Ahhhhhh!!! A Bucks Post!

Dare I say it, are the Milwaukee Bucks making smart, interesting, & exciting moves to get people WANT to care about Milwaukee Bucks basketball again? It's a step in the right direction for sure.

We are a WI-sports blog...so let's break it down.

First, they dump the hated Bobby Simmons (Who I'm officially labeling the "Jeffrey Hammonds" of basketball) and a tall Chinese guy who is either 20 or 24 and is scared to play down low for a career 17-5 big man who can bang down low.

Now...I don't claim to know the NBA that well...but this seems like a great move for the Bucks. I'd like to think that if you'd ask any Bucks fan, "Who would you rather have right now...Jefferson or Yi?" they would respond by saying, "Are you crazy? Jefferson!"

Apparently his contract isn't that bad either. Something like $40 million for the next 3 years. Whatever...sounds ok to me.

Then they take the beast that is Joe Alexander from West Virginia in the draft. Awesome. He's going to fit in nicely with the team as the 6th/7th man that can play the 3 or the 4. Here is Bill Simmons' take:
Milwaukee takes Joe Alexander with the eighth pick, a good idea because Bilas thinks he's a "freak of an athlete" and has "freakish athleticism." And if that's not enough, he was born in Taiwan and speaks Mandarini. I like what I'm doing as the new Bucks GM -- I stole Richard Jefferson for a broken-down Bobby Simmons and the Chairman, and I drafted a proven college player with freakish athleticism who speaks Mandarin and gives the state of Wisconsin a white guy to rally around. I'm 2-for-2! YES WE CAN!

So there you have it. Bill likes both the moves the Bucks made yesterday. It appears to be a step in the right direction.

NOW...one more move has to be made. Either Redd or Mo has to go...(or the Senator).

K bye Coach K...

...good luck with all your future endeavors.

In a SHOCKING move, the Bucks fire Coach Krystkowiak this morning. Wow! Didn't see that one coming. Apparently going 26-56 is not a good idea if you plan on retaining your job as a NBA head coach.

I'll bet you a cold blatz light that Coach K heads down to college...accepting a job at a nice school somewhere in the WCC or something. To bad you turned down the Utah job a few years ago hey Larry!?

It appears at this point in time that the Bucks are going after Scottie Skiles or Rick Carlisle. Either one would be good I suppose. Skiles is a notorious hardass, so I'm not sure how that would blend in with this massive ego-inflated team the Senator currently employs.

Anybody notice Bogut finished averaging 14 & 10...and they don't run the offense through him yet? I'm just saying...

Email Herb Kohl about Simmons!

I've had several Hackers email me the link below which is Senator Kohl's main contact information. Can Chuckie Hacks be responsible for getting Simmon's an interview? Can't hurt to try! What else are you going to do today between 8 - 5? Work? Please...send an email!

Email the Senator!
