Well, it's not the Christmas present GAD/wichmae and Insiders Co. has been presenting, so maybe not.

Could be just that - he's now needed as a 3rd backup if we traded one of our PGs.

Is this online anywhere GAD?

Ugh, I hate Damon Jones with a passion. Who would want him as a team mate? He anticipates the Bucks will suck so he decides to have nothing to do with them until they start playing well. I will boo that little prick outta the BC next time I'm at a game. On top of having an exaggerated sense of self worth the guy is a crappy one dimensional player. One dimensional is a compliment too. He's not that great of a shooter. He'll hinder us more than help.

Hmmmm betting he won't be staying, not sure what Wilcox makes but there could be a buyout and a trade involving Jones and what it would take to complete the deal.............unless Charlie Bell is really, really screwed up.

Just a side note, I theorized it was something to do with Damon Jones from the beginning although I thought it was him being traded for something most likely. The "insiders" said it had nothing to do with him. Hmmm, now who is the real insider? This whole thread just further proves my beliefs that there are very few insiders I trust. The three most credible IMO are GAD, Formerbucksfan, and Europa. No one else has proven anything to me yet. No offense to anyone who has been posturing as an "insider" but these are just my casual observations.

Wow, the minutes at PG get even smaller. It's hard to believe that an additional roster move isn't going to happen because I just don't see the minutes.

This has to be the gift Bogut was talking about. Maybe DJ is a great locker room guy and Bogut knows he'll help us in that way. I don't really see DJ getting many minutes unless we absolutely need shooting.

DJ will be our worst guard by far (assuming Bell keeps trending upwards when he gets healthy).

I don't see how this helps us.

We have a few guys that are really good locker room guys with Tyronn Lue being at the front of the pack in that regard.

The thing I like about Damon Jones and its the thing I liked about him back in 2004 is that he brings confidence and swagger to the team,great teammate and great locker room guy.

He is a great lob passer too so hopefully we get to see a few more alley oops.
