    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The deal, which was announced after the league-wide moratorium was lifted, could be worth as much as $72.5 million with bonuses.

    "We're very pleased we were able to make a deal with the Bucks at this time," Bogut's agent David Bauman told the Journal-Sentinel. "He feels extremely valued by the franchise and feels he is an important piece going forward. The goal driving him is to win games and make the playoffs."</div>

    Good move by the Bucks, one of the better bigs in the league.

    I wonder how much better Bogut will be with Skiles as the coach.

    I hope Skiles puts a lock down on this team - it seems like they need it. Redd and Mo need to stop being so selfish, and be forced to pass the damn ball every once in a while. There's nothing wrong with passing on this team, either...they can obviously hit shots. Especially after Sessions racked up 24 assists!

    I read on another board its a 60/5 year deal, but with incentives, it can reach up to 72.5/6.


    Either way, its a smart move by the Bucks. Bogut is only 23, still improving, and is one of the few legitimate centers with offensive skill. His defense and rebounding improved last year as well.

    ^My thoughts exactly...........at his age and his skill level it would be to dumb to let him get away. Good move by the new and improved Bucks front office!
