The Milwaukee Bucks traded Charlie Bell and Dan Gadzurik to the Golden State Warrios for Corey Magette.

 This is a good move for both teams and potentially a great move for Milwuakee.

Every Monday, with the assistance of the good people over at www.basketball-reference.com, I like to take a look deep into the statistics of teams and players from around the league in a little post I like to call “Fun with Box Scores”.

So, things aren't looking good for the NBA right now.  There are a lot of reasons, the economy, it struggles compared to the other sports anyway, superstar bailout calls, the "thug" image, and mainly the fact the refs don't really know how to call the game.  I have a hard time watching somebody get 4 steps through the lane and a 4 second later continuation call; sorry, but that's not basketball.  Toss in the fact that these refs that don't apparently enforce the rules are going to go on strike and they also gamble on basketball.. things aren't looking good.  Teams are desperate to pack the stands.

The 2009-2010 Milwaukee Bucks roster is not yet set, but that doesn't mean we don't know where they are heading.  We do know where they are heading though, and that is straight down.  They are dumpster diving for young "talent" to try to turn themselves into a young, exciting squad.  Unfortunately, the young pieces that they have are either:  raw or simply not talented enough to make an impact, and this is going to be a long season in Milwaukee.

Summer league is a time for development.  The Lakers are still deciding on what to do with Lamar Odom.  But, in the meantime, Adam Morrison is making the most of summer time.  He had 24 points 5 rebounds, 3 assist, and 1 turnover in his summer league debut.  Then, he had 22 points and hit 4 three pointers in his second game. Great numbers and improvement.  If Morrison can contribute off the bench, it will provide much needed insurance for if/when Ron Artest melts down.

The Vince Carter Trade:  Ok, getting Vince Carter is good.  But losing Courtney Lee and forcing Turkoglu out of town as a result of it isn't good.  I would rather have Lee and Turkoglu than Carter.  So, to me, Orlando is now worse.  This is a downgrade.  New Jersey's still not a very good team.

The Milwaukee Bucks had a dissappointing year.  After trading for Richard Jefferson and having Michael Redd, it looked as if a serious move was going to happen.  Andrew Bogut and Redd played for less than half the season.  And that made all the difference.  This is a crucial time for the Bucks.  Keith Bogans and Damon Jones are both free agents. Charlie Vllanueva had a break out year and is a restricted free agent.  And, to top things off, Jefferson and Redd both could opt out of their contracts next summer.  If things don't go well this year, that could happen. Also, Ramon Sessions was a nice surprise. He is also a restricted free agent.

Only being a couple weeks away from the draft, you look at what can the bucks do in the draft to take a step in the direction of at least having a winning season? Is there someone out there who can contribute instantly and make us a better team at pick 10? I would like to think so the bucks are slim at PF but there is no one that really wows you at 10 at PF, the bucks also have a huge need at PG with Luke being on his last year and Ramon being a free agent. This years draft is especially deep at PGs with Steph Curry, Ty Lawson, Johnny flynn all who could be available at 10. I truly believe one of the these guys could really make an impact I hate the last few years of decisions we have made starting back with getting rid of our talent every year Allen for Mason and half a season of Grandaddy Gary Payton, Tj ford, Sam Cassell Glenn Robinson, and the list continues. Also we have had horrible luck in the draft with the exception of Andrew Bogut, which if you look at it that draft that draft was the worst possible draft to have the number one pick, we could have gotten bogut at 5 any other year he would have come out. Yi was and will be terrible, Joe alexander is athletic and thats it, he will never start, the other year we didnt even have a first round thanks to the ray allen trade. This franchise is due to start winning and i love the moves we made last season but it is going to take a lot to undo all that has been done to us ( the organization, the fans, the nba) I believe a good franchise PG could be exactlty what we need and i believe we can get that at 10.

Hello Bucks Fans,

Charlie V (UConn) made a friendly wager with teammate Charlie Bell (Michigan State) about whose alma matter would win the Final Four game this past weekend. The loser would have to wear a jersey of the winners home school while doing an interview.

One day after the NBA Trade Deadline passed, many Knicks played like they had a world of pressure taken off their shoulders.  With much speculation swirling around whether or not the Knicks would deal away enigmatic guard Nate Robinson and workhorse David Lee, both were able to breath easier last night knowing that they'd be playing in New York for the remainder of the season.

We're about 35 games into the NBA season right now -- nearly to the midway point -- and the New Jersey Nets and Milwaukee Bucks are holding on to the final two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference. I doubt that's the way it will end, however, because the list of teams that are on the outside looking in is quite an interesting one: Philadelphia 76ers, Chicago Bulls, Toronto Raptors, and Indiana Pacers (to name the true contenders).

What to think about last Saturday's game... surprising but not surprising. What i mean by that statement is that game leading up to overtime my have been surprising to some but not to me. The Milwaukee Bucks came into the contest on a 3 game upward swing and it seemed like a young team was determined to keep that momentum going against the defending champs. The play of the young Bucks definitely threw the Celtics off guard from the start.Toward the end, emotions got high which made the game very entertaining to watch.

Second-chance points have hurt the Memphis Grizzlies all season and Friday night wasn't any different as they fell to Milwaukee 101-96 in overtime.

The Bucks (5-5) dominated the boards by a 62-36 margin, grabbing 23 offensive rebounds, and outscored the Grizzlies 28-12 in second-chance points.  The Grizzlies failed to contain the Bucks' front line as Richard Jefferson, Luc Mbah a Moute and Andrew Bogut combined for 57 points and 42 rebounds. Only Hakim Warrick could manage double figure rebounds for the Grizzlies with 10.

If there is a positive the Grizzlies can take from their 132-103 loss to the New York Knicks on Wednesday, it's that they probably won't run into a team having that kind of hot streak again this season.
