Lee Sign and Trade...Sessions sign and Trade Hmmm!!!

[Teambuda]

I love Lee and would love to land him. Sessions and ?????? To get him????

[By-Tor]

What a typical Bucks trade that would be. I would like to see the Bucks go out and get someone worth talking about for once. Dwayne Wade or someone like that would be nice.

[Teambuda]

I would love Wade as well. But realistically is he available?? I have played Fantasy the last few years and Lees stats jump out at you in terms of hustle and doing all the little things.

[By-Tor]

I don't know, was Kevin Garnett ever available? Shaq? Chauncey Billups? Allen Iverson? Elton Brand? I don't know if he's available but somebody is available and that somebody is better than Richard Jefferson or David Lee or Malik Allen or whomever else the Bucks ever decide to get that doesn't ever seem to matter. I like guys that do all the little things I just like guys who do all the big things more than those guys and think we need at least one of those guys on this team first. Sorry I'm not trying to rip your idea, I like David Lee too - I'm just so tired of the Bucks not doing anything worth a crap season after season.

[Teambuda]

I agree with you as well but until we get rid of the junk i.e. Redd and Gads we aren't going to be able to afford someone like that. Unless you can convince someone to take Redd and Gads, good luck. Hammonds seems to have a handle on things compared to Harris. I was considering Lee as a step not the big splash. All the great ones had great role players. Lee, the prince, Bogut and Jennings I believe would be a good start to lure someone of that caliber. So what do you think of

Jennings
Wade
Prince, Warrick
Lee
Bogut

Still room for improvement at the 3 but the team is going in the right direction. Start small and build something someone would want to be a part of.

What we should or should not do aside the Bucks are about 1.6 million under the Lux Tax threshold, which they said they won't cross, even without adding in the potential Sessions signing.

To Sign and trade Session you must follow the BYC rules as Sessions will be BYC, incidently so will David Lee, Essentially meaning each team will have to take in half value back in salary for the primary pieces contract, with both teams over the cap, it would be near impossible to work that out in and of itself. Then if you did by bringing in a third team or aggragating player salaries or whatever you'd still have to figure that David Lee is going to get MLE or more to agree to the S&T which could or Would put us 4-6 million over the Lux tax. Since there is a dollar for dollar penalty that contract would cost an astronomical amout if more salary couldn't be moved out in other trades. Just very very unlikely.

Given our proximity to the cap I think its unlikely we sign anyone else, plus we have more bodies than spots as is. Session may take the QO than great he may even be forced in the down market to take a 3 million or so deal where the Bucks decide thats OK to go over a few million, but I don't think we will see much more than that in added salary.
