Why the Bucks Trade Sucks
1. Magloire doesn't want to be here.
2. Yet another example of a GM pissing on chemistry.
3. Mason-Simmons was not a problem; it was an opportunity.
4. The Bucks have basically said to the world: "Our #1 pick in the draft is a bust."
5. For weeks, the paper has raved about how we can run this year; so we go out and get a player who doesn't exactly specialize in the fast break.
6. Mason was a great franchise player, marketed heavily and the only guy proud to live here.
7. The Bucks have basically said to the world: "Hey there! Anybody even remotely close to their contract year? We're not gonna pay you! So start packing your bags because it's a matter of 'when', not 'if'."
8. Mason + 1st Rnd 2006 Pick + Cash for a player who was good two years ago but injured last year?!
But . . . I like Magloire's defense and rebounding. Bottom line: I hope the Bucks prove me wrong. I hope we go to the playoffs and people rave about our defense and cohesiveness. Second bottom line: Mason was right -- Larry Harris is a lying snake.
