Bucks Re-Sign Toni Kukoc
The Milwaukee Bucks have re-signed free agent forward Toni Kukoc to a one-year contract, General Manager Larry Harris announced today. The 2005-06 season will be the 13th NBA campaign for the native of Split, Croatia.

i personally think he's done. :roll:

Kukoc may be old, 36, but he can still provide some needed offence off the bench, especially 3s. Still I would love to see him playing in Chicago next season to finish his career there.

I wouldn't have minded seeing him go to Chicago for the right price. I think he's got at least a couple of years left in him as a player who can come in and contribute here and there every now and then.

Kukoc is better out in Chi-town.

by **AlwaysWhat,NeverWhy** on Sat Aug 06, 2005 7:43 pm

Well, he'llalways be remembered serving dimes and hitting threes with a white and red number 7 jersey on... History wants him with the Bulls, money wnats him with the Bucks. And so it shall be...

Toni Kukoc was a good player in Chicago. He comes from Croatia, that's why he is soo good :wink:

.

Well, i'll be buying me a retro Kukoc Bulls jersey when he retires (hopefully when he retires I will have a job, then I can buy anything :roll:

)

13 years in the NBA is not bad for a sixth man. živali!

Croatian pride, eh?

BTW, X, have you picked a fav team yet? :?:

by **Indy** on Sun Aug 07, 2005 1:17 am

I respect Toni Kukoc an amazing amount, but the fact that he's going back to the Bucks kind of surprises me. I would definitley have thought he would like to have one more chance of going back to the playoffs and finishing his career in chicago. Plus, he would be a fan favorite here.

I don't understand it.

I would say Milwaukee has as much of a chance as Chicago to make the playoffs actually... Good move by Kukoc. The Bukcs have made some nice moves this summer... and they have a decent team now! (Y)

Are you crazy?

The Bulls are clearly a better team then the Bucks. I like the moves the Bucks made this offseason but come on. Ben Gordon, Kirk Hinrich, Luol Deng are all going to get better. Chris Duhon is going to improve. The only reason the Bulls aren't being considered more of an elite team in the East is for 2 reasons. Number 1 being the possibility of losing Tyson and Eddy. Number 2 is that they have stood pat this offseason while other Eastern teams were wheeling and dealing. Don't forget that this is a Bulls team that was filled with rookies last season but still had the third best record in the Eastern Conference. They now have playoff expirience, and will be better next year.

Its really ignorant to say that the Bucks and the Bulls are on the same level.

I remember reading somewhere that Kukoc wanted out of Milwaukee because he wasn't getting enough playing time anymore....

by **Jing** on Mon Aug 08, 2005 6:22 am

hm, i had totally forgot he was even still in the league.

That is because Mason stole his minutes in the past.

I don't think it's crazy. Granted that Hinrich, Gordon and Deng are all goign to get better... and they are a deep team but the Bucks also have a deep team. The Bucks already have Michael Redd. His shooting ability is just superb. This guy can shoot and he is an All-star. You then got Desmond Mason; a real energy guy and TJ Ford, if I'm not mistaken, has a real good Assist to TO ratio. Andrew Bogut is one of the only NBA ready rookies in this year's draft. Gadzuric can rebound and hustle as well as many of the best forwards in the League. Bobby Simmons, who just had a breakout season in LA, showed that he can also play well. IMO, this team ain't really that much worse than the Bulls... I still see them close on a skill type of level. But that's only my opinion... and especially since the Bulls haven't resigned Curry or Chandler yet...

by **BOSS** on Mon Aug 08, 2005 5:35 pm

IMO, they wasted their money on Simmons. He is good but not worth 45 Million dollars. Also we will see how Bogut does in the NBA. He didn't to as well as people expected in the Summer League besides having a bad attitude problem.

by **nikkolas** on Mon Aug 08, 2005 9:05 pm

He is too old for a rebuilding team...i hope he reunites with phil in LA

by **Kemp** on Mon Aug 08, 2005 9:16 pm

Na, he should return to Chicago, just like Pippen, finish his career in the city where he won championships.

by **Jugs** on Mon Aug 08, 2005 9:23 pm

But it's too late

He is signing with the Bucks and that's what's going to happen.

by **Kemp** on Mon Aug 08, 2005 9:29 pm

Well the Bucks only re-signed Kukoc to a one year contract so maybe Kukoc can play with the Bulls in the 2007 season.

by **nikkolas** on Mon Aug 08, 2005 9:51 pm

okay granting,,,if he returns to chicago can he retire his jersey 7.well the best player in chicago ryt now wears no. 7..
