They cleaned us out pretty good didn't they.
As a good gesture, they should trade us Michael Redd for Damp.

I was hoping Tyronn Lue would be our backup pg. Guess we're going with Barea and JET.

The Lue signing is actually mildly interesting. The Bucks already have Mo Williams and Ramon Sessions. The FO has been so high on Sessions why do they need Lue???

They make like Session's but they didn't see enough of him last season to know if he's a player in this league. Am I confusing him with someone else? Didn't he have like a great 2 week run at the end of last season? I wonder how do they feel about MO Williams. I know they liked him going into last season but seems like their's always ramblings concerning him being dealt.

I seem to remember at the end of last season the Bucks braintrust was souring a bit on Williams. Not sure why. But you're right about Sessions. It was really just a bit of time at the end of the season when he was putting up double-doubles (pts and assists).

July 17, 2008
CBSSports.com wire reports
MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Bucks have signed guard Tyronn Lue and forward Malik Allen, giving new coach Scott Skiles two more veterans to work with.
The team did not reveal terms of either contract.
The 31-year-old Lue played for Atlanta and Dallas last season, averaging 5.8 points and 1.5 assists in 50 games.
The 6-foot guard was drafted out of Nebraska with the 23rd pick in the 1998 draft. He has averaged 8.9 points, 3.3 assists and 1.8 rebounds in his 10-year career, which included championship seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2000 and 2001.
Allen began last season in New Jersey before being traded to Dallas. The 6-foot-10 Allen averaged 4.6 points and 2.7 rebounds last season and has averaged 5.7 points and 3.2 rebounds in his seven-year career.

I liked Lue, but he's replaceable. Allen was worthless when his jumper wasn't falling.

Lue got 2 years 5 million. He said he would have taken Boston if they offered 1.8 million for one year, they offered 1.2 million.

Haha, Alby's head is going to explode.
Anyways, I think this says more about Scott Skiles and why Avery wasn't even Chicago's Plan C than anything.
