Big Bucks

With the acquisition of Jamal Magloire the Miluakee Bucks is now a force to be recon with in the east. This trade has shifted the balance of power in the east. You see, the Bucks were not supposed to make it to the playoffs this season. Now it seems that they have a formidable front court that can go up against any front line in the league.

Honestly, there is no other team in the league that features an All-Star caliber center as a starter, and has the luxury of bringing a top overall choice off the bench as his backup. Don?t forget that the Bucks free agent acquisition of Bobby Simmons who had a breakout year for the Clippers last season.

The Bucks are set at every position other than power forward. Their starting five includes Michael Redd at shooting guard, T.J. Ford at the point, the newly acquired Jamaal Magloire at center, Joe Smith at the four and Bobby Simmons at the three. Making the playoffs next year is suddenly not out of the question for the Bucks.
