August 27, 2008 The Milwaukee Bucks will head to China to play two exhibition games against the Golden State Warriors in the fall, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Our View:As the Olympics proved, China has a large number of NBA fans, and this is yet another step to market their product in the East.
August 18, 2008 The Boston Globe indicates that Michael Redd is surprised he is still a Buck with Richard Jefferson, Luke Ridnour, Tyronn Lue, Malik Allen, Francisco Elson, Adrian Griffin, Damon Jones, and rookie Joe Alexander all new members of the team. He said, "Out of everybody, I'm still here. We have a whole new roster, a whole new group of guys. I was shocked that I remained. I thought with the rebuilding of the team and the changing of coaches and the organization moving in different ways, I thought I might be gone, too. Hey, I'm here."
Our View:Richard Jefferson previously mentioned that he is looking forward to playing with Michael Redd, who is currently chasing a gold medal with the U.S. Olympic basketball team.
July 8, 2008 Richard Jefferson was initially not pleased to be traded from the Nets to the Bucks, but he is now seemingly embracing his new club as he praised team-mate Michael Redd, according to the Boston Herald. Jefferson stated, "I think Redd is a great shooter that has the ability to get to the cup. He’s much more outside, he’s one of the best shooters I’ve ever seen. There will be a lot of eyes on us to see how well we gel. Me and Vince Carter were very similar, but me and Mike might complement each other even more."
Our View:The team wants to make Jefferson happy, so it seems less likely Redd will be traded. They will certainly form a dangerous 1-2 punch for the Bucks if Redd stays put.
