Mitch Lawrence reporting the Bucks have interest in Joakim Noah. Kidd loves his motor and skillset, not a shock, if he were historically healthy, I would not mind offering him 15-20 over 3-4 years if he was healthy, but given that, I can't see more than 11 per over 4 years. In addition, since agent representation seems to be an item, even as recent as the draft,(Maker) Noah's agent is BDA, so if there was any inherent advantage for us to land him, it won't be via the agent. BDA was actually Kidd's agent prior to Excel, Kidd fired / left BDA back in 02-04.

I think ultimately someone will end up over paying for him and I would imagine for him to come to Milwaukee it would have to be us over paying him... Therefore I'm likely not interested.

Word out there is that the Bucks are interested in signing Dwight Howard too, will be interesting to watch, I am going to guess we will miss out on both and end up signing a lesser name.

I'd be more interested in Biyombo than Noah and Howard.

I worry about Howard and back issues. His former coach (Kevin McHale) thought Howard appeared to not be moving well, stating he thinks it is due to back issues. That being said, plenty in the media (Barkley included) have called him out recently. He might be motivated to prove himself and that he can be a winner. I like Biyombo, but he will demand a lot of $$$ as well. Bucks would likely have to be able to trade Monroe in order to sign Howard or Biyombo. Then again, who knows with the Cap escalating and how they could formulate the contract.

Monroe definitely has to be moved, if the Bucks get a yes from a Howard or Noah or Biyombo or any big ticket center. With Henson and now Maker(whom Hammond says can be rotational for 15 a night now). You'd like to spread the money to fill other needs.....shooter, possibly a PG...but it's possible to just add a Howard at 30 million, without moving Monroe:

Middleton, Parker, Monroe, Giannis, MCW starting, Brogdon, Henson, Vaughn, Maker, Ennis.

Novak should be back, Plumlee would depend on the free agent get at center, if none, he should be back.

The Bucks have requested waivers for Johnny O'Bryant and Damien Inglis.

With the higher salary cap, this is a reasonable deal. Hope he can shoot 39+ from 3 as it says he has in 2 of his 4 seasons.

Still would like to see the Bucks make a run at Bismack Biyombo

153 million for Mike Conley....yes a guy with no all star appearances. Atl gets Howard for 70 million over 3, Horford on the way back?

Interesting rumor, Bucks and Knicks in on Dwyane Wade

I would too, but don't think the Bucks will be able to afford him. Would have to get rid of Monroe, and nobody appears to have any interest in taking him.
