Richard Jefferson being talked about with Cleveland (Bucks would get Szczerbiak's expiring deal) and Portland (for LaFrentz's expiring deal and Travis Outlaw). I also heard San Antonio, but I don't know who they would be dangling.
As far as I'm concerned, the Bucks can just pack up and relocate to Seattle or something. Once Redd went down, their fate in fringe playoff purgatory was sealed. and all hopes of getting a nice trade package for him next year was squashed. They're still too talented to completely tank, and not good enough to be much more than a sacrificial first round opponent for a top seed.
They desperately need a new arena, but no sane person in the Milwaukee area would be willing to help finance a new arena through taxes in this economy when they're also stuck paying for Miller Park for like the next 20 years. Herb Kohl needs to sell the team before he dies, and hasn't gotten any solid offers because he won't listen to anyone who won't commit to keeping the team in Milwaukee.
I lost most of my interest in the team years ago when they gave away Ray Allen for two months of Gary Payton. Ever since then I've pretty much been a man without a team. Going to school out on Long Island, I've kind of been attracted to the Knicks due to them being on TV all the time, but that's more because I'm attracted to the collective freak show they've been recently. I was a pretty big Bulls fan growing up (mostly due to Jordan and the fact that they were always on the NBA on NBC during the weekends, my only chance to watch live NBA games), and that interest is kinda coming up again with Derrick Rose being there. But for the most part I still have no real ties.
Edit: Jesus, I'm the Noid of the sports forum.
