Wurider05 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/view/61393 Bucks, Hawks chasing Elson Posted: Friday August 08, 2008 06:59AM ET Francisco Elson could move into the backup center role behind Andrew Bogut, if a deal can be struck between the Bucks and the 7-foot native of the Netherlands. Sources said the Bucks are considering a potential two-year deal with Elson, who split time last season with the San Antonio Spurs and Seattle SuperSonics. Elson would give the Bucks a better offensive option than current backup Dan Gadzuric, also a native of the Netherlands. Elson is a good foul shooter and can face up and hit jump shots in the 15- to 18-foot range. Elson has received offers from FC Barcelona and the Atlanta Hawks, according to HoopsHype.com I wasn't aware that we we pursuing this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyRoc Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 He would be a great backup C. If we can add him, and a player like Luke Jackson with the money we have left, then we're doing pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frosgrim Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Adding Elson would be a very nice move. It fits with what Sund likes to do, collect 7'ers. I actually hope we sign him. With Smith apparently back in the fold, I would think the Hawks are actually a better team than the Bucks. Plus, its Atlanta and not Milwalkee. So we sign Elson here is what we have: PG- Bibby/Acie SG- JJ/Evans SF-Marvin/Josh PF- Josh/Horford/Marvin/Solo/Morris C- Horford/Zaza/Elson/Morris That's 11 guys (am I missing someone under contract?). Still need to sign 3-4 more guys. They need to go ahead and ink Luke Jackson to back up at SF and get another PG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swish Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hey, not bad, I hadn't heard this! Sign Smoove, Elson, Luke Jackson, and take a flyer on Livingston if we can afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we should sign Othello Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johann Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 LOL Once ASG saw that fax from Memphis they called Elsons peeps and said nevermind. Ya never really know. Sund sweetened the pot and talked Evans into backing out of the Clippers deal. With the Memphis offer sheet, Rick now knows exactly how much he has to invest. So, we'll see.

frosgrim Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Speedy Claxton is still on our team. And we should sign Othello Hunter Right, I knew I had forgotten someone. So, we need: Center PF Swingman Elson, Hunter, Jackson Good enough for me. If not Elson, Magloire might be worth a flyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
