Jackson tears Achilles during rehab, out for season.

Having strained his achilles tendon last week, Jackson had missed the last game. He took part in a 5 on 5 scrimmage today, and while jumping for a rebound, went down in pain. Torn Achilles tendon and out for the season. A similar injury to Kobe Bryant last season, but I doubt Jackson has as quick a recovery as Bryant. Jackson decided against the advice of the teams doctors, to rest his achilles for one more week before rehab. " I needed to get back on the court, the team needed me". Jackson wont be able to help the team out now. Jackson is said to be inconsolable at the moment. The Bucks will be expected to waive Jackson tomorrow. Although Jackson is keen to hang around and help out as a de-facto coach. "I aint gonna bail on these guys. Its the least I can do for the team, the guys, the organisation".

Bucks and Timberwolves Roll the Dice


Derrick Williams is heading to Milwaukee

The Minnesota Timberwolves stand at 6-15 and 2nd last in the West. Flip Saunders has just been hired as GM this off-season, and is instantly under pressure. He had to make a move to improve his bench. The Bucks standing at 13-9, 5th in the East, and are performing above expectations. Do they stick or move? Flip Saunders seen some unwanted but solid bench players on a tough eastern conference team, and decided he wants them. Gary Neal and Ekpe Udoh will give the T Wolves some strong bench depth. The Bucks give up all that bench depth for a player who may or may not live up to his potential. Derrick Williams has struggled to find his role with the Wolves, Playing PF and SF, and mostly off the bench, he has struggled to beat out Kevin Love, Corey Brewer and Shabazz Muhammed for a starting spot. Maybe a change of scenery is whats needed. The Bucks also gave up a 2014 2nd round draft pick. If this pans out for the Bucks they have an extremely athletic front court in Williams, Henson and Sanders. Defense and Dunks, we could see Lob City Light in Milwaukee.

Bucks Trade:
Gary Neal
Ekpe Udoh
2014 2nd Rd Pick

Timberwolves Trade:
Derrick Williams

Bucks Sign Michael Redd

With the trade of Gary Neal in the Derrick Williams deal, the Bucks had a spot to fill at the 2 guard. OJ Mayo is having a stellar season so far, so a solid vet to give him some spot minutes of the bench was needed. So who better to sign up than ex Bucks legend, Michael Redd. Redd signed a 1 yr vet deal, with a team option for a 2nd year. Redd who was unattached so far this season is relishing the chance to head back to Milwaukee and pull on the number 22 uniform again. " I'm delighted to be a Buck once again. This is where it all began for me in the NBA, and I'm happy to join such a competitive squad this season. The loss of Gary Neal has created a great opportunity for me. I want to use all my veteran savvy to help solidify the bench squad. The bench is a vital component to a winning team."

Redd is expected to make his re-debut against the Cavs tomorrow night.
