It’s been a busy Thursday so far for the Milwaukee Bucks in today’s NBA Trade Deadline.
Here’s what we know so far with Shams Charania being the first to report the 3-team deal:
Milwaukee is acquiring Jae Crowder from the Brooklyn Nets.
The Bucks are sending three second round draft picks to Brooklyn.
The Bucks are sending Jordan Nwora and Serge Ibaka, as well as two second round draft picks to the Indiana Pacers.
Adrian Wojnarowski sent out a ‘Woj Bomb’ on Twitter.
Milwaukee has sent George Hill and a second round draft pick to the Indiana Pacers. It’s unclear as I write this if this is a separate trade or if this is still part of the Nets trade.
My Thoughts On The Moves So Far:
I like the moves, yes it was an expensive day for the Bucks and gave away several draft picks, luckily second round draft picks.
The Bucks got a wing defender, which they needed badly, in Jae Crowder.
My only concern is Crowder hasn’t played a game since the playoffs last May, so I’m curious to see how he’ll come back from not playing a game in 270 days.
The Bucks also opened up roster spots by shedding Jordan Nwora, George Hill and a disgruntled Serge Ibaka. This gives Milwaukee the opportunity to be active via the buyout market.
It will be interesting to see if the Bucks package something for an offensive upgrade.
One hour and twenty minutes to go before the trade deadline.
