Since no business could be conducted after that, he would have Redd, Zaza Pachulia and Dan Gadzuric on indefinite hold and no chance to secure outside help until the sides start to make nice again. The Bucks' whole roster is hanging on Redd, and so is Harris' job. If he loses him without compensation, and he doesn't have the means or the time to find a suitable replacement . . . well, at least he won't have any shirts to pack. Porter on the other hand needs a summer league and conditioning sessions at his own place, because without them, it will be pretty tough to discover whether Ford or his freshly drafted rookie can play. Right now his rotations are gumbo. Meanwhile, the Bucks' bean counters are dealing with a dissatisfied public whose mood isn't likely to be improved by a job action. Labor snits exasperate fans everywhere, but we seem to take them more personally around here. A team counts on general enthusiasm to sustain it when they come up, and the Bucks haven't generated any of that for months. How ironic that at a time when management is pushing to keep teenagers out of the NBA, the adults on both sides of the bargaining table begin to act like adolescents. Maybe some of them can afford it, but the Bucks can't.</div> Source Could not have said it better myself.
