I stole this from Pippen Ain’t Easy, there it is asked what the Bulls starting 5 should be, I think it is a good question for the Bucks.
Here is the roster as of now.

| 40 | Thomas, Kurt | F-C | 14 | TCU | 6-9 | 240 | |
| 1 | Ukic, Roko | G | 1 | None | 6-5 | 190 | |
| 21 | Warrick, Hakim | F | 4 | Syracuse | 6-9 | 219 | |
Here is what I hope for more than what I expect.
Jennings
Redd
Delfino
Warrick
Bogut
I expect the starting 5 to be Ridnour, Redd, Alexander, Warrick, Bogut. I do not see the point of starting Alexander if he does not get the majority of the minutes at the 3. I think players can see through an attempt to boost his confidence by making him a figure-head starter. If Delfino is getting more minutes, he is the starter.
The only locks in my mind are Bogut and Redd. I would think the trading of Amir Johnson locks in Warrick at the 4, but you never know.
I am assuming Sessions is gone with the starting 5 I listed above. I know some will have Ridnour as the starting PG, but I see no point in that. If the Bucks were concerned about not throwing Jennings to the wolves by starting him, then keep Sessions. Since it has become obvious there is not a strong intention on the Bucks side to keep him, give the ball to Jennings.
What do you hope the starting 5 will be?

The likelihood of Sessions coming back increases as the days go past….obviously Sessions doesnt want to come back because he would only get 1 million and still be restricted at the end of year again. Does anyone know if the Knicks are even allowed to offer a deal where the salary for 2010 is completely unguaranteed? If they can, I see him signing with the Knicks. If not, it seems Walsh doesn’t want to give up any little bit of cap space for LeBron
See new post. Apparently the Timberwolves are now the favorite.
