    Can the Bucks afford to keep both players?

    It seems like too much money tied up at one position and it is likely that Big Dog gets traded for cheaper backup help.

    Will the Bucks be dealing from a position of strength or will another team be able to get Robinson at a discount?

    Many places have said that the Bucks bribed Tim Thomas to resign by saying that they would go all out trying to trade Glenn Robinson. No one has confirmed it as a fact that I know of though.

    Smeg,

    The Rockets and Bucks have a communication line open because of the trade they made this past summer. The Bucks owe the Rockets a future #1 and the Bucks have expensive duplication at the 3 spot. They are in different conferences and it is almost too logical to me.

    Are you serious about Big Dog or just having fun?

    smeg, I thought you were the minister of defense? Big Dog plays No D. We don't need any more guys that can't play D [​IMG]

    But Finn*,

    G Rob shoots at 47%. You only have to play defense if you shoot at 45% or less.

    Mango,

    <A HREF="http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/Forum3/HTML/007630.html" TARGET=_blank>I agree, this trade makes entirely too much sense to me.
    </A>

    You have been cited due to a 45% similarity with my previous post.

    Mango,

    I am real serious about acquiring the Big Dog, I am sure we had another thread about this a while ago, but i can't find it.

    But realistically i am not sure what we can give up they they would want. I certainly would be willing to do a Pippen like trade and they can have any combination of Drew, Mooch, Walt, Rodgers, Bull, Pig, and Collier.

    As I have said before, he is an All-star and would be a enhancement on what we have, and considering the way we played Defense last season, i don't think anyone can complain about his Defense, which is adequate.

    heb, does that 47% include 3-point shooting as well? If so, by all means give up the farm to get this guy to Houston [​IMG]

    Yes Boob i am the Minister of Defense but Big Dog's Defense is no worse than most of our squad, in fact his Defense is adequate, unlike Walt's and Steve and Cat and Bull's.

    Achebe,

    I kept doing a search for G Robinson threads under the NBA Dish forum. Next time, I will search under all Forums.

    Didn't mean to plagiarize you.

    Mango

    ps did you check your email?

    I think they'll be trading Big Dog away for a big Power Forward... I'm not sold on Jason Caffey as their starter there....

    Smeg,

    Does players + the owed #1 (Bucks) + trade exception get the Rockets and Bucks talking?

    *,

    He shot 36% from behind the arc, 80% from the FT line.

    Unfortunately his 21 ppg was made in playing 36 mpg. He'd have to be much more effective in less time in Houston (so that Langhi can shine [​IMG]).

    Smeg,

    I would think that Milwaulkee's goal would be to trade down in cap. Either they sell G. Robinson to the Bulls, or they seek a team w/ an exception. Hey wait, that's just the Rockets in a few hours!

    DrNuegebauer,

    Then the Hornets and Bucks should be talking.

    Wouldn't PJ for Big Dog make more sense for the Hornets than PJ for Rice?

    Mango,

    I replied to my email. I was merely teasing you about the similarity issue... you opened up the thread in regards to any acquisitions of G. Robinson, not just those by the Rockets. I just thought that I would give myself props. [​IMG]

    Why do you not grace us in the Hangout anymore? It would be fun to get your input in regards to all of the political stuff going on now.

    Achebe,

    Smeg turned it into the Rocket angle.
    My fault for not remembering the other thread.
    The real shame is that I had tracked down the Robinson salary info and had posted in your original thread.

    The Hangout?
    Have to be tomorrow because time for sleep now.

    Hey Smeg,

    I didn't know you lived in Adelaide. An old friend of mine went to school there back in 1994... did you know her? [​IMG]
