As a fan of the Bucks, I’ve been keeping a close eye on their efforts to re-sign point guard Mo Williams, and I’m encouraged by a recent report in the MJS that indicates the Bucks are closer than ever to keeping Mo as a member of the Bucks for the foreseeable future. As I see it, re-signing Mo Williams is the key to this offseason for the Bucks, simply because he means so much to this team. Mo really helped carry the Bucks when Redd was injured last year, and losing him to the Heat would be a real blow, considering there’s not really anyone left in free agency who’d be a suitable replacement.

If we re-sign Mo Williams, our backcourt of Michael Redd and Mo Williams will be just about as good as any in basketball, and with a healthy Charlie Villanueva in the frontcourt to go along with Andrew Bogut and Yi, we’ve got the makings of a quality squad. Now obviously the Bucks need to convince Yi that Milwaukee really is the place he wants to be, but I’m confident once he visits the city he’ll realize it’s the place he wants to be.

Edit: According to the MSJ, the Bucks have re-signed Mo Williams to a 6 year, 51 million dollar deal. Roughly 9 million per season for a quality point guard in his prime isn’t a bad deal, at least by my estimation.
