The Milwaukee Bucks gave up on the injury plagued career of center
Andrew Bogut by trading him and guard Stephen Jackson to Golden State Tuesday night.


The Bucks will get guard Monta Ellis, a prolific shooter, Ekpe Udoh
and veteran Kwame Brown, whose contract is expiring.


Ellis is in his sixth year after being a second round pick by Golden
State in 2005. He is a natural shooting guard so his pairing with
Brandon Jennings may be fruitful. He also has the ability to play the
point.


Udoh is a 6-10 forward-center who has just one year of experience.
Brown is in his 10th year as a center and is known as an effective
rebounder.

With a history in Milwaukee stretching back decades, Dave tries to bring a unique perspective to his writing, whether it's sports, politics, theater or any other issue.

He's seen Milwaukee grow, suffer pangs of growth, strive for success and has been involved in many efforts to both shape and re-shape the city. He's a happy man, now that he's quit playing golf, and enjoys music, his children and grandchildren and the myriad of sports in this state. He loves great food and hates bullies and people who think they are smarter than everyone else.

This whole Internet thing continues to baffle him, but he's willing to play the game as long as OnMilwaukee.com keeps lending him a helping hand. He is constantly amazed that just a few dedicated people can provide so much news and information to a hungry public.

Despite some opinions to the contrary, Dave likes most stuff. But he is a skeptic who constantly wonders about the world around him. So many questions, so few answers.
