I've seen us trading Scal and Pruitt for Luc Mbah a Moute and Bowen on a couple different sites now and was wondering if there was any new (and more reliable) news out there? I'd love for this trade to go down. It would give us a great back up 2 and 3 (plus we'd still have Allen, Walker, and Giddens to trade or let develop).

I like the trade a lot if there is an ounce of true in it.

I doubt there is even a shred of truth in this.  They are all probably citing that one guys twitter page.

Can someone give a single reason why the bucks would look to move Mbah?  and I dont buy a $ issue (since no bad deals would be changing hands), and he is young and quite talented

I don't think they do.  This was all from a "rumor" on some random guy's twitter.  IMO, there is very little reason to believe there is any truth to the rumor, and that it was not just the brainchild of a bored blogger.

Why in the world would the Bucks make that deal? Unless Skiles has a man crush on Michael Rappaport I see no reason...

Maybe he's just broken up over the end of "The War At Home" like the rest of us. Some things don't ever stop hurting JR. Some thing you just learn to live with.

You're just saying that because he wrote the following on his site:

Really? Bowen is done. Luc is VERY NICE. He is a stronger, bigger Posey without the 3ball. He is the hustle guy who does all the dirty work that often makes the difference between a win and a loss. He mid-range J is above average. What makes him special is defense. He can be a lock down defender when needed. I would much rather lose either Walker or Giddens than lose Scal, but its still worth it. Don't why Bowen is involved, can't we just trade for Luc
