    What's the deal with Charlie Villaneuva?

    Supposedly Milwaukee is looking to dump him ASAP .... why? Is he a serious cancer? Or is it just a bad fit with Skiles, as the NY Daily News is reporting? Young guy, still on his rookie contract, in a contract year, 6'11", 11 ppg/6 rpg, 15 ppg/7 rpg as a starter - can play any frontcourt position .... what am I missing here? Would he be a good fit with the Wolves? Anyone know CV better than I do who can answer this?

    Would the Bucks bite on a package of Craig Smith and Mark Madsen?

    Cancer? No by all accounts he a is a good human being.

    Bad fit? I'd say yes. CV is was he always has been. A face finess scorer who avoids contact like the plauge. A dcent rebounder with the length to block shots on occasion but with no instinct for or inclination to play defense. He's simply a bad defender IMO. While he's a good person his motivation and work ethic have always been under question.

    The issue with the Bucks is that while a good player Bogut is more of a high post finess center. Paiering him with a guy like CV simply makes them too soft both on O and D. CV would be much more effective with a physical good defending Big man so he could spread the floor, grab a few leftover boards, feed the post (which he does well he's a good passer). He's kind of a glorified Donyell Marshall or a more skilled much worse defending Horry really. Put him with Yao, or Howard and watch him florish. Or you can stick him on a bad team and watch him put up some numbers. He's basically giot to play PF becuase he's too waek for centers and he's so bad on D he can't check SFs. I think thwe Bucks have seen enough to realize he's not going to change.

    Thanks 2Late. Sounds like he'd be a bargain for some teams but not ours.

    I think he might look nice in a Suns jersey to be honest.

    Wittman’s credentials as a losing coach are unimpeachable.
