The Bucks have signed 24-year old shooting guard Garrett Temple to a 10-day contract.  Temple played in 3 games (0 starts) earlier this year for the Spurs in which he averaged 7.0 minutes, 0.7 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game.  He has now played in 30 games (0 starts) in his first two years in the NBA and he is averaging 11.8 minutes, 4.6 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game.  Temple isn’t shy about putting up shots and the Bucks need help at shooting guard right now, so I like this signing for the Bucks.

The Milwaukee Bucks release 34-year old F/C Brian Skinner.  Skinner played in 2 games (0 starts) for the Bucks this year and he averaged 3.0 minutes per game.  Skinner didn’t score or get a rebound or assist with the Bucks this year.  The Bucks won’t miss Skinner too much as he was buried on the depth chart.

The Bucks have signed 34-year old power forward Brian Skinner.  Skinner played in 16 games (1 start) for the Clippers last season and he averaged 7.7 minutes, 1.6 points and 1.7 rebounds per game.  He has now played in 605 games (197 starts) in his NBA career and he is averaging 18.0 minutes, 4.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game.  To make room on the roster for Skinner, the Bucks have released rookie forward Darington Hobson.  Hobson injured his hip prior to the summer league and he never got into a game with the Bucks.

The Bucks have released veteran C/PF Brian Skinner. Skinner was just caught in a numbers game as the Bucks are loaded in the frontcourt. I think he will find a new job soon so I wouldn’t feel too sorry for him. In fact I look at this move as a big positive for the Bucks as it shows that they are very happy with the big guys they have ready to go this year.

The Bucks have signed 34-year old power forward Brian Skinner. Skinner played in 16 games (1 start) for the Clippers last season and he averaged 7.7 minutes, 1.6 points and 1.7 rebounds per game. He has now played in 605 games (197 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 18.0 minutes, 4.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. Skinner will likely be sitting near the end of the bench but the man can still rebound and play defense so I like this signing for the Bucks.

The Bucks have signed 34-year old point guard Earl Boykins to a 1-year, $1.3 million dollar deal. Boykins played in 67 games (1 start) for the Wizards last year and he averaged 16.7 minutes, 6.6 points, 1.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. He has now played in 587 games (34 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 20.4 minutes, 9.1 points, 1.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. Boykins will battle Keyon Dooling for backup minutes behind Brandon Jennings. I like this signing for the Bucks as you can never have too many solid basketball players on the roster.

The Bucks have signed 30-year old PG/SG Keyon Dooling to a 2-year, $4.1 million dollar deal. Dooling played in 53 games (8 starts) for the Nets last season and he averaged 18.3 minutes, 6.9 points, 1.0 rebound and 2.5 assists per game. He has now played in 595 games (62 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 19.6 minutes, 7.2 points, 1.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. This was a solid signing for the Bucks as Dooling is a good bench guard.

The Bucks have acquired 23-year old power forward Jon Brockman from the Kings for 24-year old power forward Darnell Jackson and a future second round pick. Brockman played in 52 games (4 starts) as a rookie last year with the Kings and he averaged 12.6 minutes, 2.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. Brockman is a very solid rebounder and the Bucks got him at a nice discount price. Jackson played in 28 games (0 starts) for the Bucks and Cavs last season and he averaged 4.4 minutes, 0.8 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.1 assists per game. This was a outstanding trade for the Bucks.

The Bucks have signed 28-year old power forward Drew Gooden to a 5-year, $32 million dollar deal. Gooden played in 70 games (33 starts) for the Clippers & Mavericks last season in which he averaged 25.1 minutes, 10.9 points, 7.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. He has now played in 580 games (429 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 27.7 minutes, 11.9 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. The Bucks have really improved the roster for the 2010-11 season and I love this signing for them as Gooden is one of the most underrated players in the NBA. He could be a threat to average a double-double for the Bucks this season as their starting power forward.

The Bucks have acquired 23-year old shooting guard Chris Douglas-Roberts from the Nets for a 2nd round pick in the 2012 NBA Draft. Douglas-Roberts played in 67 games (38 starts) for the Nets last season and he averaged 25.8 minutes, 9.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. He has now played in 111 games (41 starts) in his two NBA seasons and he has averaged 20.8 minutes, 7.9 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. This was another solid move for the Bucks who got Douglas-Roberts while keeping all four of their draft picks for tomorrow’s NBA Draft.
