    Different people. Just ask any of the mods here. They can see the IP addresses Nate.

    Or ask Xericx.....he's known us both for a long time.

    I have decided I don't want Bosh on our team because i don't want to see a "where's your head at" dancing cartoon with his oddly shaped head wagging back and forth on a stick figure body. I recant my previous statement that he would make a good addition to the team.

    Oh also, he would be terrible at name that tune i think.

    Caron Butler would be a good player, d69 has been a little TOO high on him though... so this may just be an over-hyped bias story... he may have heard his name in some rumblings and ran with it... who knows.

    Milwaukee is likely going to lose Bogut for the rest of the year. If they had any aspirations of making the playoffs, they're all but washed out now.

    RJ, anyone?

    I believe the bucks are actually in 8th, not quite out of the playoff hunt.

    I'm not sure.... if RJ is the best we can do, I'd probably go for it.

    jefferson isnt a championship type player...thats the prob.

    butler is and fits more of what KP has been taking about long term. butler still can get better...jefferson not so much and is on downside of career.....but he would help

    True. I hadn't realized that.

    But, there's some serious competition between MIL, NJ, NY, and CHI for that last spot right now. I believe MIL will falter without Bogut or Redd the rest of the season. Will it really be worth it to keep Jefferson and his $13mil for if they're simply going to be a fringe playoff team? I suppose their next five games (# of games before the deadline) will be crucial in determining the answer to that. They're playing DET, HOU, IND, DET, CHI.

    I agree Butler is better, but RJ is a damn good cog. He was a vital piece of the NJ team that made the finals a couple of times, one of their "big 3" IMO.

    And that's why it's going to cost a lot more to get Butler.
