The Bucks are still waiting for a resolution regarding point guard Ramon Sessions.

Sessions, a restricted free agent, has drawn interest primarily from the Knicks and Clippers.

Milwaukee has a $1 million qualifying offer on the table for Sessions, but retaining him would give the Bucks four point guards.

"Nothing has changed from our standpoint," general manager John Hammond said. "It's still wait-and-see, to see what direction things go for Ramon.

"We have been in communication with (agent) Chubby Wells, and he's been very professional throughout the process. It's his timetable."

They already have Brandon Jennings, Luke Ridnour and Roko Ukic under contract.

The Clippers and Bucks recently engaged in sign-and-trade discussions involving Ramon Sessions, according to a source.

The Clippers, however, realized a sign-and-trade is unnecessary since the Bucks aren't in a financial position to match nearly any offer sheet Sessions signs.

Training camp is still a month away for the Bucks, but a number of players are working out at the team's practice facility.

Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, Joe Alexander, Brandon Jennings, Jodie Meeks, Andrew Bogut, Charlie Bell and Dan Gadzuric have been participating in the workouts.

"We're trying to change the culture here, and it's going to take some hard work," Mbah a Moute told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "Everybody understands that, from us young guys to the veterans.

"I think by early September, pretty much everybody should be back. We want to turn this thing around, and it's going to take a big commitment."

Alan Hahn writes that the Knicks do not have a standing offer to Ramon Sessions and that the team would only make a long-term commitment to the restricted free-agent if Donnie Walsh is able to move the contract of either Jared Jeffries or Eddy Curry.

Hahn therefore concludes that the Knicks' chances of landing Sessions this summer are remote.

A source with "intimate knowledge of the situation" told Alan Hahn that the Knicks remain interested in Ramon Sessions and that signing the restricted free-agent to an offer sheet is still one of Donnie Walsh's highest priorities.  

The Knick offer is believed to be around $4 million per season.  Hahn does not believe the Clippers are serious suitors to acquire Sessions and that Walsh is unwilling to bid against himself.

The Bucks stand only about $1.6 million from this season's luxury tax threshold.

Gery Woelfel of the Journal Times reports that the Knicks and Clippers know the Bucks will not match an offer sheet to Sessions but both clubs prefer to work a sign-and-trade with Milwaukee.

Carlos Delfino is hoping to earn significant minutes with the Bucks this season.

Delfino, who played in Russia last season, is thrilled to be back in the NBA. Toronto sent him to Milwaukee in a four-player deal earlier this week.

The former Piston and Raptor is expected to compete for minutes at the small forward position with Richard Jefferson playing in San Antonio.

"I think it's a chance," Delfino told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "Everyone will come here for the preseason and work for those minutes; I know that.

"I will get ready to try to get those minutes, but whatever is good for the team is good for everyone. I've been on teams that think that way, and those teams go farther. The Argentine national team is like that. We have many stars, but we just try to win."

Bucks center Andrew Bogut wasn't surprised by all the moves the team made this offseason.

"It's been expected. We've had some bad years in the past and we're trying to improve on it so we're trying to do anything possible," Bogut told the Associated Press. "Some people question our moves and some people think, 'Is it good? Is it bad?' But the guys in the locker room are the only ones it really affects."

Milwaukee agreed to a pair of four-player trades this summer, trading away Richard Jefferson to the Spurs and acquiring Carlos Delfino and Roko Ukic from the Raptors recently.

"He's a winner. All those Argentinian guys are all winners. They play a winning type of basketball. They're team-first players," Bogut said of Delfino. "They must be doing something right."

Andrew Bogut, rehabbing from a stress fracture that forced him out of the second half of last season, said Thursday his goal is to be ready for camp.

"I think it's on pace," he said. "If I can be ready to go then, the goal will be achieved. But, obviously, it'll be re-evaluated all throughout September."

Alan Hahn provides an update on the status of restricted free-agent Ramon Sessions.

"I continue to hear that the Knicks remain the 23 year old's last remaining legitimate option," writes Hahn. "The Clippers seem content with their roster and the Bucks just recently made additions (Carlos Delfino and Roko Ukic) that suggest they are ready to move on, as well."

According to Hahn, the Knicks are ready to sign an offer sheet at around $4 million per season if and when Sessions accepts.

To shed light on the Knicks? drawn-out flirtation with Ramon Sessions, have a look at RealGM?s Wiretap showing the Knicks? projected salary cap room next summer under worst-case, best-case, and better-than-best-case scenarios.

Under the worst-case scenario, the Knicks would still have $4.13 million of cap room left over after the team signed one max contract in the summer of 2010.  

Very likely, Donnie Walsh is trying to keep Sessions? second-year salary at or below the $4.13 million figure in case the worst-case scenario becomes a reality.

On the other hand, if the salary cap ends up higher than expected and/or the Knicks are able to shed the contracts of Jared Jeffries or Eddy Curry, then every dollar committed to Sessions in 2010-2011 would cut into the cap room that could potentially be large enough to allow the Knicks to offer two maximum salary contracts.

Meanwhile, after the trade to acquire Carlos Delfino and Roko Ukic, the Bucks have only $1.60 million of room left before they would pay the luxury tax this season.  The Knicks might therefore be safe from Milwaukee matching because their offer sheet to Sessions would be substantially higher than the $1.60 million figure in 2009-2010.
