Wanna be the next Miwaulkee Bucks? draft Caron Butler

Very interesting. I agree with you on some level but I'll have to disagree with you on Butler. I think he is a good player just lacking another few inches. About Ming blocking Carter and Mourning, what do expect given that Ming is 7'5 with a wingspan that allows you to almost touch the rim flat footed you are going to able to block a lot of shots. Look at Shawn Bradley for example, he is even able to get a piece of Shaq's shot.

As for winning championships, the last few champions did have a significant presence standing in the middle, so maybe Ming is a piece to solving the rockets problem. We will just have to wait and see what happens next season.

 

They traded Jabbar for garbage actually. After trading Jabbar it them yrs to recover. They made deals with Seattle and the clipps along with being sorry and getting high picks. The had a lineup in 82, 7 yrs after trading jabbar of :

Terry Cummings via trade with Clipps
Jack Sikma via trade seattle
Paul Mokeski
Ricky Moncreif via draft
Ricky Pierce

Later they added Paul Pressey, Brad Lohaus and some other guys. Its true they were contenders but were always beaten by Philly and Boston in the east.

 

Caron Butler defends better, and has a better inside game than Robinson. They're really not that similar, sfe for the oh, so remarkable fact that both have good jump shots and play the 3. Jeez, should we avoid anyone with those particualr skills?

All of this "oh, if we get this guy, we'll be like team X..." is a load of crap. Players are too unique, especially the stars, to simply look at guys with somewhat similar skills, and believe they're identical. Besides, , add a single good post player to Milwaukee, and they're title contenders.

And, hell, is there anything so wrong with being Milwaukee? Their problems don't come from a lack of talent, but the fact that Sam Cassell is a bit crazy, George Karl can't control his temper, and none of them play any defense... but they've still managed to reach the conference finals. Right now, that sounds like heaven to me. And last I checked, they didn't look hopeless for next year.

If we trade down, I'd imagine Butler will be our prime target. And I hope so, too.

 

You forget Milwaukee plays in the east and we play in the west. Milwaukee would not have it in the playoffs last year and definitely not this year if the were in the west. You have to have an inside presence or your not going anywhere in this conference. Lets look at Dallas, if they were in the east they would have been the #1 seed and would have swept everyone during the playoffs. However, they're only the 4th best team in the West.

 

Did I miss something? Did everyone except for me get the CBA League Pass this year? I watched a ton of Caron Butler and the man is a freakin' stud. Unfortunately, I didn't see Didley of Mr. Ming.

Who actually saw this guy play? Who on this board can say this guy really has game?
