With the news that their signing of O.J. Mayo is inevitable, I am reminded of a question I ask myself each offseason. Every year they seem to just make moves to make moves. No direction, no signs of life, no excitement. Just year after year of drafting between 6-16.

Obviously they have little to no chance of attracting stars via FA. So why not tear it all down once and for all, tank and attempt to stockpile picks and build a team with a ceiling higher than the 8 seed?

OJ's younger brother plays for Marquette so that probably had some influence.

Jennings and Sanders are great young talent and I think they are just trying to find pieces that fit around them two.

Yeah, they're hopeless.
Peruse the RealGM Bucks forum if you want some laughs.
I usually check it out every day for some comic relief

Yeah, I've skimmed through that Tobias Harris thread a few times.

I'm not much of a fan anymore. I had season packages back in the early '00s for a few years but I've probably only gone to 2 games in the last 6 years or so.

well right now they are trying to get a new building so tanking might not be the best option.

Michael Redd was one of my favorite players. Injuries robbed him too early.

I like him.

I look at him as a slightly better version of Ellis. In just about every dept. Including a little bit more size, a little younger and a little more upside.

Granted not the brightest guy from a BBIQ standpoint, but we are the Bucks none the less. We aren't getting a non flawed player. Most certainly not via FA.

Has to go down as our best FA signing. How sad is that?

Both are overly ambitious men who make wrong decisions that destroy companies.

By the small group of hardcore faithful. Other than that there is just apathy. It's all Packers all the time around here. The Bucks are barely a blip on the radar.
