Milwaukee Bucks' star guard Michael Redd may be considered for a spot with Team USA basketball.

The thinking is that the team would benefit immensely by the addition of a top-flight outside shooter.  So head coach Larry Brown and his assistant coach Greg Popovich have been discussing the need to add Reggie Miller, Richard Hamilton, or Redd.

"With so much zone being played in the Olympics, we've got to have some kind of zone busters," Brown said. " 'Pop' and I were talking about what better zone buster (than Miller). I think Rip will have to be considered and Michael Redd and people like that."

Knowing that they no longer possess the element of suprise and that the teams below them are going to improve before they even have a chance, the Milwaukee Bucks are bracing themselves for a hard time trying to improve via free agency this offseason.  The team figure to have from $6 million to $10 million to spend, but do not have a first round draft choice.

"I don't want the fans to think that all we're going to be able to do is add one player and that's the way it is," GM Larry Harris said. "We have enough flexibility to be able to add some players to this roster. No, we're not going to be able to go out and sign a (superstar) free agent or something like that. We're doing to do it as a group and do it by committee and I think that's the way we're doing to have to win here in Milwaukee."
