Kenny Thomas for Jamal Magloire?

Well, that's what I've been talking about a number of times recently... I don't think it's a good possibility Musselman starts both of them.

I think either:

- Brad starts, but Magloire gets good minutes behind Brad.

- Magloire starts, and Brad backs him up, both get nice minutes. I actually think Brad's better suited as a back-up.

Then, there is trading Brad Miller, which I don't think is likely. But wouldn't mind if we get a nice packeege for him.
 
If Bucks are genuinely interested in KT then we could also give them Hart.

Bucks have 2 PGs and could use a 3rd string PG in case one of those boys gets injured and Hart does have an expiring contract. So if we trade KT and Hart for Magloire, the salaries are closer together (Bucks take on extra $100K odd) but "address" 2 things.

We get a big that we are after, get rid off Thomas' contract, and clear up a spot for a youngster that we could include from the training camp.

Win-win for both teams :)

Good point about Hart, they do indeed need a 3rd PG. Plus, Hart and Bell are friends, they came in the league together.

I like the rest.

If we could dump KT and Hart for Mags...wow drinks would be on me (haha not seriously, sorry)

Petrie...make it happen.

You DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT trade a Brad Miller to make room for a Jamal Magloire.

IF Jason Hart was, in fact, a strong PG, we wouldn't be in such a hurry to get rid of him.
 
best part is we have had KT for 2 years and due another 4. Magloire has 1 year left if it doesn't work out we are off the hook and KT's 4 year contract is gone. thats over 8 mil off the cap for next season plus corlis 6.5 mil Potapenko over 3 mil and Hart over 1 mil. around 18 mil coming off next season if we didn't sign Magloire back.

Quite honestly, I can't figure out why everyone is in such a quick hurry to get rid of him. Hart has a small salary and a deal that expires after next season. He plays teriffic defense and is a serviceable 3rd PG as is and he would be very usefull if he developed a jumpshot. I don't remember hearing any stories about him having a bad attitude or complaining about PT. And if the Kings trade him, we still won't be under the cap, so it's not as if it would free up cap space for another signing.

Yes, we still need a capable backup pointguard, whether that's Douby, Price or another free agent signing. However, usually teams are not in a rush to get rid of a player unless he has a bad contract, bad attitude or they are able to secure good value in return. One and two certainly aren't true in this case.

That just leaves getting value for him as a reason. So if the Bucks insist on getting Hart before they take on KT's contract, then I'll help him pack. However, I don't understand why so many people want to throw him into every trade and dump him. Personally, I am more than happy to have a defensive specialist with a great attitude and a reasonable contract filling one of the 10-12th man roles.
 
I agree, and wouldn't be too suprised at all if Hart stays around because of his tenacity on defense. Musselman would actually use him some.

Actually that was a typo. It was supposed to read 3rd "string" PG. Bucks already have 2 PGs that will take up a lot of minutes. Hart is just there as a 3rd PG in case one of them is injured and its a bonus that his contract runs out at the end of the season.

Jason Hart as a 3rd string PG in any team is a pretty decent porposition. Especially if your 1st two PGs are relatively young prospects.
 
i would play magloire at power forward... keep brad at center... and resign wells to 5 years/ 38mil... the kings would have a very physicall line up

PF Magloire / SAR / Amundson
SF Artest / Garcia / Williamson
C Miller / (Magloire) / Potopenko
SG Wells / Martin
PG Bibby / Douby / Price

Why not?

You certainly could make that move IF you could agree with Magliore on an extension for more than one year. He's in the same general range of centers, but much more focused on the normal big man stuff inside. Not dynamic, but strong and rugged.

I completely agree. Additionally, Maglore is 2 years younger than Brad and I do think that he and Brad are in about the same class of centers as each other. They both have completely different games and styles.
 
Jamaal Magloire is also a quality big man. Don't really think he's an "a". Putting him in a seperate catergory of player from Brad, when Magloire is a top (bottom) ten center. Just like Brad is a near the bottom of top ten center. Just are complete opposites in what they bring.

Jamaal wasn't a main option with the Bucks, and didn't fit their system of play that well. Along with Bogut being a main focus to develop and get experience as a #1 pick. So his numbers were down a bit, mainly on points, and could of averaged more rebounds and probably blocks if Bogut wasn't there with him.

I also agree with Brick about Magloire.

How about KT, Garcia and next year's pick for Magloire and Mo Williams. Gives us a big to clog the center and solves our back-up PG situation for the short term. Both are players are in their contract year so there's no long-term financial impact unless we want to keep'em. Unfortunately, Garcias poor summer performance killed his trade value.

Than we can package Miller and Bibby for KG!! :D

Magloire would be nice to add to this team, but not take away a better player in Brad Miller IF you are simply dumping his contract in the end.

Maybe if our team was constructed differently Magloire would be a better fit, but if this team moves forward with a Bonzi/Artest tandem this team has to be very careful in regards to how its players compliment eachother.

I doubt the Bucks even think about moving Mo Williams, considering that they're also in a need for a reliable PG after trading away TJ Ford (and absolutely stealing Charlie V.)

But I do adore the KT for Magloire trade quite a bit.
 
Someone just get KT on a plane and out of Sactown. It really has come to the point where no one really cares who KT gets traded for, as long as he is gone and the sad thing is he has no one to blame but himself and his "I must be a starter or im going to suck off the bench on purpose".
 
Magloire is getting $8.3M in 2006-07

Posted in teh Milwaukee Journal Sentinel yesterday was, in part, the following:

Magloire on hold: Harris said no deals were imminent involving veteran center Jamaal Magloire, who is entering the last year of his contract and will be paid $8.3 million next season.

The Bucks would like to acquire backup help at the shooting guard and small forward positions, but thus far they have not found the right deal.


So Cisco+Douby+KT for Magloire??? Cisco=$1M, Douby=$1.3M, KT=$6.7M = $9M, within 10% of Mag's $8.3M

Or Cisco+KT+2007 1st round (mentioned by others previously).

But somehow, I don't think so.
 
how bout Sergei Monia or anyone else other than Douby... Cisco would be tough to handle leaving... hmm and for a soon to be free agent ... what about Potapenko ?
