NBA could force Bucks to Seattle?

This is just terrible, I really hope this doesn't happen to you guys. Looking on the bright side, this would cost the owners way more if they don't get an arena, so they should be willing to put in serious cash to get it done.

Call For A General Moratorium On Certain Subjects

+
  1. Any reference to Kidd's offcourt behavior unless it relates directly to him as a coach or another incident occurs.
  2. Kohl bashing, unless Kohl is related to something that is affecting the team.
  3. Drew bashing. He's gone, time to forget him, like Larry Krstkoviach, er Kreystkovovis, umm, time to forget about him.
  4. Talk about the team moving until there are signs that it is going to happen.
  5. Larry bashing, until we've seen him play at least one regular season game.

The Bulls were #1. The Bucks came in seventh place. The suck... no projection of the idea 2014 draft.
