MILWAUKEE (AP)- The Milwaukee Bucks waived forward Alan Henderson Friday, a day after acquiring him from the Dallas Mavericks. The Bucks traded Keith Van Horn to Dallas for Henderson and center Calvin Booth in a cost-cutting move that will enable general manger Larry Harris to make a big offer to Michael Redd, who will become an unrestricted free agent after the season. Booth and Reece Gaines, who was acquired from Houston for backups Mike James and Zendon Hamilton, will be third-stringers in Milwaukee for the rest of the season.

I'm not sure who's roster spot he takes, but having another big body in the post-season is always a good thing.
I believe that was the plan all along. To include Henderson in the trade to make the numbers match then waive him so the Mavs can pick him. Smart thinking Cuban... KVH 4 Booth.

I think he'll be able to do it again once Tariq's salary is a year away from expiring.
