Chad Ford: Bucks Interested In SG, Murphy/Jamison/Thomas
Milwaukee Bucks
Assets: Ersan Ilyasova; potential lottery pick; expiring contracts of Luke Ridnour, Joe Alexander and Kurt Thomas
Just months ago, the Bucks appeared to be conducting a fire sale. But now, to the surprise of other teams, Bucks GM John Hammond has been out aggressively looking to move expiring contracts to get back a power forward or a dynamic 2-guard to play alongside Andrew Bogut and Brandon Jennings.
The Bucks have reportedly talked to both the Wizards about Antawn Jamison and the Pacers about Troy Murphy and shown interest in the Bulls' Tyrus Thomas.
Milwaukee will have to be patient, because other teams might have better offers to make to Washington, Indiana and Chicago. But if the Bucks are willing to throw their first-round pick into a deal, they might be able to trump other teams. As the deadline approaches, don't be surprised to see Milwaukee scoop up someone.
I would stay far away from Jamison, way too long of a contract. I have posted on my huge support for a Murphy. Tyrus would be intriguing, but I'm not sure that Scott Skiles would be okay with that. I wonder who the Shooting Guard might be? I haven't heard anything about a)the Bucks being interested in a SG or b) who might be available. I would be all for that, as SG truly has been the downfall of this team this year.
