Bench time frustrates Bucks forward
Bucks forward Charlie Villanueva has been aching for a chance to play meaningful minutes. But he's not happy the chance could come due to an injury to starting power forward Yi Jianlian, Villanueva's frustration has grown in recent weeks, and he felt compelled to address trade rumors on the blog he writes for NBA.com, with the league trade deadline approaching Feb. 21.

The bucks have so much promise, but the team just hasnt gelled.. They need to trade a few guys while their trade value is high.

Donny: Why is it that you want to trade Odom away for practically everyone? You posted something similar on the Artest story.. Make up your mind already! And why would you want Villanueva when you just got Gasol? Charlie doesn't play the three and would hurt your team more than help it.

These threads always puzzle me. If you're not satisfied with your playing time, work on your game. This epitomizes what's wrong with todays' player. I'm not getting enough playing time, so I want a trade. Has "play me or trade me" ever worked out for anybody?

I'd have to agree with you there, Hllywd. I'm tired of hearing the sniveling, too.

He will be traded away. The Knicks remain interested.
Donny is just a hater. Nothing is wrong with Lamar Odom.

Odom will be a fine 4th option behind Kobe, Gasol and a healthy Bynum
But Odom is a marketable asset, a 6-10 ball handling SF......
So if the Lakers get a chance to further improve the team, they will do it
Trade Odom and sombody plus a 2nd rounder for Kidd, maybe???

How about Tracy McGrady and Chuck Hayes for Redd and Villueneuva?

I like Tracy McGrady and Chuck Hayes for Yi and Redd better. You can have the two Chinese 7' footers on same team, both speaking Chinese and forming a tough defense. We can call it the Great Wall of China. Sound good?

Trade Charlie to the Hawks for S Williams and S Claxton, then buy out Claxton. Save money for the future. S Williams will provide the rebounding sans the scoring.
Charlie and Childress can be solid bench for the Hawks

I like the idea of trading charlie V but I don't see the bucks dealing Redd. Villanueva hasn't produced, like he did for the raptors, and dealing him would be a very good idea. He has potential and is young. He just doesn't seem to fit in Milwaukee. Yi and Bogut are just better.

I think Charlie would be a nice fit in Phoenix....Perhaps we could convince them to take Boris and a first round draft pick (Hah!)..It would giv the Suns a little more size with same tsame kind of versatility...

I agree with getting rid of charlie v. he does need to grow a pair before he becomes a worthy starter in the nba, the only thing i can see the bucks getting rid of Redd for is if they get a point guard that can dish the ball cuz Mo Williams to me would be a better asset as a 2 then a 1, or a PF that actually has some inside prenece to take a load off Bogut.
Doubtful they will do anything though, im glad they didnt jump on zach randolph cuz hes getting paid a ridiculous amount of money. Oh well just sit back milwaukee and wait and see what lottery pick we are going to get

I would take Odom for Charlie V and Simmons, Odom could remain a number 3 or 4 scorer behind Redd, Williams, Bogut, sometimes Yi. And the bucks desperatly need defense specially against Peirce, Lebron, Prince and any other good SF in the East.
The only way i see Redd going anywhere is if the bucks get a PG that can dish the ball and not get hurt every 3 weeks, cuz Mo could easy play SG and be effective OR getting a PF with some low-post presence to help Bogut on DEF and REB
But i dont think anything exciting will go on with the bucks, so milwaukee just sit back and wait for yet another lottery pick!
