"Bucks general manager John Hammond told me a few minutes ago that trade rumors circulating about center Andrew Bogut are not accurate.

"There's no truth to any of these false rumors that have been reported," Hammond said.

One report said the Bucks were considering a deal that would send Bogut and their No. 10 pick in Thursday's draft to Minnesota for the No. 2 overall pick.

Hammond said the Bucks "have not" talked with the Timberwolves about a deal.

It's worth noting that Bogut was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 draft. And while the 7-foot center was limited while recovering from major injuries to his right hand and right elbow last season, he continued to anchor the Bucks defense."
