Gordon, Sampson Could Reunite With BucksIndiana guard Eric Gordon and former Hoosiers' Coach Kelvin Sampson could reunite in the NBA with the Bucks, according to The Indianapolis Star. Milwaukee holds the eighth pick in June's NBA Draft, and Sampson is now an assistant with the franchise. "We had a real good relationship," Gordon said Thursday afternoon. "After all the stuff I've been through in college with Illinois and Indiana and all that and for me to play for him my first year of college, we got pretty close." "It'd be neat, but there's a lot of other good coaches out there. I don't want to just be specific on playing for him."

"There are going to be some changes; it's a no-brainer," Villanueva said in a phone interview with the Journal-Sentinel. "I'm starting to hear the same rumors I heard when I was in Toronto. I can't control that." He was traded from the Raptors to the Bucks two summers ago in exchange for point guard T.J. Ford. Milwaukee has a new GM in John Hammond and a new coach in Scott Skiles, and changes appear inevitable after a dismal season. "It's not the easiest feeling, but I'm more prepared for it now," Villanueva said. "Is it realistic I'll be back? I don't know. There are a lot of uncertainties."
