KB21 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Desmond Mason along with some other stuff are going to the Hornets. Now, tell me something. Didn't Milwaukee just draft Andrew Bogut with the first overall pick? Are they questioning that pick now with the trade for Magloire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAHMOR Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Even more, it took Des Mason and a first round pick to get Magloire. I think it may be unavoidable for us to give up a major piece of our young talent to make a trade for a quality bigman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f_town Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 i think they need more than Bogie and Earvin Johnson lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted October 26, 2005 Admin Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 They have Gadzuric too. The trade makes no sense. The Hornets could have got more and the Bucks are already strong at Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weez Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 the Bucks didn't really give up much if they're certain that Magloire's head is on straight. It's a weird trade. NO should have gotten more for him, though they needed the sf/sg. To give up their 'best' player...guess they wanted someone who can run alongside Paul... weird trade all-round though.

WraithSentinel Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I like to know the status of that 1st round pick. That pick should only be top-3 protected and nothing else. If it is lottery protected. Then this is the Davis trade all over again last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I do think it says that they should have the best 4-5 combo in the league now, or at least once Bogut finds his way. I think they are trying to be like the Spurs from a few years ago with Duncan and Robinson. Not saying either of these guys are that caliber, but really who can match up with those two AS A PAIR down low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted October 26, 2005 Premium Member Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I think they have Bogut slated as a PF. He's not as Physical as some suspected so they will try to mold him into Christian Laettner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted October 26, 2005 Premium Member Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 They have Paul, Smith, Mason, Lampje, and Anderson It's evident that they plan to run!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lascar78 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 To me this makes no sense for either team. I guess it has to mean that either they think Bogut is a PF or that he is a couple of years from real PT. I'd assume the former. Don't get this for the hornets at all either. Now they have no real C and it seems to me that they could have gotten better than Mason. I suppose the pick could be real nice, but this trade kills them for this season. I guess it might be a planned tank like when we shipped Walker Either way, I already really liked Milwaukee's odds, now I like them better. I just find it odd that they'll apparently play Bogut at PF. I suppose he can be a PF in the same way Duncan can though, why not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted October 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 It's also evident that they are going to royally SUCK!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emeans Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Yeah I am very confused on that move. Why draft Bogut and not sign Zsa Zsa, if you felt that you needed another big man. Are they not confortable with Bogut and the other big men they have? Do they think they made a big mistake in letting Zsa Zsa walk? Bogut must not be the big man they thought they were getting.

Milwaukee needed a PF in a bad way....they were experimenting with Mason and Simmons playing the 3/4 and it was not working out. Bet they go big at some time this season, starting both Magloire and Bogut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packfill Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I agree, good trade for Milwaukee. They at least have some depth and size combinations to play with at the 4/5. Maybe they do view Bogut as a Duncan type and will use him at the 4 and let Magloire do the dirty work inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lascar78 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I had forgotten that the bucks got simmons. Now this trade makes more sense to me. At the very least they got a player that has more tradable, and they got more depth where it is hard to find depth. I thought that they were left with a gaping hole at the 3 but Ford/Redd/Simmons should do just fine on the court. Good trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weez Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 they also just turned themselves into a very halfcourt team...they're not running much with Magloire and Bogut out there...guess we'll see what type of halfcourt pg Ford is...

GST Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Remember back on draft night when Milwaukee was trying to swing a trade for a big man so they could take Marvin instead of Bogut? I wonder if Maglorie was who they had targeted at that time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted October 27, 2005 Premium Member Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 The rumors were that they were after Magloire or Nene... I remember Denver turned down a Nene for Desmond trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted October 27, 2005 Premium Member Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 With Joe Smith and his injured Knee. Toni Kukoc injured all the time. and Bobby Simmons (not really a PF).. I think this was a move that will tighten up Milwaukee's frontline. I think Bogut will be used as a Laettner/Duncan type 4. I don't think he's nearly as dominant as his hype made him out to be and may spend time on the bench watching Toni/Gadzuric run the PF position for a while. He definitely has flop potential.. This past draft definitely has the ability to be the weakest since 2000 when you had Martin, Swift, Miles, Fizer, Miller, Johnson, Mihm as the top 7.
