Hammond leaving for Milwaukee (old thread)

That's the story I always heard as well.

Sounds like Zeke.

Prolly went a lil more like...

Davi..."I'll hire you in the front office as an assistant something or other and we'll see where it goes from there"

Later to a reporter...

Zeke..."I'm going to be the Owner/President/GM/VP by the end of the week"

btw..thanx mxy

So I like Hammond and all, but if they are really prepared to let Sessions walk away and not match the MLE offer that he'll get from someone, then I'm just lost with what the plan is.

Trade Jefferson, I get that. Trade what you got for Jefferson, I get that. Let Charlie V AND Sessions walk, now you're starting to lose me.

They did sign Bogut to an extansion last summer, so there's something that they said yes to, but was he hired just to come in and tell everyone goodbye?

Must be nice being a Bucks fan.

It's the opposite of Isiah's plan. Isiah wants the highest payroll in history, Hammond wants his payroll to be under $6 million.

The way Sessions was handled last year was pretty confusing too. His numbers always looked solid but they did everything they could to avoid playing him for much of the year. There has to be something else going on here.

I have a feeling Skiles doesn't like him. You can get yourself in trouble if you start making decisions on talent based on the whims of a notably ornery coach.

Don't think this is Hammonds plan, MIL is losing cash and he's just there to make some for himself.

With Brandon Jennings and Luke Ridnour, there's not much space. Luke will be harder to trade, so I think they're just going to let him walk. Plus like someone mentioned, Skiles hated his ass

So Sessions ends up where?

Portland just Miller. Is New York gonna let KyptoNate walk?

Currently the #5 seed, lol.

Way to go John Hammond.

And it looks like Bogut has really improved too.

Everyone always says C and PG are the 2 hardest positions to fill.

Milwaukee has Bogut and Jennings, so they're doing alright.

Will be interesting how they move foward with this squad. Is this a weird one off playoff season or is it the start of something legit?
