Some Other Thoughts

Some other thoughts:

Harris and head coach Larry Krystkowiak talked about signing a "significant free agent." How is that going to happen if they re-sign Mo Williams and Charlie Bell? Something's got to give if the Bucks are going to be a serious player in free agency. With the Grizzlies taking Conley as expected, the market has really shut down for Mo, though. The Bucks are in the driver's seat as the only teams I see possibly having any interest (like the Lakers and maybe the Cavs) can only offer ML deals. It's really going to come down to whether the Bucks want Mo Williams or not.

I do think the arrival of Jason Richardson hastens the departure of Gerald Wallace in Charlotte. It's probably going to take around $10M to get Wallace, though, so if he's the "significant free agent" on the list, the Bucks have to cut bait with somebody.

I don't know what was funnier - the Celtics trading the fifth pick for Ray Allen or the Knicks fans going crazy because they added another gigantically selfish player to their collection of gigantically selfish players. Yes they got rid of Francis and his bloated contract but at what cost? But at least Spike Lee was there still thinking it was the 90s and Patrick Ewing was in the paint.

I still think the Hawks screwed the pooch by not trading for Stoudamire but Horford and Law aren't bad fallback options by any means. Those are two terrific players they added to the mix. That team's future just got a whole lot brighter and it wouldn't be a surprise to see them take a major step forward next season.
