Michael Redd has been lost to the Milwaukee Bucks for the remainder of this season with a torn ACL and MCL is his knee. It's obvious that this is a crushing blow to the team's tenuous playoff run this year. It's possible that they can sneak into the 8 spot still, but not likely. But I think the injury has deeper ramifications that this season's playoff chase.
An injury like this can cripple an entire franchise. John Hammond has started to make substantial roster changes for the better in Milwaukee, and I still think that trading Michael Redd was in the plans. Well, scrap that idea. Not only can it not happen now, but not in the next two years either. No one will want to take a risk on a guy who comes back from reconstructive surgery. The Bucks will be stuck with his contract. It would be tolerable if he was playing but for a year and a half of it at least, he won't even be on the court.
Just when things were looking like they were turning around in Milwaukee, there couldn't have been a more devastating blow. If Bogut doesn't get healthy, this year could turn real ugly fast. And the future once again looks bleak.

The only good thing is might give some young times some more playing time to develop. Sessions should see the court some more and so should Luc M. and Alexandar.
I do hope Alexander's minutes increase and he proves worthy of the investment. He could be the key to keeping this thing moving forward or taking a HUGE step back, or as the JS is reporting this morning, a huge step out of town..
