			<description><![CDATA[ The future, at least as it pertained to big men, seemed locked in place for the Milwaukee Bucks.  Center Andrew Bogut and power forward Yi Jianlian, two 7-foot lottery picks who would grow into their bodies and their roles over time and give the Bucks twin towers at the power positions.  That changed on draft day last week when the Bucks traded Yi to New Jersey for small forward Richard Jefferson and used their first-round pick on ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ ST. FRANCIS &#8212; The Milwaukee Bucks sent a signal Thursday that their offseason work isn&#39;t completely done, not even after trading for veteran New Jersey Nets forward Richard Jefferson and adding West Virginia forward Joe Alexander with the eighth pick of the NBA draft.  The Bucks opened their draft-day activities with the deal that brought Jefferson to Milwaukee in exchange for forwards Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons, then added Alexander to the ranks with the first ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ MILWAUKEE &#8212; For months, first-year general manager John Hammond offered few clues about the future of the Milwaukee Bucks&#39; roster.  All we knew was that Hammond wanted players who were willing to execute the offense and play hard-nosed defense, something easily deduced after he selected tough guy Scott Skiles to be his coach.  But would Hammond retain the underachieving nucleus he inherited and build on it or would he blow up a selfish, dysfunctional team and start ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ ST. FRANCIS &#8212; No matter what the Milwaukee Bucks do with the eighth pick in&nbsp;Thursday&#39;s NBA draft, it is just one small step in the process the team&#39;s new front office faces going into next season.   John Hammond, the Bucks&#39; new general manager, gets his first chance to make an imprint on an organization that won just 26 games last season.   Even Hammond is not sure what the direction the Bucks are heading ... ]]></description>

			<link>http://madison.com/wsj/home/sports/bucks//293359</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ In the last couple of years, the NBA draft has been turned upside down by the smallest men on the floor.   The old draft mantra &#8212; &#34;When in doubt, go big&#34; &#8212; has gone the way of the four-year college player.   In the minds of many, point guard has replaced center as the game&#39;s most important position.   The success of teams quarterbacked by point guards such as Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Chauncey ... ]]></description>

			<link>http://madison.com/wsj/home/sports/bucks//293121</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ In the process of giving Boston its 17th NBA title last week, the Celtics gave the rest of the NBA something else:  Hope for next season.  Especially the teams in the bottom half of the NBA.  Yes, even the Milwaukee Bucks, who won only 26 games and endured still another management purge, and their incredibly loyal fans, most of whom fall somewhere between disgusted and disillusioned, can look at the Celtics and ask with a straight face, &quot;Are ... ]]></description>
