Is he any good? lol

[Michael]

stat sheet looks solid for sure for a back up role

[PR93]

what did we give for him

[NiZMo1o1]

what did we give for him


We missed out on Mo Williams and other free agents, We already lost Posey and Kapano.

So im wondering how does Smush Parker and Charlie Bell will fit in with Jwils and Quinn ?

I predict Riley pulling some trades around Feb when the trading deadline comes around...

I hate to say it but need to get PJ Brown into the mix..

[PR93]

I hope the Heat pull of a good season

So Ive come to Conclusion that Riley is very Crafty....

I belive Riley knew what he was doing when he offer Mo Williams a Contract... He knew the Bucks would either counter offer or let Mo Williams go..

Basically Bucks had to offer alot more money to keep Mo Williams there , leaving not enough to counter offer for Charlie Bell... Riley is SLICK ... He played his cards right.. He knew somehow he either would end up getting Mo Williams or Charlie Bell...
Plus the Bucks now have Yi so they are offering him money along side Mo Williams and Redd.

I have this feeling Riley isnt done yet.. Ive heard some rumors that Riley is going try to do a trade with Walker and include maybe first round picks to the Kings for Artest.. This is from a inside source / rumor.

Could it happen ??? Riley is crafty !!

[NiZMo1o1]

We lost Posey who I still belive was still a dirty player.. if they get Artest.. Well thats what we gotta deal with but hell we will add more depth

[PR93]

Oh shit if we get artest, no wait he would prolly not even play much with all the techs

Bucks match Heat's 5-year, $18.5M offer sheet for Bell

MILWAUKEE -- Against his wishes, the Milwaukee Bucks moved to keep Charlie Bell on Thursday.

The Bucks confirmed they have matched an offer sheet Bell signed with the Miami Heat for the restricted free-agent guard, a five-year deal worth $18.5 million.

The 6-foot-3 Bell had said he did not want to play for Milwaukee and instead wanted to go to Miami, which failed earlier in the offseason to sign Mo Williams away from the Bucks.

Bell averaged a career-high 13.5 points in a breakout season last year for the Bucks, making 64 starts.

Bell told the Associated Press earlier this week that the Bucks didn't want to give him a long-term deal and didn't have the money available to resign him.

Bell threatened to play in Greece instead of signing what was a reported three-year deal with Milwaukee.

Two seasons ago, he signed with Milwaukee after averaging a league-best 27 points for Breogan of the Spanish league.

He went undrafted after helping Michigan State win the 2000 national championship, played briefly with Phoenix and Dallas before spending three seasons in Italy.

Williams was Miami's top pursuit at point guard this summer, but could only offer him a deal worth around $31 million. The Bucks re-signed Williams for six years and $51.5 million.
