    Milwaukee is sending Henson, Dellevadova, 2021 1st and 2nd round picks to Cleveland for George Hill and Sam Dekker.

    They'll find a way to screw it up but dare I say that is a great move for Cleveland (depending on the protections of the 1st rounder). I almost always think getting a 1st round pick for a salary dump is a good idea though.

    A well written piece by a brilliant basketball mind.

    I thought the Bucks might've valued John Henson more. He seemed to be doing good things for them early in the season. Maybe he had to go to set Thon Maker free?

    As much as I hate to say this, I would rather just wait for the bad contracts to expire rather than attach a 1st round pick unless one of the players coming back was a piece that could help in the future.

    What if we could sign Layman snd another valuable player with the money we save. And make the current team significantly better for the next few yeara that Dame is here. Not saying draft picks have value, but we already are the youngest team every stinking year.

    It’s a good deal for Bucks. Brogdon, Bledsoe, Lopez and Middleton all expire after this season. Clearing over $20million in salaries as absolutely 100% needed.

    We can re-sign Layman regardless of what our salary situation looks like - don't need to clear space to keep him. And we will never sign a valuable player until we get to the WCF - so clearing cap space is pointless.

    I'm not holding out hope of that either.

    Russ with the quadruple-double, 24 pts/17 reb/13 ast/10 TOV in a loss to the 5-20 Bulls.

    Hey @HCP , so much for winning the games they are supposed to win.
