Andrew Bogut misses practice with ribcage pain, Bucks sign Earl Barron

PrintUPDATE: According to Alex Kennedy of Hoopsworld, the Bucks have signed seven-foot center Earl Barron to a 10-day contract. The 29-year-old big man has played parts of five seasons in the NBA with the Heat, Knicks, and Suns, who released him earlier this year.
Andrew Bogut left the recent game against the Chicago Bulls early in clear pain, and you knew that this wouldn't be last we'd hear about it.
First reported by Gery Woelfel, Bogut left practice early and said that he "could not comment" on the matter. The JS followed up with an article:
Skiles said Bogut was examined Monday morning and another evaulation would be done later Monday.
Bogut has been dealing with pain in his right elbow and hand stemming from the injury he suffered on April 3 last season. Last week he expressed frustration with his progress in recovering from that injury.
He played 36 minutes against the Bulls in the Bucks' 83-75 loss on Saturday night and was 2 for 10 from the field, scoring six points and grabbing 16 rebounds.
Skiles described Bogut's new injury as a "left ribcage" pain.
Left ribcage? If he plays through a bad ribcage AND his arm/elbow struggles, then I salute you Bogut. But I also feel sorry that he has to go through this on a team that doesn't have a whole lot left in them. The guy's tough, though.
Skiles also said he wasn't sure how the lineup would look if Bogut missed then next game, as Ersan Ilyasova also missed practice, still recovering from his concussion. We're a soft skulled bunch. But he did have some kind words (by Skiles' standards) for Larry Sanders. Well, at least I think so.
"It wasn't just Larry. But that's a good guy to be measuring yourself against because he plays hard every minute he's on the floor. If you're not ready for it, he's going to overwhelm you. So it's a good experience for Larry."
This ship be sinkin'.

Bucks trainer code for "punctured lung"
Nothing to see here, he’ll be recovered in 2 5 13 64 days.
I never use a big word when a diminutive word would suffice.
Kind of weird...
If he rushed coming back from injury as he said, shouldn’t the medical team be held accountable for that?

Bogut IS what he IS
A hard-working, injury-prone center. Bucks are toast . How can they rely on him to be our core of the future? We can’t …simple, we just cannot.
Earl Barron
If we were going to pick up a D-League center, why didn’t we do that a long long time ago. I’m starting to believe Herb might sick of spending on the Bucks and vetoing some of Hammond’s moves. Otherwise there was no reason not to put a minimum salary D-League guy as our back-up C.
BTW
Did Brockman get him in the ribs? That’d be our starting PF and C if he did, he might be plotting for some PT.
That reminds of the good old days in the past off season when we were concerned the Bucks being too deep.
Remember the old “we have too many power forwards issue” That little problem took care of itself didn’t it? Or maybe Brockman took care of it. ;)
We *had* as Yogi Berra would have said
Deep depth

I've been wavering a bit lately
But I would say that Bogut should be extremely “touchable” on terms of trade talk. I know there are a few of the upper echelon teams that would love have a defensive minded centre like Bogut and if I got a decent offer(like around what Utah got)……….I’d pull the trigger in a Milwaukee minute.

Definitely, I'd even let the keep devin
Something like a deal with MN for Wes Johnson, parts, and their 2011 & 2012 1st for Bogut. That wud probably work.

Funny I was thinking the Wolves too
LIke Darko, Wes and 2 1s. I know the Knicks would love Bogut too but they’ve got nothing to deal with.

Toronto might have some options too
but I think Bogut would be less appealling to a team without a very legit PF.
Nah on the Raps
We’d probably have to take bargs or Calderon

All the preliminary denials have been made
Usually a sports team denies that it is going to (fill in the blank- fire the coach, move out of town, make a big trade) before doing the same. That has already been done regarding Bogut. So SHUT HIM DOWN, now.

Andrew Bogut has been getting too injured this season. Hopefully healthy for next season.
