    My Bucks play in the same division the Central :grin: I worry much more than you guys. But simply with him it will be..very difficult to beat them in the finals. Joe Johnson has a LOT left in the tank. If he comes off the bench? Their bench that was a weakness will be upgraded tremendously.


    They will trade for him the hayward contract. They might even get rid of Varejaos albatross.

    if CLE wins the title with joe johnson, it could be particularly bad for us. in terms of attracting big name free agents and even retaining dwight, having the poorest owner in the league who's never paid lux tax could prove a deterrent

    You aren't making a case for what is best "long term" by arguing what is better "right now" and what happens long term doesn't matter.

    He's right in that KJ is better long term even if you don't care what happens to the team in the long term.

    Who would they trade? Haywood? His deal doesn't come close to Johnson's. Someone else would have to be included.

    the one who will be included will be varejao. Varejao has one or two more guaranteed and then only partially guaranteed but he could retire and save the nets of capspace.

    wow lol i thought the spurs' was the most poor but I don't know the owners very well.
    however he will get much more money with the tv deal and he will be able to pay just fine. I hope/think. Besides he has Morrey. The other teams like Cavs have made idiot decisions that Morrey will never have made.

    Morey will not do this trade, at least he will not do this now .
    If we haven't chance to get the players we really need, Morey will wait and wait!

    I'm trying not to worry, but the Mavs signing Jeremy Evans, Louis Williams to Lakers, my concern for lessened value out there is growing

    he will definitely not trade jones for mayo I hope. (not as a bucks fan as a rocket fan).
    But mayo will be good next to harden. Much MUCH better than someone off the mill midget pg on a vet min.

    Absolutely sucks about Stuckey. If we don't make a trade for a playmaker I don't see us sniffing the WCF again with the current team and Smoove.
