Well to say a season was an utter disappointment is a huge understatement when talking of the Milwaukee Bucks.
Like an injured horse that is taken behind the stable to be put down, so can we do to the Milwaukee Bucks. A team that looked to make it back to the playoffs with a group of veteran players and youth, and a fired up coach looking to focus on stopping the opponents fell flat on their faces.
We have seen former GM Larry Harris get the boot and Larry K have his team totally turn their backs on him. With a new GM in place and one game remaining in this dreadful season...it is time to start a whole new chapter for the Milwaukee Bucks franchise.
I have heard numerous opinions from the sports talking heads in town for months of what should happen...I shall now share my thoughts.
1. Replace Coach K...Ok I think this is a foregone conclusion. No offense to Larry K, but the veterans never respected him and what he wanted to do. I hope for all the best for him in the future, but let new GM John Hammond start fresh.
2. Trade Mo Williams, Michael Redd...oh heck everyone but Bogut and Yi. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of Michael Redd (I am biased because he is a Christian and a great all around guy), but this team need to start fresh and build around the guys that can be the cornerstones for the next 5-7 seasons, being Andrew Bogut and Yi...throw Ramon Sessions and Desmond Mason into the mix.
3. Get us a seasoned veteran coach... No more one year experiments, no more nice guys with past history to the team. get us a coach that players will respect, that has one and that can kick this team into gear.
4. Do anything and everything you can to get the confidence back from the fans that have been lost. Do more to get in the community (see what the Brewers have done the past 3-4 years)
As a Milwaukee sports fan, I went to a handful of Bucks games this season with my son, but I refused to pay full price for tickets to see this team play this year (the benefit of EBay and tickets from work) Please bring back the days where I can be proud to be a Bucks fan, where 50 wins in a season is an expectation, not a hope and dream dashed in the first months of the season.
One game left....and we can look ahead to the NBA draft and the 2008-09 season with some optimism...hopefully

Is there any truth to the rumour that there was a moving van in front of coach K's house?
Not sure...but the boxes were stacked high outside his office Monday afternoon
