[Get Bucc In Here - Bucks] NBA MONTH IN REVIEW

[RDV23]

So basically my XBOX got the "RROD" so I'm once again going to try to bring you and interesting and fact filled dynasty. This time I will be using the Milwaukee Bucks because I have never used them before (mostly because I hate their uniforms) and secondly I think they will provide the toughest challenge when it comes to building them into a contender. So once again, without further ado

-R




I will be updating after every month.

Behind The Scenes


A New GM.

Team owner Herb Kohl announces the new Head Coach and GM.
Press Conference Announcing New GM.

Herb Kohl: Hello ladies and gentlemen, today defines a new chapter in the legacy of the Milwaukee Bucks. As of today a new General Manager & Head Coach will become part of this great franchise, so without further delay, I am pleased to introduce former two-time Sixth Man Of The Year, Bucks legend and new Head Coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, Ricky Pierce!

*claps*

Pierce: Thank you, I'd first like to say thanks to Herb for giving me the chance to coach this remarkable team and be part of this organization. I hope to bring a fresh new style of coaching, and I feel we will have all if not most of the necessary tools to do big things this year.


*claps*

Kohl: Media can now proceed to ask questions

Reporter: What kind of offense will you run?
Pierce: I believe will the players we have it will be more beneficial to run a fast-break orientated offense rather than a half court one.

Reporter: How much playing time will rookie Andrew Bogut receive?
Pierce: As of now Andrew is our starting center, his playing time will depend on how much he can handle, but we hope to play him alot.

Reporter: Do you have the starters picked?
Pierce: Uhhh at some positions yes, but those selections will not be available till opening night.

Kohl: Thanks Ricky, now it is also my pleasure to introduce new General Manager, Shaun Alexander.

Alexander: Thanks, I too, would like to thank Herb for giving me this opportunity, I am looking forward to helping an already talented team become that much better.

Kohl: And now we will have a question period for Shaun Alexander.

Reporter: What moves will you look to make?
Alexander: I will look to improve the team anyway I can, whether it be through a trade or a signing.

Reporter: Will you resign Redd come July?
Alexander: If Michael wants to stay, we want him here.

Reporter: Is anyone on your team not vulnerable for a trade?
Alexander: No, anyone on the team is available for a trade should the right deal surface.

Kohl: That is the end of the Q&A, once again I give you, Head Coach Ricky Pierce and General Manager Shaun Alexander

I have never used them before (mostly because I hate their uniforms)

you might seriously wanna consider redesigning them then (or have someone do it for you); otherwise those games and recaps are gonna feel twice as cumbersome especially if you're not even feeling the uni's to begin with

Meh, I don't really think its worth it considering this is NBA Live 06, but hey, if someone sees this and they can give me a step-by-step process on how to edit the jerseys (this is done on the computer I'm assuming) and then bring them (jerseys) over to my Gamecube, that would be greatly appreciated.

Bucks Shake Up Roster With Blockbuster Trades!

Only weeks into the season the Milwaukee Bucks have already made three blockbuster deals, that has turn them from Chumps to Champs!

Deal 1:

Milwaukee Sends

Desmond Mason/TJ Ford/Joe Smith

Clippers Sends

Elton Brand

This deal works out for both teams, the Bucks receive a much needed All-Star and inside force, while the Clippers acquire young and veteran talent that gives them depth.

Deal 2 :

Milwaukee Sends

Recce Gaines/Calvin Booth/Daniel Santiago

Memphis Sends

Paul Gasol

Looks like Memphis is looking to rebuild, or atleast bulk up in depth, because other than that, the only winner of this trade is the Bucks.


Deal 3 :

Milwaukee Sends

Paul Gasol

Boston Sends

Paul Pierce

Both teams upgrade with this trade, the Celtics will get a much needed big man in Gasol, while the Bucks get a wingman who can run the floor, and do everything else that Redd & Brand cannot. With Gasol leaving it is evident Ricky Pierce has big things in mind for rookie Andrew Bogut.



Deal 4 :

Milwaukee Sends

Zaza Pachulia/Dan Gadzuric

New Jersey Sends

Richard Jefferson

After this deal the Bucks are down to 10 players, as they have traded 8 away and only received 3. The Bucks have also traded every center they had except Bogut, which leads us to assume he will be playing the bulk of the minutes. In addition to that the Bucks only have 411K left of cap-room, which will be tough to work around if they feel they need to add depth later in the season, however only time will tell.

As the season began, the Milwaukee Bucks looked once again like a bottom-feeder in the east. However with the hiring of new Head Coach, Ricky Pierce and new General Manager, Shaun Alexander, change has surely been brought to Milwaukee. Pierce and Alexander wasted no time building a contender, making moves to bring Elton Brand to Milwaukee. Only days later Alexander would then make a move for Spanish forward Pau Gasol. However Gasol was later dealt after one game for swingman Paul Pierce. Already having three All-Stars in Micheal Redd, Elton Brand, and Paul Pierce, Alexander made one more move to acquire star wing-man Richard Jefferson. Now with this All-Star cast, the Bucks are looking like a serious contender, and are still undefeated through five games. What will the rest of the season bring? That's a question yet to be answered, but one things for sure, its guaranteed to be a wild ride to the playoffs.

Ups & Downs

Undefeated through five games.
Acquired All-Star talent in Brand, Jefferson & Pierce
Solid games by Bogut
Brand & Bogut lead league in BPG
Shallow bench (10 players deep)
Fell behind early in most games
Besides Brand & Bogut, no one else made top-five in a stat category
Only 411K of cap space remaining after deals

[Cartar]

Wow, those trades are very uneven, except the Pau-Paul swap. Especially the Gaines/Booth/Santiago - Gasol trade, which is just plain ridiculous, only one of them is still in the league and he barely has a spot on IR list.

Exactly.

[Martti.]

Trading your bench-scrubs for three all-stars won't attract many followers.

That's what I used to do in my first dynasties. The dynasty would get corrupted for DBF editing, or because I got bored.

[Clutch]

those trades are bucc'ed up... but you're definitely set at a title run

[RDV23]

I actually didn't mean to acquire Elton Brand like that, the offer was out of frustration after many deals to get Maggette didn't work out. But whatever whats done is done. I can't change anything now. So I'm just moving forward.

[MikeMan™]

The "Pau-I don't know who they are" trade is pretty realistic .
That trade is much better than the one Memphis made in real life.

Are you serious? I hope you are being sarcastic... I don't know which one is worse.

[MikeMan™]

The people whom the Lakers trade for Gasol are not on the Grizzlies Roster anymore ya know?
I think they all only lasted for months ?

Marc Gasol and Darrell Arthur(well, he got traded to Memphis for the Lakers pick) are, plus 10' first round draft will be as well.

[MikeMan™]

10 first round picks or 10 years of being a Lottery Team ?
anyways RDV made Milwaukee an instant contender with those one-sided trades .
Honestly following a Dynasty Story with a Strong Franchise is boring, really, I mean it .
Take what I'm saying as Constructive Criticism, not trying to make you feel bad.

- A lop-sided team turning into a contender is more interesting.

Because you actually play the game, your players can get more chances to block a shot.
