According to sources familiar with the discussions, the Blazers will acquire former All-Star center Jamaal Magloire from the Milwaukee Bucks for point guard Steve Blake and reserve centers Brian Skinner and Ha Seung Jin.

Horrible, horrible trade for the Bucks....:thumbdown

A legit starting center for Steve Blake? Yuck..

I don't really understand this trade at all honestly. Contracts all expire at the same time, so no real motivation there. Skinner is not a player you can count on in any respect. I guess they needed a backup pg for Mo Williams. Ha has potential, but I wouldn't count on him either.

But you know, Magloire has never been happy anywhere so the Bucks probably just wanted him gone and out of the locker room.

Stupid stupid trade, Harris fleeced the Raptors only to get fleeced by Portland a month later...terrible deal.

Any edge you guys got in the Villa deal was erased or gone further in the red with this move.

Why? Magloire serves them no purpose...atleast they got somethign for him.

I think bucks could have gotten alittle more for mags then that. but i could care less, neither team can step up to the cavs. aleast i hope not.

Bucks could have gotten WAY more than that for Magloire:

1. Big men are in high demand
2. Magloire is a starter quality
3. Magloire has a big expiring contract

I mean, no offense to Steve Blake, but you can pick up that kind of play for cheap in any offseason. Ha has potential, but what player doesn't. Skinner past his prime.

Eh, whatever, just seems a little strange.

While the "talent" balance on this trade can be debated, there's no doubt that this trade will make the Bucks a better team. Keep in mind, the "market" dictated Magloire's value, not fans or even Larry Harris. Mags has been on the block for months now, but he is what he is, a solid rebounding, woefully inefficient one year rental.

Would you guys presume that Harris turned down a deal for Danny Granger, Josh Childress, or whatever your "better value" trade may be to settle for Blake and Skinner? Mags had to go and this was obviously the best deal on the table. I also doubt that Harris wanted to improve an eastern conference team so the trade makes sense all around.

The Bucks are a pretty bad team defensively but are making moves to combat that inherent weakness by bringing in players that are better defensively (Blake over Ford, Skinner over Mags...blocks per 48) but more importantly OFFENSIVELY efficient.

Bogut will quarterback a 4 around 1 offense from the post. The offense will be highlighted by post passes and ball swings to open shooters. The Bucks will host a bevy of deadly 3 point and perimeter shooters that will limit transition opportunities by the opponent by putting the ball into the hole with more frequency.

Blake and Redd will lead the league in fewest turnovers for a backcourt. Ford was a terrible turnover machine last season which led to breakouts for the opposition....his penetrating and missing layups did the same.

Great trade for the Bucks. The Villa deal allowed Harris the flexibility to find the best "pieces" for Mags instead of having to find a starting power forward....which the market never would have given him.

If he could have gotten way more, is the problem that the GM is stupid and does not know talent? Didn't wait long enough? Or just would rather take a lessor offer.

One year of Magliore, a backup level talent isnt nearly as high as you think.

Deal seems pretty fair. Multiple backups for one big backup.

Absolutely. All players involved have expiring deals. Blake and Skinner will help the Bucks more than Magloire....Bogut is now our starting center.

Now you have 3 inefficient one year rentals. None of these guys have seen the court much. Skinner has never gotten consistent playing time (except for the Bucks 3 years ago) and he is 30 so he isn't going to start now. Blake is an inconsistent shooter. Ha is a project.

Would you guys presume that Harris turned down a deal for Danny Granger, Josh Childress, or whatever your "better value" trade may be to settle for Blake and Skinner? Mags had to go and this was obviously the best deal on the table. I also doubt that Harris wanted to improve an eastern conference team so the trade makes sense all around.

Magloire maybe wanted to go, but there was still A LOT of time before he HAD to go. I can't honestly believe this deal was the BEST the Bucks could get.

The Bucks are a pretty bad team defensively but are making moves to combat that inherent weakness by bringing in players that are better defensively (Blake over Ford, Skinner over Mags...blocks per 48) but more importantly OFFENSIVELY efficient.

Again, I don't see Skinner getting much time on the floor and Blake isn't a good shooter and isn't any sort of defensive force.

The Bucks will host a bevy of deadly 3 point and perimeter shooters that will limit transition opportunities by the opponent by putting the ball into the hole with more frequency.

But if you miss you aren't going to get the ball back as often because your rebounding has now taken a hit.

Blake and Redd will lead the league in fewest turnovers for a backcourt. Ford was a terrible turnover machine last season which led to breakouts for the opposition....his penetrating and missing layups did the same.

Turnovers may decrease but second chance shots probably will too considering the lack of rebounding.

Great trade for the Bucks. The Villa deal allowed Harris the flexibility to find the best "pieces" for Mags instead of having to find a starting power forward....which the market never would have given him.

Well, the good news is, you only have to watch it for a year max.

Ferry would kill for Blake. Blake would start over Snow and Jones.

Owned.
