Though he is eligible to declare free agency the season after next and still hasn't accepted the Bucks' offer for a contract extension, point guard Sam Cassell made one thing clear Tuesday:
He wants to remain in Milwaukee.
"My intentions are definitely to stay here," Cassell said. "I've never said (I want to leave)."
Cassell said he is ready to accept a three-year extension worth about $17 million that would carry him through the 2005-'06 season, when he will be 36 years old and presumably nearing the end of his career.
The only holdup now, Cassell said, is financial details.
"We've got to get certain things that I want," he said. "There are certain things I've got to have. I want everything that Sam Cassell deserves under the collective-bargaining agreement.
"I'm done with it. When my representative says it's time, it's time. When I get everything I need, it will be that simple."

MILWAUKEE - Oh, what a tight and intense game the Celtics and Bucks engaged in last night. For 25 minutes.
At that point, Milwaukee fired its retro rockets and blew out the Bostonian windows on the way to a 109-90 reminder of how far the Celts still have to go. It was the Celtics' sixth straight loss here.
Adding injury to insult, Paul Pierce aggravated his sore left wrist in the fourth quarter and spent the last 8:51 on the sideline.

ILWAUKEE - The best description of the third quarter came from Kenny Anderson. ''It was a blur,'' he said.
Then he provided a play-by-play that sounded more like something out of a comic book than an NBA game:
''Pow. Pow. Bam. Pow. Bam. We're down 10. Pow. Bam. Pow. Damn. We're down 20.''
But none of the Celtics were laughing. They didn't even smile from the time the second half began until they left Bradley Center. The starters were on the bench for the last minutes of the fourth quarter, watching the Milwaukee Bucks complete their 109-90 rout last night.
