Bucks has never stopped cleaning out. Imho Cloke's departure is the last of MM boys and maybe some other dissonants that don't sit well with him . And he can afford it, there is nothing left to lose.My point is that Buckley doesnt have 3-5 years to rebuild. All the planning has been around a tilt at the flag by 2017.
If we are trading out our power forward and relying on a 20 year old to carry the forward line, it means we have given up on that strategy.
On that basis, Buckley has to go as well.
FWIW, i am advocating keeping Cloke and Buckley. I dont think a cleanout is required.
I am just saying that Bucks really cant afford to go down the rebuild stage. He needs results. And he needs his power forward in form.
2017 is indeed not going to happen and the question will be next year how far off are we really with our list.
