Hammond has come out saying it's highly unlikely that we'll be keeping Ridnour. 1) He has offers worth much more money than we're willing to give and 2) He's been offered starting roles. We no longer have a need for Stackhouse as we have players in Salmons, CDR, Delfino, and Hobson that will be able to replicate what he did for us last season. Thomas is the most likely to come back although even that isn't looking too bright. I'd love to bring him back for another year or two, especially with Bogut's injury history. It would be really nice to have a solid veteran ready in case something happens.

Wow... lost in OT on a buzzer beater! 73-72. I was really impressed with Deron Washington and Darnell Jackson tonight. They combined for 28 points and 15 rebounds. I didn't really think Jackson would have a spot on this team but if he can keep this level of play up I'm sure we can find some minutes for him throughout the season. Larry Sanders is obviously very raw offensively. He missed a lot of close shots and even a few layup attempts. However, he showed that he is a solid rebounder by grabbing seven boards to go along with three blocks. He's a very active player as he's usually the one leading the fast break. He never gives up on a play either. Oh yeah... and Tiny Gallon nailed a 3.

For the Bucks... as it stands now Ridnour, Stackhouse, and Thomas will all be playing for teams other than the Bucks next season.

So he can risk injury? No thanks. There's no reason for him to be there, he's already proven himself at the next level.

I'd like to see Hart win it... but if not him then anyone in the NL. :glasses:

They just love Milwaukee PGs.

I was hoping the Bucks would take him as I was really looking forward to watching him develop this season. Hopefully he recovers just fine.

I feel for you guys.

Not looking so hot early on...

Cavs over Bucks? Cavs over Bobcats? I hope you're joking...

What else is there to go off of?

sorry, but what does this new FLBJ stand for?

Welcome. The Bucks could use another fan.

Since it's the East I'll say there's a possibility of sliding into the 8th seed sense that can be done with ~40 wins. Sad but true.

Exactly why I said he probably didn't give NY much of a look. The way I see it Miami, Cleveland, New Jersey, and Chicago will all be better than New York next season. That organization was just banking on LeBron wanting to be more than a basketball superstar.

Let's be real though, you can't hate him for not wanting to go to your garbage team. The media diluted the entire situation for two years making you all thinking he was going to save your team. It didn't happen. Time to move on. I honestly don't think he ever really considered going to NY. None of the pros there were even related to basketball.

Actually, I think LeBron would have been safe staying in Cleveland. No one would have ripped him for trying to be a "hero" like you say. In fact, they would have praised and worshiped him for it. No matter what team you root for you can always respect someone staying in their hometown trying to finish what they started. In my opinion, Cleveland was his only safe bet if he cared about his image and what not.

Why would you draft this early? There's some injuries/moves/holdouts that will still happen and change everything.

Actually... Bucks fans DO care about the Heat now. As a whole though it's just because if we want to face L.A. in the finals next year we're going to have to go through them.

I'm sorry... I was out of town until now but still managed to watch the majority of this. First off, this was a joke. This entire thing has made a mockery of the NBA. At no point should a player (or three) become bigger than the game itself. That is exactly what has happened in the last few days. It's embarrassing and totally unneeded. I'm completely fine with a team such as the Heat signing three great players like this, but why turn it into a show? I believe I heard LeBron personally guarantee seven (or eight?) titles to Miami. I'm glad he's setting his goals high, so high in fact that it will be impossible for them to reach. I've liked LeBron less and less every year since he came into the league (where he was among my favorite players), now I just can't stand the guy. He's a punk that obviously thinks Team LeBron > NBA. Dan Gilbert obviously feels the same way as his email was spot on. I feel bad for the entire Cavs organization as well as their fans. They just got played. I thought Wade has some class? This whole thing really has me questioning him as well now. This whole thing was a joke. If you get the players, fine, congrats, whatever... don't turn it into a whole fiasco before you even step on the court together (in a Heat jersey). They just put a huge target across their chests before the season even started. Truly ridiculous that you can't watch anything now without hearing about a new show, party, etc that the group will be doing that night. The NBA has taken a huge hit from this, not because of the team that was formed, but because of the show that has been created from it. -_-

I'm not doing a whole thing right now but I will personally guarantee the Bucks finish ahead of the Bulls.

I can't imagine how this must feel for the fans..

As opposed to what? Sorry if that seems like a stupid question... I've never filmed any game play before.
