Any team that accepts ridnour is going to want to exchange garbage back to us in return or demand we throw in a first round pick to take ridnour off our hands. . they are not just going to take ridnour off our hands for nothing. And the bucks have too many players already to take more players back in return. the clippers just gave an offer to Arryo. Face it, hammond really screwed this entire summer, and also past season away.
perhaps hammond can trade Warrick or Delfino or potsie too. based on how many other teams were interested in Warrick, i'd say the chance of that is ZERO !!!!
if hammond wants to salvage the Summer, he should make an offer to felton or iverson. Iverson would help the bucks secure that top draft pick and fill some seats in the arena. I've always felt felton was a better pg than Sessions. I could care less what their stats reflect. if the bucks want to sign a Pg for 4 years, i'd rather they signed felton over Sessions.
i hate to say it, but all the talk about the bucks making a bunch of other trades once the Sessions thing was resolved all came from Bucks real gm posters or other internet fan blog sites, not from the bucks. it was interesting to read that the knicks hadn't talked to the twolves about Rubio for the past 2 months. yet internet fan sites said they were constantly talking trying to work out a deal.
it should be noted hammond almost had a sign and trade deal agreed upon a month ago, but he decided to play the GM waiting game instead to wait Sessions out. Anybody want to agree with me now as to the stupidity of GMs playing that waiting game? it's a stupid game and produces no winners. but it's on page 15 of Hammond's GM manual and stupid posters all believe that's what GMs should do so they can save money and get the player at the lowest possible salary. What happens when you don't get the player? YOU LOSE!
I'd rather have kohl work on giving us an affordable health care plan than give us Sessions. That, after all is his real job and where his priorities should be. it's time the Senator went back to being a Senator, and left the bucks to wallow in their sorrow.
My guess is Charlie bell is happy. on draft night, jennings said to all who refused to listen, that Sessions was gone. perhaps some review of his draft night words might be in order.
Your crazy as hell if you think JH has any interest in trading Ridnour , as is anyone else with this train of thought .
If youre going to move ridnour you with out a doubt must get back a better talent not equivlant to Ridnour , but equivlant to what JH can do with 6.5 millon dollars in 2010.
You think Hammond is going to give up that flexability just to sign Ramon ?
Let me get this straight . Hammond is going to give up 6.5m in roster space in 2010 , have no vet pg expirence for the 09/10 season , just to make room for a guy his coach said cant run an nba offense ? For a guy Hammond himself said " shouldnt call himself an nba pg " .Ridnour fills a need now , and provides a nice amount of flexability going down the road . The only way he goes is if we get back talent on a level that exceeds what John Hammond can do with 6.5 mil in 2010. and i would even argue that the talent has to be an nba pg concidering were not going to trust the entire season on weather or not BJ can learn the offense .
Why the hell would we give up roster flexability to another team and PAY them to do it ? 6.5 millon next year will come in very useful.
