from the article, sorry I dont know how to quote correctly
"Some are wondering whether or not the team will admit that the Jason Kidd trade didn't pan out and deal him out of town. They could also go in a completely different direction and deal former MVP Dirk Nowitzki."
not really sure if that means he is on the block. Yi and Redd for him would be fine with me

We talked about this one a week ago. Both Phoenix and Dallas are in desparate straights. Their teams are aging and neither as presently constituted will ever catch up to the Lakers, New Orleans, Utah or the Spurs. Houston is a wild card and Portland and Seattle both have the future superstars on their rosters.
Redd/Yi for Dirk. Put the offer on the table.
Or put out there Yi/Simmons/CV or Yi/Simmons/#7
Plenty of options as long as you keep Bogut and one other guy to score in the backcourt (Mo or Redd)

The Bucks would sky rocket in the east with either of those trades, provided they get the right wing player (there's a straight line for somebody) during the off season.

I hate to say it but I think we need a Redd,Dirk,Bogut combo to win the east. If we deal Redd and fillers. Doubt we do anything with Dirk in playoffs after first round.paulpressey25 wrote:We talked about this one a week ago. Both Phoenix and Dallas are in desparate straights.

Lots of questions about Dirk, but **** it. He's a superstar, and we don't have one. This would seem like the kind of trade you have to make if you can.
This is actually a pretty fair deal, though it puts us even further into the luxury tax danger zone for 09. I'm sure they'd be thrilled to take Gadz as well, right

I'd guess he'd be fine moving East given he'd have some talent to work with. The East is improving but it's still a better place to be than out West for the next couple years.
Besides, if Dirk ever cared about German influence then he should really like Milwaukee....

also Dirk would love to play with someone like Bogut, if someone like David West slaps Dirk in the face Bogut won't allow that.

I was thinking the same thing. He would be huge for the viability of the Bucks as a franchise.
Redd/Yi for Dirk seems pretty fair. This would be good for both teams.

Dirk never said he wouldn't come to Milwaukee. He was just a 19-year old who was tentative on coming over to the USA/NBA period.
The only reason he was comfortable with Dallas was because Donn Nelson had been working/recruiting him for years. It was believed Dallas was maybe the only team that had good enough ties with him to get him to make the leap if he was drafted.
Cuban had nothing to do with this either. This was Nelson, Nelson and Ross Perot, Jr, the former owner who cut this deal with Dirk.

And don't forget that Bill Peterson was pretty instrumental in helping Dirk adjust to the NBA. That'd be a funny reunion.

Peterson, having spent time overseas, understood that Nowitzki needed a welcome wagon every bit as much as he needed a developmental basketball coach, if not more so. So he took on both responsibilities.Retired Bucks blogger. Occasional Bucks podcaster.
