The Bucks, meanwhile, have bigger plans up their sleeve. If they can pry Smith from the Hawks, they'd perhaps then try to trade defensive stopper Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and a pick to the Magic for J.J. Redick. That would leave them with a very solid starting five of Brandon Jennings, Redick, Ersan Ilyasova, Smith and Larry Sanders. It's a potential deal to monitor as the Hawks weigh their options ahead of Thursday's deadline.Source: CBS Sports I think if bucks pull out of deal. We have a better shotCan you see JSmoove agreeing to sign longterm in Milwaukee? I can't.Howewver, Bucks may be willing to take the chance on a rental. Not sure, though, that the Bucks would do that.

What would I like to see at 3:01 on Thursday?A thread titled "Why Didn't Danny get Smith?"
SOMETHING! The whole idea of trying to win a title with what we have now is ludicrous! Does anyone on this board think we can go almost a third of the season that's left without a single significant injury to one of our top 8 players??? What if KG or AB or another starter ends up with a high ankle sprain or pulled hammy, and misses 2,3,or 4 weeks. Then your'e counting on Collins, TWilliams, or Melo for MAJOR minutes!? Seriously? And you haven't even thrown in the playoffs yet--another 25 games at least! 55 games, unscathed!!! You guys push the word optimist to the extreme,extreme! I guess greater miracles have happened. So I hope one day to do a fan post and apologize to all of you who had greater faith than I!!!!
Can you see JSmoove agreeing to sign longterm in Milwaukee? I can't.
Also, I wouldn't mind seeing the following guys leave for similar talent on shorter contracts:GreenTerryBassLee

If you can grab a center of comparable talent, then that's an upgrade for the team.You swap your starting PF for a backup C and that's a roster upgrade? Because Garnett isn't going back to PF, and you're still one big man short even after this swap.What?There are plenty of PF/C types, or at least PF with more length than Bass. And KG can very well move to PF if needed be. Don't see the problem with that at all.Who is out there that makes around what Bass makes, has a team willing to take on salary, and wants to move a rotation caliber player?No clue. Just saying, if the option is out there, you do it. If not, I'm content with staying pat. If its not an option you can actually craft a scenario for then why bring it up? That tells me there is no such option.I'd like to see Pierce + Melo + Picks for LBJ. That's the sort of deal that "upgrades" Bass, one that the other team wants no part of.
