting paid. Thankfully Herb Kohl isn't here to grant them that wish anymore.

Look leaving for more money doesn't make it that they did not like or enjoy playing Milwaukee. That fact they came back doesn't specifically mean it was because we offered them more money. Its very possible they were offered similar contracts elsewhere but actually chose Milwaukee. But off course Baddy has a crystal ball right? Or maybe he gets his info from Psychic Friends Network.

That goes both ways, you certainly can't be sure these guys love this team so much they'd love to be back. History pretty much shows that these guys only come back for money, especially in Milwaukee. Doesn't take a crystal ball to realize not many teams were going to give Carlos Delfino $3 million a year to sit out with a broken leg. Hell, nobody took him at the draft when Houston was willing to pay someone to take him on an expiring contract.

Delfino's injury was not know to be that severe to after the deal was done already. The year previous he had his best season with Houston and was a sold contributor off the bench. To say he wasn't offered a similar deal could only be know by his agent or one of the other teams they talked with. Off course your subscription to the Psychic Friends Network tells your otherwise right?

Yeah its the same network that allows me to not have a laughable notion that players often leave after their rookie contracts or that Ben Gordon was a superstar.

Ben Gordon was on the verge of being a star. Google his name read some of the articles by actual sports writers. As far as players leaving after their rookie contracts, you fail to consider how many of them are traded because they are not happy with their situation or a team feels a change on scenery will make them perform better which is often the case.

You keep forgetting Milwaukee is not a desirable place for many players to come too. That will not change until the atmosphere changes. Take some nice steps now to correct it is a positive step in the right direction. Add to the fact that the tax payers are going to be asked to help fund a new stadium and keeping the status on a 2 or 3 more years re-building project for this team is a recipe for disaster. I for one don't want to see the Bucks on there way out of town. Do you?

No, but guys like Ramon Sessions and Zaza Pachulia have literally zero pull in keeping the team here. In fact, bad contracts for players who don't move the needle probably push us closer to Seattle. Pushing for 40 wins isn't swaying public opinion any more then a new shiny rookie would.

17. Ramon Sessions LATEST RUMORS
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / 2013-14 team: Milwaukee
12.3 ppg, 4.1 apg
Underrated guard that's really good at driving to the basket.

- See more at: http://hoopshype.com/free_agency_2014.h ... uDXhr.dpuf

Ramon and Zaza working with a nice core of your players does alot of good for this team. Zaza is considered one of the better passing big men. Ramon and Zaza can give quality minutes to help the younger guys develop. We did not have a coherent offensive system in place last year. Jason Kidd will change that and the guys will respond.

There's something to be said on having veterans like sessions on a team to show what being a professional is. But Knight is a pretty steady and mature player, as is Ersan, Pachulia and Delfino. I think that's enough.

But please don't trade quality assets like Henson and Knight for a 6'1" point guard who can't shoot or pass.That is insane. Bledsoe is one of the most exciting players in the league. He can take it to the basket with the best of them. But the same people who decried Knights lack of point guard skills, now want Bledsoe. Don't give up decent players for an injury plagued short point guard who can't shoot or pass. And while he can play great defense, half the time he doesn't. Again, look at the draft express video summary of him.

My fear is that Hammond, who is known as a good drafter but poor trader, will get taken again, like he did with giving up Harris. There is a plan in place. Stick to it. Don't abandon it after one month.

I will admit, though, if Gordon Hayward gets the max, then half the league is deserving.

Ric Bucher just kind of threw it out there, not sure how much validity there is to it.

If I were the Suns, I'd sell high on Dragic. That team needs to tank.

McDonoughs all about asset management. Looking to cash in while gorans value is high and before he opts out next year. They are going to be looking for a good return though. Bledsoe isn't going anywhere; there hasn't been one report of him even visiting another team.

too good of a coach and too many decent players to be terrible. They'll keep adding under 25 assets and will try to win with them and eventually try to package those assets for a star.

I wouldn't say he's trash. I think a team like Indy could use him, for example. He has some definite strengths.

Sessions would be great for a team who needs a scorer sparkplug.

West happened to all these so called trades Bone had in place? Why is Ersan still on this team?
