  I thought for sure the Bucks would overpay him, but about 7 or 8 mil per sounds about right for dude. He’s not in the first or even second tier of players in the NBA, but he’s no scrub by any means. I saw some great games from him when he was in Chicago.

  Bucks are goin in! This is shaping up to be a DEEP team. All they need is a backup point to spell Jennings for a couple minutes each night Agree with Enigmatic - on paper, $32 mill for Gooden and $39 for Salmons may seem like a lot, but then you remember Redd’s hideous $18 mill comes off the books after this season. I also heard last two years of Gooden deal are team options, making it more reasonable. Last year of Salmons deal also team option.

  Big win for the bucks. Very versatile and lethal team, damn near title contenders

• Hubcap Posted: Jul.1 at 4:07 pm
  The Hawks are a joke. J Salmons $45M, J Johnson $120M. Ridiculous!

• Scottie Pimpin Posted: Jul.1 at 4:15 pm
  i hate the deer.

• LDR4 Posted: Jul.1 at 4:26 pm
  Bucks looking better and better. This team is moving on up in the East side. They will replace the Hawks as the four in the playoffs.

• Diesel Posted: Jul.1 at 4:27 pm
  Hubcap, you know the heading says Bucks and not Hawks right?

• Enigmatic Posted: Jul.1 at 4:41 pm
  @Diesel - Hubcap was alluding to the fact that the Hawks are about to grossly overpay Johnson, while the Bucks are getting Salmons on the cheap.

• JACO Posted: Jul.1 at 4:46 pm
  this team will be a team on the rise. They payed him what he’s worth.

• JL Posted: Jul.1 at 5:00 pm
  wow nice deal. finally one signing that makes sense!

• Klav Posted: Jul.1 at 5:36 pm
  Although this team looks good on paper, we have yet to see how the new pieces will adjust and fit in. Bucks looked good last year when they got it in gear, but we haven’t seen how Maggette and Gooden will fit in, lets not speak too soon. Remember Wiz overhaul? Looked dope on paper, couldn’t buy a win. But this is real exciting to see Jennings be a part of a good squad, Skiles gonna shape this group up.

• Allenp Posted: Jul.1 at 5:46 pm
  the bucks must really, really believe in bogut and jennings. because they are basically overpaying role players right now.

• Allenp Posted: Jul.1 at 5:47 pm
  joe johnson is top five at his position. yes, 120 million is too much, but please, PLEASE do not compare joe johnson to salmons.

• ccantrell Posted: Jul.1 at 6:04 pm
  bucks moving on up im excited to follow the n keep up with how they doin which wont be hard cause all next season everywhere we look there will be something about them

• melvin ely Posted: Jul.1 at 8:28 pm
  jennings, redd, corey, gooden and bogut starting, getting spelled by guys like salmons, ridnour, ilyasova, delfino. This is possibly the most offensively stacked team skiles has ever had.

• matt Posted: Jul.1 at 9:11 pm
  redd won’t play another game for them

• Zak_Knutson13 Posted: Jul.1 at 9:37 pm
  I have to believe a trade is coming. They are almost TOO deep at the 2, 3 and 4 spots and desperately need a backup PG now that Ridnour is heading out. Redd, Maggette, Delfino, CDR, Hobson, Salmons, mbah Moute, Ilyasova and Gallon. That’s 9 players at just those 3 positions. A couple could be headed to the D-league but I could see shipping some of them for a veteran PG.

• melvin ely Posted: Jul.1 at 11:13 pm
  wait, ridnour’s heading out? Have I missed something?

• hushabomb Posted: Jul.2 at 12:36 am
  Redd won’t resign and if he does who is he gonna play behind? Cos Corey and Salmons are playing in front of him now. You haven’t won with Redd, you won with Bogut and Jennings. Redd is gone.

• JOE! Posted: Jul.2 at 2:32 am
  It’s OVER for Redd. Management didn’t even care that he was not around for the end of the season or the playoffs.

• Sam Raphael Chadwick Posted: Jul.2 at 5:24 am
  Good move for the Bucks they were solid end of last season and Salmons was a big reason why, great pick up.

• Will Lee Posted: Jul.2 at 9:37 am
  bargain. Salmons is the best type of scorer that can go with Jennings.
