Step 1: Send Sam Cassell packing ...
The Bucks were shopping just about everyone this summer and shouldn't
stop with moving Robinson. While Robinson's laziness drove Karl nuts,
the always moody Cassell is also in Karl's doghouse. Cassell (who makes
just $4.5 million this year) comes at the right price. He recently inked
an extension, so whoever gets him can have him locked up for a while.
Karl still pines for Gary Payton and, given the latest developments with
Payton and the Sonics, a trade isn't out of the question. However, the
Sonics aren't that interested in adding Cassell. What the Bucks must do
is move Cassell to a team hungry for a veteran point guard and get back
an attractive player that they can bundle in a trade for Payton. Several
teams are in hot pursuit of Cassell, but the best fit may be Boston. The
Celtics recently traded away their point guard, Kenny Anderson, for Vin
Baker. Cassell would be a good fit and the Celtics could probably get
away with sending Eric Williams and one of their No. 1 picks to the
Bucks for him. Before you panic Bucks fans, read step 2.
