Bucks/Warriors trade: Monta Ellis, Udoh, Kwame for Bogut, S-Jax

The Bucks are not gonna make the playoffs.

Would you like to bet on that?

Knicks are garbage and the Celtics play most of the rest of their games on the road (where they are terrible).

Bucks on the other hand play most of the rest of their games at home, and just traded two players who weren't even player for quality starters.

I will avy bet you on this.

As much as I like the Bucks and their players (small market teams represent!). There's so many flaws in this lineup.

Jennings - a ball dominating point guard who can be excellent at times
Ellis - an undersized shooting guard who can score in bunches
Moute - an undersized power forward who can defend 3 positions
Ilyasova - a stretch 4 who can mix it up inside
Gooden - a power forward masquerading as a center

Is Udoh legit 6'10? Can he play Center?

Hope these guys succeed. Delfino, Moute and Udoh on the floor will wreck jumpshooting teams

I just hope this works out well for Ellis. Always loved watching his game and feel he's been severely underrated. Probably still won't get the attention he deserves but it'd be nice if he at least got some time in the playoffs.

Absolutely. No chance Milwaukee gets in.

Wow. This is jacked up. Ellis will not last long in Milwaukee with Scott Skiles. Plus this trade makes no sense. Bogut can't play until April, maybe. So the Warriors will be without Curry (injury) and Ellis. I don't understand it.

Next step for the Bucks, get rid of Scott Skiles, he's the worst coach in the NBA by far and he runs players out of town, Bogut hated him.

I've always liked Bogut as a player. If he could just stay healthy he'd be the 2nd best defensive player in the league after Howard, a steady rebounder, and a guy who can give you 15-17ppg. That's an IF we've yet to see though, but frankly Monta Ellis does absolutely nothing for me and never has and as he's the main piece they traded away so I don't see it as that much of a chance to take for the Warriors, especially considering this team really needed a change in it's culture as far as how they played. They finally got a player if he can stay on the court who they can build a real defense around.

Not a bad trade for Warriors at all. If all of them stay healthy, they will be a good team!

Bogut and Lee are excellent passers and Warriors are a good 3 point team. I think it will work out

Nice move by the Warriors. They'll have a chance of making the playoffs next year, with a couple of breaks here and there.

Here is the fact. The Warriors are really only losing Udoh. Because if Bogut doesn't make out next year as we hope, then they still have Klay Thompson to replace Monta. No, he might not be as elecrifying, he may not put up more points. But in all honesty, how many less wins is he going to get you than Monta could? Truth be told, the Warriors didn't lose anything in Monta. They could not have got any better center for him. They already tried to get Chandler. This trade is a great way to take a chance.

the warriors need to tank and get into the top 7 picks

they owe somebody their first rounder this year, but its top 7 protected

so, after that, draft a sf

i know that they say that they wont buy out jackson, but i think that they should

and move forwards with a sold 5 of

curry
thompson
barnes or gilchrist or q.miller
lee
bogut

That's fine, it's not like the Warriors were going anywhere this season anyway. Tank as hard as possible, see what kind of player you can get in the lottery, and take it from there.

Just think, they could go from having one of the worst front courts and defenses in the league to having Bogut and Anthony Davis out there next year. Suddenly they'd be the most imposing defensive frontcourt in the league.

And stuck with an overpaid Lee.
