Bucks sign G Tyronn Lue, F Malik Allen MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The Milwaukee Bucks have signed guard Tyronn Lue and forward Malik Allen, giving coach Scott Skiles two more veterans in his inaugural season. The team did not reveal terms of either contract. The 31-year-old Lue played for Atlanta and Dallas last season, averaging 5.8 points and 1.5 assists in 50 games. The 6-foot guard was drafted out of Nebraska with the 23rd pick in the 1998 draft. He has averaged 8.9 points, 3.3 assists and 1.8 rebounds in his 10-year career, which included championship seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2000 and 2001. Allen began last season in New Jersey before being traded to Dallas. The 6-foot-10 Allen averaged 4.6 points and 2.7 rebounds last season and has averaged 5.7 points and 3.2 rebounds in his seven-year career. (Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press.
