It’s open season on free agents and trades, and the Rnaptors (say it like that - it’s fun) sent the first bit o fun out there by moving Charlie V to the Bucks for spinally fused point guard TJ Ford.

It’s an interesting move that’ll hinge on whether first overall draft pick Doofy Italiano is all he’s supposed to be.

We’re not sure why a promising young big man like CV31 (as his hyperactively unreadable website dubs him) was such an easy get, but the people of Milwaukee are glad to have him.

“It was one of the primary needs that we were focusing on once the season ended . . . getting a power forward,” Bucks general manager Larry Harris said. “We really feel we filled that bill with the acquisition of Charlie Villanueva.

“Having said that, we got a very good player and we gave up a very good player. It goes without saying what T.J. has gone through. We wish him the best of luck and all the things he did for us we really appreciate. But we also feel that we got a tremendous young player who was first-team all-rookie, and was right up there neck-and-neck for rookie of the year.”

DUDE. Larry Harris just went “pun” on TJ Ford’s massive neck injury, whether he meant to or not. We like to think he did it on purpose, mainly because it gives us material.

Alas, great trade for the Bucks either way. Ford was nice but inconsistent, and fused necks are never all that great in terms of long playing careers. Plus, they’ve got a guy named Mo who filled in nicely for Ford when he would go down.

As for Charlie, he and his agent have officially declared the trade funny, which means he’s a great fit with Larry Harris, who wears sandals to press conferences.

That’s about all that’s happened so far, although the Cavaliers have formally offered LeBron the big extension. So, uh…we’ll just sit here and wait now.
