Milwaukee Bucks Discussion

Ersan Ilyasova has reportedly agreed to a two-year, $5 million deal with Barcelona in Spain. Bucks GM Larry Harris confirmed Ilyasova was leaving the Bucks, but wasn't sure which European team he would join. "Ersan went to Europe,'' Harris said. "I wasn't told the team he was going to.'' The Bucks are still trying to re-sign Charlie Bell and Brian Skinner, have re-signed Mo Williams, are close to signing Desmond Mason and are still trying to get Yi Jianlian to visit Milwaukee. While Ilyasova had some nice potential, the loss shouldn't impact the Bucks too badly.

Desmond Mason, who played two-plus seasons in Milwaukee before being traded to New Orleans two years ago, is close to signing a multi-year contract with the Bucks. The amount of the contract is unknown. Bucks general manager Larry Harris acknowledged his talks with Roger Montgomery, Mason's agent, were positive. "It sounds like a broken record, but I'm optimistic,'' Harris said in a telephone interview Sunday night. "We had some great discussions today.'' Mason had his best years in Milwaukee, and it's possible he could see a return to form with the Bucks. However, if Bobby Simmons comes back healthy this season, the two would likely split minutes at small forward.

Originally posted by nbarnett56 View PostErsan showed some potential last year but he wasn't very athletic. Thats what I always liked about Mason. If/when Mason/Yi sign we should be pretty deep everywhere except PG. Everything that I've read didn't point to many teams being interested in Charlie Bell so if he does re-sign I think we can possibly make some noise this year.

Originally posted by nbarnett56 View PostI don't see him playing that much though. I think he was more of an insurance policy if Mo did sign elsewhere. I'd say look out for David Noel more than anything.

Simmons was most effective off the bench when won the most improved player award. If Bell doesn't re-sign Mason could see some time at guard. We might do like we did last year and have a big/small lineup on the court.

http://www.jsonline.com/watch/?watch.../2007&id=26470 Mason seems pretty close. I'd love for him to come back to Milwaukee. He was decent and fun to watch, plus it helps the pain of the Magloire trade a bit.
I actually signed Desmond in the NBA Forum Mock. I didn't think he would really do it in real life too.

Yi himself still hasn't said what he wants. Its not him making the decisions.
