Przybilla, Bucks reunion could be in the cards

Which brings us to Joel Przybilla. He's with the Portland Trail Blazers, but will become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Przybilla, who played his first three-plus seasons in the NBA with the Bucks before being dealt to Atlanta, has a robust reputation as a defender, with above average shot-blocking and rebounding skills.

At 31, Przybilla would appear to be the ideal complement to starting center Andrew Bogut.

I recently spoke to Przybilla about whether he would seriously consider returning to Milwaukee.

"I definitely wouldn't mind playing for the Bucks," Przybilla said. "My first preference would be to stay in Portland; I have to see what their plans are for me.

"But my second choice would be Milwaukee. I wouldn't mind playing there at all."(...)

Drew Gooden's season hasn't gone the way he envisioned.

He has been hampered by plantar fasciitis and a bruised left heel. Furthermore, the injury-ravaged Bucks have been slow out of the gates with a disappointing (13-20) record.

Yet, Gooden is quite content in Milwaukee, especially when it comes to satisfying his hunger.

"Out of all the cities I've played in, Milwaukee has the best restaurants. And I'm including Chicago," said Gooden, whose much-traveled career also includes stops in Memphis, Orlando, Cleveland, San Antonio, Los Angeles and Dallas. "The restaurants in this city are unbelievable. You got Italian restaurants, German restaurants, Tai, Chinese, American ... You name it, they got it here."
