Ersan Ilyasova (the Turking James Fanco) has 5 year $40M offer

Could be a solid 4th best player on your team. Pretty good at everything. Not great at anything.

Let's hope Ilyasova chooses to sign with another team. The Bucks are one of the very few teams who could be in the market for Scola, if they lose out on Ilyasova.

Something like Scola for Beno Udrih and the Bucks 2013 1st rounder (lottery protected) would work.

I like Ilyasova, but $9M for 5 years is a bad contract wating to happen.

 

This is a very good thing. We want the East to be super competitive so Toronto finishes poorly. That means we need the Bucks to finish well instead of choking down the trench like last year. ersan's a huge part of the bucks having success.

 

I wonder what Bucks fans think about their team's prospects this year. They're kind of like the Rockets of last year--they even have the same Dallybear at center--except they are a bit younger. Ceiling remains low though, but they must be somewhat excited to see what a Jennings Ellis backcourt combo can come up with. On top of that you now have Ilyasova, Udoh, and Henson to make up a very young frontcourt.

 

new CBA rules have a mandatory limit in salary that must be reached. 80% of the cap, if Bucks are under it they needed to offer him this much to come into compliance

 

OR we hedge our bets and give them Scola for the same pick deal as Toronto!!

(doubt they'd give us the same pick value, but we could perhaps have just top 10 protection on it)
