I love George Karl to death and think he's a fantastic coach. But, I think Milwaukee should have started this whole process by getting rid of him. When you have a title-contending team (as much as is possible in the East, anyway) suddenly bomb in the middle of the season, it isn't because the Big 3 suddenly lost all their talent. I thought Karl would be able to put it back together again, but he couldn't manage it the following season. So, he should have been the first to go. Oh well; maybe he can build a team that will do what he wants them to do.
As a Rocket fan, I dislike the Bucks for being directly responsible for making the west stronger. Minnesota now has Cassell, Seattle now has Ray Allen, and the Lakers now have Payton, thanks to the damn Bucks.
He didn't sell it to MJ partially because fans there didn't want MJ to buy. The guy is a senator and certainly he doesn't want to piss off fans (voters).
