    It doesn't. All that happens is we have to cut a check to the players we do have making up the difference between our currently salary and the minimum cap number.

    "Based on conversations with several NBA execs from both the Eastern and Western conferences, the Bucks are more than receptive to playing “Let’s Make a Deal.’’

    And that includes possibly moving Carter-Williams, who has been consistently inconsistent since joining the Bucks. Carter-Williams has had some dynamic games this season, like an 18-point, 13-assist outing against Sacramento and a 20-point, 12-assist showing against Chicago.

    On the flip side, Carter-Williams had only two assists in 26 minutes against Portland on Wednesday night, one assist in 27 minutes against Memphis last week, and zero assists in 25 minutes against Miami two weeks ago.

    But Carter-Williams isn’t the only frontline player the Bucks are apparently willing to move. A much bigger surprise is the Bucks have made known that center Greg Monroe is available at the right price, according to some NBA officials.

    The Bucks created a major splash last summer when they signed Monroe as a free agent, outbidding mega-market teams like the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers."

    We've dodged 4 of those bullets...Hibbert, Hawes, Monroe and Kanter

    This is in no way a cop out, but I will refrain from wagering, since I am a compulsive gambler. Not your fault. Just letting you know. :)

    That, and I'm in a bad mood today, so my posts may be more terse and annoying than usual.

    0 interest in either. Maybe we can be the third team.

    I would only be interested in Channing if that draft pick was included. The Nets were dumb enough to trade their pick for Gerald Wallace, crazier things have happened.

    If I were the Bucks I would dump Kidd before dumping those players.

    A moderately-sized pile of lukewarm meh. I wouldn't play him over anyone on our roster.

    And we got Roy for telfair. But maybe Orlando wants Vonleh? Can't see them doing it without a player on a rookie deal. Or a guythey believe in that they know will be with them more than half a season

    Plus the front office is pretty tight lipped to every media member but Woj.

    So after we pay our players to reach the minimum, that number becomes our total salary for the year. So when we are calculating how much cap space we have, we are starting from the league minimum, not where we currently are at.

    Not lazy in my book, just apples to oranges. We arent a major market and his point was that a small market beat out the major markets. We are irrelevent in that context.

    Maybe I've hyped up Vonleh too much, but I wouldn't give him up for only what is the tenth pick in the draft right now. Maybe if they fall apart between now and the deadline and it's in the top five. They can totally have Meyers for the tenth pick though.

    I'm thinking we could offer Kaman for Frye and absorb his salary but I'm not giving up any young bigs for him

    Monroe would be nice as part of a center by committee. He has flaws as well but I would definitely be interested in taking his salary off their hands.
