I hope Bogut can avoid surgery. I can't imagine that a bad hip injury, repaired with surgery, is an easy thing to come back from. I will give hm props for being a tough SOB, however. Hope he gets better over the break.

I still persist that LH is a very good GM and will have no problems landing a position elsewhere. Its unfortunate that we never have seen how good he can be. A tiger doesnt change his stripes look at Sterling in LAC he is back to his old ways again problem is Kohl period.

One more thing about all the Bogut bashing that went on soem 20 or so pages ago. It isnt exactly out there completely quite yet and most peopel who are "in the know" only have slight details but Drew is playing on one leg and is "very close" to having season ending surgery. However he is still out there fighting and grinding. Funny once you actually knwo whats going on with guys in a real aspect how soem things change.


If this is true(and i have no reason to doubt it) then this is a good example of of why I think Bogut could grow to be a good leader.

I mean it's not a pinky or a knee hurt while dunking, but still sound bad.

From my understanding it would be a relatively simple procedure where he would come back and never have this issue again.

MO - Needs to go. He is not the PG for a playoff caliber team. Hey may do well in Miami considering they have Wade and Marion, two good defenders. (I should think they would want him)


Mo's not the PG for a playoff caliber team, but he'd do well in Miami?

So he just needs to be on a team with better players is what you're saying?

No, but it's basically common knowledge that Mo would be a better fit with a backcourt mate that handles the ball and can initiate offense on his own.

Wade is that player that would allow Mo to play off the ball quite a bit allowing him to be the scorer he is more effective at than playmaker.

I think he needs to be on a team where he's not the primary creator on offense. D wade will have the ball in his hands the majority of the time, and mo can focus more on scoring.

So I think thats what he means. So yeah, if we had a brandon roy type player then Mo could probably be a good fit here doing his thing (which is scoring.)

That's good news. I guess it just seems like this would be a tough thing to come back from, but what do I know about hip injuries.

Yup. I've always believed there are four teams in particular where Mo could do well as a starter:

Lakers - Kobe
Cavs - LeBron
Heat - Wade
Rockets - McGrady

Each of those teams has a player who is basically their team's PG so they don't need a prototypical PG. Mo would be a good fit on a team like that.

The Hawks also could fit since they have Johnson, who has PG-type skills (though not to the level of the four players above). So if Atlanta thinks more highly of Mo now than it did last summer, perhaps the Bucks could dangle Mo in front of them while trying to get Childress in return.

That would be great... However if they get childress, it will probably be important for the bucks to find a team that would take simmons off the bucks hands.

Otherwise I can't see kohl signing childress long term to the type of deal it might take with simmons dead weight still on the roster.

"following the alleged team meeting...Gary doesn't do realgm...cliff does...he has read realgm about supposed team meeting and if you read the thread, it's spicy stuff, kind of stuff that sells newspapers...the question is since you're not seeing a bi-line, you have to wonder how much is real and what is fiction...we don't know if it's fake and that's why we didn't touch it...we need a bi-line in a paper to report it...until we can say for sure, we're not going to report it (Even though they're talking about, which is hilarious)...90% of the stuff isn't credible..."

Yep, we all think alike, I figured pretty much everyone knew that about Mo by now.

He then went on to say talking to Jim Paschke would be credible, if he denies this then it's not true. Yeah, I'm sure a member of the Bucks organization is going to tell the truth on the radio if this is true. Duh Cliff. :rofl:

I wouldn't be surprised if Paschke told the truth to them, but probably would do so off the record and ask they don't report it
