ESPN's Sportscenter is reporting that the Toronto Raptors will swap Charlie Villanueva to the Milwaukee Bucks for T.J. Ford and cash considerations.

Bucks General Manager Larry Harris has confirmed the deal, which was posted on the Bucks website.

?The hard part of any trade is having to give up something in return,? Harris said. ?T.J. is a talented, young athlete who gave his all to this organization for three years, both on and off the court. He was an inspiration to all of us when he found the will and strength to fight back from the neck injury he suffered during his rookie season. Many people thought he would never play basketball again, but he thrived in the face of adversity and now has the promise of a long NBA career ahead of him. We wish him much success in Toronto.?

The trade will give the Bucks a formidable frontcourt with last year's first overall selection Andrew Bogut and Villanueva, while the Raptors fill their biggest hole at point guard.

The Milwaukee Bucks have one - and possibly two - trades still in the works that could come to fruition in the days ahead, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

One would undoubtedly involve center Jamaal Magloire, whom Harris would not hesitate to move if the right deal came along. Washington is said to be interested. The other possible trade, according to a source, would be of a more "surprising" nature.

Asked if his trade options involving Magloire had dried up, Harris said: "No. I think the thing was once you got into the draft, it was more focused in on that (draft). I didn't have anything for Jamaal relating to the draft. So when we got into the draft process, it really had no bearing on whether we could move Jamaal or not. (The conversations were) strictly draft picks, future draft picks and things like that."

Harris did try to move into the first round or at least up in the second round.

"A lot of things were going on," he said.

Harris said that he was among those who were on the phone with the Blazers, who made six trades on draft night.

"I was trying to do a couple things with Portland," he said. "They seemed to want to trade their whole team or at least acquire seven or eight players. I mean, it's incredible what was going on. I talked to (Portland scout) John Gabriel, and I said 'John, it's impressive; how are you keeping your roster updated?' They need all kinds of tags and erasers with all that stuff going on."

The Bucks extended Andrew Bogut's contract through the 2007-08 season on Thursday.

They exercised the third-year option on the 7-foot center's deal. The Bucks picked Bogut first overall last year.

"We drafted Andrew last season with the expectation that he would be a part of this franchise for a very long time and this is just another step in that process," general manager Larry Harris said in a statement.

The Milwaukee Bucks have acquired the draft rights for Damir Markota from the San Antonio Spurs in exchange for the better of Milwaukee?s two second round draft picks in the 2007 NBA Draft.

The Bucks previously owned two second round picks for next year?s draft ? their own pick and a pick obtained from the Houston Rockets (they received Houston?s 2007 second round pick on February 24, 2005 along with a 2006 second round pick and Reece Gaines from the Rockets in exchange for Mike James and Zendon Hamilton).

Toni Kukoc will become a free agent this summer. Herb Rudoy, Kukoc's agent, said Kukoc's preference would be returning to the Bucks for a fifth straight season.

"Absolutely,'' Rudoy responded when asked if Kukoc would prefer to remain with the Bucks. "He's very happy there. He would like to continue playing there.''

The Bucks signed Larry Krystkowiak to a multiyear contract Thursday to be an assistant coach.

Krystkowiak, who played for the Bucks during four of his nine seasons in the NBA, joins Milwaukee's coaching staff after two seasons as head coach at the University of Montana.

"From an NBA perspective, Milwaukee is very dear to my heart," Krystkowiak said.

The University of Montana has scheduled a news conference Wednesday concerning the men's basketball program.

Sports information director Dave Guffey declined to comment on reports that coach Larry Krystkowiak would be taking a job with the Milwaukee Bucks, where he played for four seasons from 1987-1992.

A spokeswoman with the Bucks told The Associated Press Tuesday that they were in discussions with Krystkowiak, but had no announcement.

Gery Woeful was told by members of 10 different teams that had interest in acquiring Jamaal Magloire.

?There was quite a bit of dialogue,?? Larry Harris said with a grin.

The prevailing opinion among those interviewed was that a deal involving Magloire would likely be finalized by the draft.

The Milwaukee Bucks announced this week that they are planning a new logo, a new color scheme and, come September, a new uniform in time for next season.

The team will unveil the new logo and the new color scheme June 28, the night of the National Basketball Association draft. The new uniform, a team official said, will be unveiled in September.
