You Gotta Trade Bogut...

When he gets healthy. Man, does this cat have issues.

Pad every surface in the meantime.  Always hurt.

I think the Bulls would be interested. How does a bag of balls and a signed John Paxson Jersey sound?

When he gets healthy.

that's a pretty narrow window of opportunity

Bucks 1st round draft picks since 2000:
2011 Tobias Harris
2010 Larry Sanders
2009 Brandon Jennings
2008 Joe Alexander
2007 Yi Jianlian
2006 No 1st round pick
2005 Andrew Bogut
2004 No 1st round pick
2003 TJ Ford
2002 Marcus Haislip
2001 No first round pick
2000 Jason Collier

12 drafts and 1 guy who is going to live up to what you would expect a 1st round player to produce. Harris and Sanders could, but I'm not holding my breath. No wonder this organization is a joke. And they're just good enough that they're always picking like 12th now. Not in the Playoffs, but not getting high enough draft picks to improve either.

Drafting good players especially in the NBA, much like recruiting them in college, is the lifeblood of an organization.

Bogut is a bust.

If Bogut is a bust, he's not one I fault the Bucks brass with though. If he stayed healthy, he definitely produces like a first rounder. (maybe not a first overall, but a first rounder) I can't blame the organization that he can't stay on the floor.

Some of those other picks though, are awful.

If Bogut stayed healthy, all-star.

I agree that the Bucks draft seem to be terrible but according to this from 1989-2008, bucks actually get the most value out of picks....

I definitely agree with you there.

Still haven't forgiven the Bucks for drafting Yi and Joe Alexander. Totally embarassing

Also agreed with this.

Yup. For me, Alexander was the absolute worst. At least with Yi, there seemed to be a little logic to it. "Is his game going to translate" "Can he dominate here like he did in China" etc etc. There ws some hope of the upside being there. With Alexander, it was like mock drafts made the Bucks pick for them. There was never anyone saying "Joe Alexander can be a really good player in the NBA"  It was like the Bucks were resigned to failure already.
