Last week was a monumental one for Bill Simmons in regards to the NBA. Not only did Simmons completely depress me with a great look into how the NBA can save the Sonics (they can't), but he openly campaigned to be the new GM for the Milwaukee Bucks.... Finally, unlike nearly every other GM, I wouldn't be afraid to take chances because I could always go back to ESPN if I got canned. Don't kid...
Bill Simmons wants Larry Harris’ Job
thebratwurst.com 2/29/2008 — In ESPN The Magazine, Bill Simmons has decided to campaign for the upcoming Bucks’ GM opening . To be honest, he’d be a pretty good hire. No better than hiring me, but better than hiring a retread who has already failed as a GM once ...

hardwoodparoxysm.blogspot.com 3/4/2008 — We get linked on Simmons' link section , flooding us with hits, and of course, we get tagged as a "Bucks blog." That's what we get for calling him a douchenozzle, we suppose. "Oh, I'm a douchenozzle, am I? Yeah, well, you're a Milwaukee blog, now, ...

Ab Juli 2008: Bill Simmons neuer GM der Milwaukee Bucks? —
NBA-Blog
Bill Simmons, einer der drei besten Online-Basketballjournalisten, hat im Hinblick auf den demnächst vielleicht neu zu besetzenden Job des Bucks-GM (derzeit Larry Harris) folgende Kurzbewerbung abgebeben:
“By the way, I'd like to officially apply for Larry Harris' job -- a job we knew would be open three years ago after his deer-in-the-headlights performance after winning the 2005 lottery.

You have to hand it to Bill Simmons. The guy clearly knows how to incite a cyber-riot.
In his latest piece up on ESPN.com’s Page 2, Simmons shows that he has actually received backing from Milwaukee fans after sarcastically (well, almost) suggesting that he should be the Bucks new GM. Well, as the article in the link provided indicates, Bucks fans want him. Now.
And Simmons (I ...

We are on to the next step. Matt posted about a Bill Simmons article last week Thursday, in which Simmons casually mentioned in his basketball blog that he would like to apply for the Larry Harris' GM job.
Fast forward 1 week. Simmons I guess received numerous emails from Bucks fans begging him to follow through with his plea. He actually devoted his next ESPN the Magazine article to reasons

Hardwood Paroxysm has better photoshop skills than us (note the purple logo though) Earlier this week we officially threw our support behind Bill Simmons' campaign for the Bucks GM job , and we're now seeing the momentum build. It started with our buds at Hardwood Paroxysm getting in on the train , and then Bill assured us he's in this for the long haul. In fact, his latest ESPN the ...
Bill Simmons as Bucks GM? Done. —

As expected, all was quiet on the Bucks trade front last Thursday, as the only real "news" was that the Bucks still weren't interested in Zach Randolph (thank you, Herb, Ron, Mike, Larry, et al). Either way, the worst kept secret in Milwaukee seems to be that, barring something quite unforeseeable, Larry Harris will be the designated scapegoat for the Bucks' disappointing 07/08, raising ...

Caution: Bucks discussion below.
I just read in the Journal Sentinel that the Bucks once again shot down a trade proposal involving Zach Randolph. This is the second time a Randolph-to-the-Bucks trade has been discussed, and apparently refused, by the Bucks.
In this version, the Bucks would have given up Bobby Simmons (huge contract, never plays), Dan Gadzuric (huge contract, plays even less)
