Remember this guy? Well guess what, he's back. After being traded to the Bucks along with Adrian Griffin (now a coach) and Luke Ridnour (also pictured), Damon Jones will finally suit up for the Milwaukee Bucks. A mutual agreement between Jones and the club kept him on the 15 man roster but away from the club. The Bucks presumably tried to look for a trading partner but were unsuccessful. So now, for...

Thus far Adrian Griffin has mostly been known as one of Scott Skiles' favorite binkies from Chicago, and we've previously wondered aloud why the Bucks would pay the 34-year old the handsome sum of $1.71 million to sit on the bench when his deal was non-guaranteed. Well, score one for rationality: Griffin has been cut and veteran power forward Austin Croshere was claimed off waivers on the eve of the...

After adding Luke Ridnour and Damon Jones (and Adrian Griffin) and losing Mo Williams (and Desmond Mason) in the recent trade , the Bucks have five players capable of running the point: Ridnour, Jones, Ramon Sessions, Charlie Bell, and Tyronn Lue. While the Bucks are long on quantity at the one, quality is more of a question mark, though all five possess positive attributes. Ridnour capably started...

Weird deal in the NBA Wednesday: the Bucks sent shoot-first point guard Mo Williams to the Cavs, and a bunch of mediocre players swapped teams.

Mo Williams to Cleveland, a bunch of expiring deals shuffled elsewhere The official deal has Mo Williams going to the Cavs, Damon Jones' expiring contract, Luke Ridnour and Adrian Griffin to the Bucks and Joe Smith's and Desmond Mason's expiring contracts going to Oklahoma City.

Filed under: Bulls , Eastern , Chicago When Ben Wallace, Joe Smith and Adrian Griffin were shipped off at the trade deadline, my colleague Tom Ziller (tongue-in-cheek) lamented the loss of the Veteran Discipline Committee to keep Tyrus Thomas and Joakim Noah in check. But maybe there was something to that ... G.M. John Paxson suspened second-year forward Tyrus Thomas two games for an unexcused absence...

Filed under: Bulls , Chicago So, among all the bodies to switch places in the big threesome today, guess which three Bulls all got shipped out of Chicago? Ben Wallace , Adrian Griffin and Joe Smith -- the entire Veteran Discipline Committee which has (in multiple ways) held young Joakim Noah and Tyrus Thomas down. You may remember this episode: Chicago's elder statesmen didn't believe being benched...

Filed under: Bulls , Kings , Chicago This whole Joakim Noah v The Chicago Bulls battle does not look like it is going away anytime soon. After last weekend's smiting of Jo at the hands of Bulls veterans Ben Wallace and Adrian Griffin, Noah seemed more hurt and confused than remorseful and newly learned. Then as Wallace laughs on the bench in the midst of another bad loss, should we be surprised Noah's...
