    Not saying he's that much better or has a greater production value overall (both very similar on both ends), but I think Milwaukee secretly wouldn't mind getting value for Sanders in a deal especially if they can get another big man like Asik for a separate deal at a decent cost.

    I think the Bucks simply extended Sanders because they didn't want to lose him for nothing in free agency much like the Hornets and Eric Gordon.

    Asik might not be better, but Sanders has had some serious "quality citizen and teammate" issues lately.

    Exactly, unless we throw Jones and Canaan in there while taking back Udoh or something.

    cool thing about this is if you are right you will be greatly respected after this...if you are wrong you will be flamed forever whether you really have the information or not... If the deal is true and just doesnt get done this board will eat you alive regardless.

    Not saying I buy everything you said...but i am at least open an appreciative of the information.

    Thats the motto around here on clutchfans...if you have even a whisper of news or information from the inside KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!!! WE DONT BELIEVE ANYONE AND WE HATE PEOPLE THAT HAVE INFO!!! GRRR!!!

    ask doc rocket...

    Anyways thanks for the info and well see what happens. Sounds like a morey move to me.

    Will never be the shooter Durant is, but will be a better defender.

    True. And that's why I give it a 10 percent chance.

    His jumper has pretty decent form, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

    OP has 11 posts, good risk reward for him. Wrong, make a new account, right you're a star. Now, that's a Morey move.

    My uncle has hands the size of sledgehammers and he says Jesus will return on August 1st, 2014. I don't want to name him because he might get in trouble and his hands will shrink to baby size and Jesus will never return for the rapture.

    OP thanks for the rumor it's what makes this site what it is. Ignore the idiots who have also flamed Doc Rocket and cyberx and have tiny wang issues.

    Well, every big man with a butt and some offensive skills pushes Sanders out of the way for a layup. I remember those numbers and not sure why they are missing that. But it's a recurring theme. Sanders gets butted out consistently. Asik would be a slightly better fit for that roster on the defensive end, but still a bad fit overall.

    So overall, yeah, if I had to bet, I'd bet they don't want Asik. That's a lot of money tied into centers in Milwaukee and they'd still be a weird fit.

    And of course if we are talking about Asik for 'kounmpo, then it sounds especially unlikely.

    Sung to the probably-now non-P.S. tune of "1 Little 2 Little Indians":

    One little...

    Two little....

    Three little "I-call-B.S."......

    Four little...

    Five little...

    Six little "I-call-B.S."...

    Seven little "I-call-B.S." boys....

    Damn, if he's a troll, or especially if he's legitimate, I wonder if he'll ever post again.

    Damn, dudes.

    My brother-in-law met years ago with Brent Barry, teammate of Chris Webber, who at the time told me flat out Webber wouldn't sign here. I got more than a few "I don't know, Webber could change his mind!" replies, but not this many "I call b.s." replies.

    Guess I had more than 11 posts at the time.

    Good-ness gra-cious Great Balls of Fire.

    He also might get his uncle fired.
    Whistleblow and give us info if YOUR job is on the line, but if the OP is putting someone else's job at stake then its wrong.

    Hopefully Giannis makes up for drafting that garbage Malike Badiane. (if we actually get him).

    It's hard to be a stretch four when you can't shoot.

    LOL. True. It seems he shot >70% in Greek League, probably putting weights on and changed his shooting.

    Yes, Greece offered him citzenship only after he got drafted. Bankrupt Greece are gold diggers.

    I believe OP. My uncle went hunting with Stone Cold Steve Austin back at the height of his popularity and he got me a personalized autograph. So I know that uncles can come through.

    In such a deal I don't see Asik going to the Bucks. If it were a straight up deal between two teams I'd guess either Lin &/or Parsons would figure instead.

    Are Knight or Mayo considered disappointments in Milwaukee? The Rockets would probably get back Gary Neal if PGs are involved.
