And yet, both teams will be better off as a result. Who'da thunk it.

It really was a matter of reading some articles and going through the salaries

glad to see him doing his homework. does milwaukee even have a scout team? i hope he was sure to check every team's message board, too. wouldnt want to waste a resource like that when your dealing with multi million dollar contracts.


Patterson has said his struggles with alcoholism were the culprit for his past problems and reiterated to the Bucks staff that he's moved on. Harris agreed.

why do so many alchoholics end up in milwaukee? cant we just give them a fighting chance and keep them in utah?

This makes a shitload of sense for the bucks.

They get the backup 2/3 player and lose Joe who has no need now.

Malgloire and Gdzuric and Brian Skinner and Bogut in the 4/5, where does Joe come?

I think these two guys have been on 743 teams if you combine their careers.

And LOL at B-Diddy's observation about sending the alcoholic to Milwaukee. Maybe he can go on a few brewery tours.

In a related note, I just read that Latrell Sprewell owns a boat named "Milwaukee's Best". Classic.

The Bucks look like they may be improved a bit, IMO, especially their bench. I'm not sure if Blake will start or Mo Williams, but I think that combo fills the TJ Ford void nicely, and Charlie Bell can even help out at the point if needed.

Bogut/Gadzuric
Villaneuva/Skinner
Simmons/Patterson/Noel
Redd/Bell
Blake/Williams

The Bucks are apparently high on their Euro too (drafted in 2005) so you might see Patterson play (defend) some SG with Bell at the point.

They're versatile but don't get too excited.

Patterson and Williams are expiring. IIRC Blake and Bell are also expiring!

Skinner might be expiring as well.

If this info is correct it will be an interesting season in Milwaukee

i'd like Waukees roster...only their coach is retarded...man the central divison will be fucking tough...Chicago, Milwaukee got better, Indy will improve if they can get Big Al...Cleveland has done nothing so far, but Lebron won't get less calls than last year...toughest divison by far
