According to Gery Woelfel of the Racine Journal Times, the Milwaukee Bucks, who currently hold the 17th pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, are "definitely exploring ways to move up." The bait is rumored to consist of third-year veteran forward John Henson, the future first-round pick owed by the Los Angeles Clippers (from the Jared Dudley trade), and possibly point guard Michael Carter-Williams. Woelfel has consistently passed along rumors that the Bucks might not be totally sold on Carter-Williams as a fixture in their future plans, making it possible he could be flipped in a deal just a few months after Milwaukee acquired him in a three-team deal. While a willingness to trade away MCW might endear some to Milwaukee's front office, it also sets up a confusing chain of logic. Some reports indicated the Bucks could have kept the Los Angeles Lakers' first-round pick in their deal with the Phoenix Suns (logically it follows given Philly's only involvement was MCW), but instead elected to send it to Philadelphia in exchange for the then-reigning Rookie of the Year. So Milwaukee clearly had hope MCW could improve his play and ultimately become a more valuable player than whoever that first-round pick eventually became. Every team involved was likely doing its own internal calculus on that Lakers pick anyway, evaluating when and where in the draft it was likely to be conveyed (top-5 protection kept the pick in LA this year, and it's top-3 protected in the next two). - See more at:http://www.brewhoop.com/2015/6/23/8...kee-bucks-trade-rumors-henson-carter-williams
