With the 2007 NBA Lottery upcoming, the Milwaukee Bucks will have an interesting decision to make. Assuming the lotto-balls fall the way they’re supposed to, the Bucks will get the #3 overall pick in the draft. The two-outright stars (Kevin Durant and Greg Oden) will most certainly go 1-2, then Bucks will find themselves in an interesting spot. The question is what are Larry Harris’ plans for free agency? Does he plan to lock up Mo Williams to a deal, or would he rather let Mo take his paycheck and head elsewhere for next season? That is proably the most burning question right now, because this decision may cost Harris his job. If he decides to not pay Mo, there are still options. They could trade down a few spots in the draft and pick up Mike Conley Jr, the point guard from Ohio State. However, if Harris deems Conley not NBA “ready” enough, Chauncey Billups would also be an intriguing option to fill the possible void at point. If Harris decided to stay at three, do they go with another big man? Tarheel freshman Brandan Wright is projected to Milwaukee at three, and Florida players Joakim Noah and Cory Brewer will most likely be available. But if the ball bounces the Bucks way again, (like in 2005), the decision at #1 should be a pretty easy one. Yes, Oden is a rare big man, but Kevin Durant’s talent and upside would be too great to pass up. He also would fill a need for the Bucks, at the 3. Bobby Simmons has thusfar been a major disappointment, and may be better off if he went back to his old role in which he won an award with the LA Clippers. What was that? 6th man. Simmons needs to play off the bench. This decision would be the best for Harris, so let’s hope the Bucks get lucky once again. The best situation would be to let Mo and Reuben Patterson walk, assuming they’re offered ludacris contracts, and resign guards Charlie Bell, Earl Boykins, and forward Ersan Llyasova. Then try like heck to land Billups, who has expressed verbal interest in Milwaukee. Just think: PG Billups, SG Redd, SF Durant, PF Villanueva, C Bogut. 6th man: Simmons, others off bench: Boykins, Bell, Gadzuric, Noel. If I was the East, I’d be nervous if the Bucks had that lineup. Bottom line: Trust in Harris, not Herb Kohl.
