First-round draft pick Brandon Jennings has yet to break a sweat in practice for the Milwaukee Bucks, and he's already doing a little backpedaling on defense. Speaking after the Bucks' pre-summer league practice Monday, Jennings expressed regret for drawing unwanted attention when his profanity-laced and provocative telephone conversation with a rapper was videotaped and posted on YouTube...

Some big names will be out there. The big spenders will be harder to find. Free agency opens in the NBA on Wednesday, but there should be few fireworks this July. The blockbuster trades were last week, and the real free agent bonanza is next year. Financial difficulties, combined with the potential of one of the best classes ever in 2010, will have most teams keeping their check books closed this...

Bucks make offer to Sessions but not Villanueva (AP)

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:17:54 PDT

The Milwaukee Bucks have made qualifying offers to restricted free agent guard Ramon Sessions and forward Ersan Ilyasova, but will not make an offer to forward Charlie Villanueva -- allowing one of their top scorers from last season to become an unrestricted free agent. Meanwhile, the team also is dealing with a potentially embarrassing YouTube moment from first-round draft pick Brandon Jennings.

Bucks send Jefferson to Spurs in 4-player swap (AP)

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 21:14:48 PDT

The San Antonio Spurs needed a scorer and they needed to get younger. They got both in one deal. Milwaukee sent swingman Richard Jefferson to San Antonio on Tuesday for Bruce Bowen, Kurt Thomas and Fabricio Oberto, taking three aging bench players with expiring contracts to unload Jefferson and the $29.2 million owed in the final two years of his contract.

Bucks Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 02:50:31 PDT

If there were any doubts about the Bucks' intentions for the upcoming draft, they should be dispelled now.

The Bucks, who have the 10th overall selection in the draft, clearly have their sights on drafting a point guard.

With Ramon Sessions becoming a restricted free agent on July 1, Bucks officials have deep reservations about whether they'll be able to re-sign him.

As such, the Bucks are expected to protect themselves by drafting a point guard. They've already worked out Jrue Holiday of UCLA, who is considered a lottery candidate, and Eric Maynor of Virginia Commonwealth, considered a mid-first-rounder.

The Bucks are also going to take an up-close and personal look at four other highly-touted point guards—Jonny Flynn of Syracuse, Brandon Jennings...

When Josh Heytvelt meets NBA personnel at each stop along his pre-draft workout tour, he always has an answer for the first open question, "Is there anything you want to tell us about yourself?" There sure is, and it's a story he's repeated a lot lately. Heytvelt was arrested with a Gonzaga teammate for a drug offense on Feb.
