    Damn, this injury was really bad. Oh well he's got 3 months. The Bucks shouldn't rush him in if he doesn't play for the first couple of weeks.

    First couple of months...He had this problem in college. Its not as bad as the Jay Williams thing, but its sad to see something like this.

    I would like to see the Bucks re-sign Jones since Etan's offer was matched.

    Jones isn't likely coming back, but the Bucks are going after Mike James, not as good in terms of passing, but James will do I guess.
    Next season will likely not be the same

    If the bucks can sign a decent PG (like Mike James) or possibly trade for one (maybe like a vet PG such as Gary Payton) they should be fine. I agree with Bobcats they shouldn't rush Ford back, he is young and has a bright furture...As for the Bucks in the couple of mounths that he will be gone, they will be fine, with an improving Michael Redd and Desmond Mason (and the possible signing of Etan Thomas). My prediction is that they finish #4 in the playoffs behind the Heat, Pistons, and Pacers...

    it's a hard shot to the bucks now. they need someone to step up in the beginning.

    I see the Bucks getting mike james. On Realgm there was a post about some radio show where they said that he would like to play in Milwaukee. I think Mike James would be a good backup for TJ.
    Jones wont come back, he wants to win a championship. Besides I thought i read he signed with Houston?????

    This is terrible news for Bucks fans. I really like T.J. and it hurts me to see him on the bench. This injury could plague his career and the well-being of the Bucks unless he gets better soon.

    Actually James was the one that wants to go to Houston.

    EDIT: I guess he wants Milwaukee instead of Houston.

    god i hope not knight isnt that good. he turns it over too much. Mike James agreed verbally to sign with the bucks, and i saw that we signed kukoc to a 1 year deal. but no specifics on money. does anyone know either?

    also damon jones might be headed to seattle, san antonio, new jersey, or possibily houston.
