"Some important moves were made"!"We're trying to keep improving and have inmediate impact" GM said. It will be hard to see important players go, but newcomers will make anyone who follows the team excited!
Fan favorite, CV3 was nt expecting a move so fast. "When I got the phone call, that was a little bit shocking, to be honest with you," Villanueva said of learning he had been traded after one stellar season in Spain. "Then I sat back and thought, we have a good group of guys here, and to play alongside a Finals MVP in Wade will be great."

"I think I fit pretty nicely. They expect a lot from me, and I'm ready to step up to the challenge."

Villanueva will be 22 by the time training camp starts in October. 7-foot Bogut, who will be 22 in late November.

"His passing and Andrew's passing open up the court for our perimeter players. Just their presence on the court, whether he has the ball or not, will open up things for other players."

Villanueva was picked seventh overall in the 2005 draft, and he emerged as one of the top rookies in the National Basketball Association last season. He averaged 13.0 points and 6.4 rebounds in 29.1 minutes per game while playing in 81 games, including 36 as a starter.

He ranked second among rookies in points and rebounding and third in blocks and minutes. As a starter, he averaged 14.2 points and 7.9 rebounds in 34.9 minutes.

"What I learned is trying to be consistent," Villanueva said of his adjustment to the pro game. "It was hard for me. I struggled a little bit. One day I would have a good game, the next day not so good."

But he impressed observers with his versatility and explosiveness around the basket. He played both small forward and power forward for the Raptors, and Stotts said Villanueva could play the 3 spot for the Bucks, if needed.

He had 18 rebounds in one game against New Orleans / Oklahoma City, and he dropped 48 points on the Bucks in a memorable March 26 game at the Bradley Center, the most points scored by any NBA rookie since Allen Iverson scored 50 points in 1997.

Villanueva sank 20 of 32 shots in that game, including six of 11 from three-point range.

"We couldn't do much about him," "He shot the three well that night, so you had to respect that. Then he was getting the drives, the offensive rebounds and points in the paint. He had it all going."

Despite Villanueva's head-turning rookie season, he was deemed expendable in Spain. Spain was looking for important players who will surely won't disapoint as much is expected from them to play alongside, 6-10 Chris Bosh.

"I think I had a pretty successful first year in Toronto," Villanueva said. "I was happy when I found out I was going to Milwaukee. I think this is where my career is going to take a big step forward."

JO, and T-Mac will surely bring their experience to the court as they know what winning a FBF championship is...!

GM wanted to dedicate this time to the last year rookie class from Spain, as they were all a total success in their seasons. This came as a news before an important press conference will be held in a couple days to announce some changes. Rumors have some of this rookies somewhere else. Bogut was Conquest's starting C all season, as his learning process in the nba was growing. As Chris Paul was the starting PG, and CV made an inpact off the bench as Salim. Some rookies may head diferent directions...

After three years of several moves, seems Spain's franchise keeps moving ahead with diferent strategies. "Last season was exiting in every point" GM said even with the short end not expected. After some weeks off, sources close to the Front Office said a new approach to the season was sought after. Even with the promise of young draft success in Bogut, and CV3 impact was a goal.
Some interesting players are about to determine their future in this playoff european team. As Chris W might end up the lonely star in Philly, he may also move to help another team with his big numbers, "Last season he was key for us, he battled with All-Star C. Bosh for the leader of the team, it will be hard to see him go" a player said last week. Spain's top player Chris Bsh, received a call this weekend notifying him of some possible big names coming aboard for next season. Who knows what to expect?
