he chose milwaukee over Phoenix. I know the Suns lost their coach but it's still the Bucks home of Kelso and the Vista cruiser!!! has he been getting second hand smoke from Josh Howard?

Tyronn Lue is still in the NBA? This guy isn't going to give you much, but then again nobody on the Bucks will except for Richard Jefferson.

I agree bertch-
It's amazing how playing a little defense in the playoffs against Iverson has carried this NO TALENT this far

The Bucks are signing Lue? What for, a towel boy? Jeez, no wonder the Bucks suck so bad.

I don't believe he would have been a starter for Phoenix anyway.....

This means Mo williams will be traded!!!

Miwaukee is throwing money at Redd 9can't play D), RJ (decent player, but not a go-to guy), Bogut (not proven yet, for that kinda money), and now sign Lue. Looks like every single one of them are questionable.
result - Bucks will go nowhere again.

boo tyronn lue
i fell **** he was trying to play the suns

Lou is a solid back-up... That's what he's being hired to do. You people obvioulsy don't watch basketball... He can handle and distribute the ball effectively. Stop hating

July 17, 2008  11:34 AM ET

i feel like he was trying to play the suns

Lue is a nice player but not a starter

Everybody hates on people like Lue, Walton, that are role players and very good at what they do.......

Not every NBA player can average 20ppg

yeah a team is made out of usually 1-3(maximum) stars, a couple of role players, and a few bench players, and the 11th and 12th man...

Dallas is getting smaller and smaller why arent they after a C?

July 17, 2008  12:59 PM ET

Hes a backup not a starter, why is this news, who cares?

The Bucks signed him to be a backup and because they're looking to make the team better defensively overall. Lue is a decent defender and he's solid enough to come in and not hurt your team at the point. Also, this allows the Bucks to look for a trade involving Mo Williams with Ramon Sessions taking over the starting point position. As for trades, rumor has it that they're looking to try to pry Haslem from the Heat, which does follow their current off season trend of looking to improve the defense on this team.
