Steal for the Bucks. Those guys were scrubs anyway. Even if they lose Redick, it's not like they're out much.

Tobias Harris isnt a scrub bro..guessing u only watch blazers games.

[HartfordWhalers]

Okay, I just added Philly as a choice. Because imo they are in the running for the winner.

Milwaukee secured the 8th seed further. And Philly despite being top 3 in the Redick race doesn;t blow assets and gets to keep its pick this year.

Harris is a decent get for Redick, but with Harkless also at sf a first like they were rumored to have on the table would have been better imo.

Still, this is a trade that makes sense for both. And highly casual fans can further get confused over which if Dunleavy/Redick are the same player. Win/win/win/win?

Tobias Harris is a decent prospect... and still VERY young.

It's less than Orlando fans might have been expecting, but it's still a good deal for Orlando.

MIL also getting Ayon and Ish Smith.

Hard to grade - MIL getting best player in deal, but will they have to overpay to keep him?

ORL does ok. They weren't going to pay 2 shooting guards, so getting something for Redick is a plus.

I'll call it pretty even, but if MIL can keep Reddick deal swings in their favor IMO.

Ayon and Ish both have had some moments so far. I like it.

I think Milwaukee came out slightly ahead but it makes a degree of sense for both franchises.

I agree. Many Magic fans overrated JJ. He built himself into a solid player, but he just isnt the right age for a rebuilding team. Harris looks like the type of player Hennigan is assembling for a young and growing team.

I've seen him. Color me unimpressed.

If this turns out like the Howard trade (getting assets that the teams thought they "might" turn out and they most certainly did) then I will be happy. I'd like to see how Beno does since Nelson is reportedly out for a while and see how that develops. many of the bucks fans seem really high on Tobias, so hopefully that'll work out as well

I for 1 am happy with the trade for the Magic. We would have probably lost JJ at the end of the season for less on a S&T deal, got rid of Ish and Ayon who had no future with the rebuild, and get chance to size up a couple of rookies with some decent PT. Picking up a serviceable PG at the same time makes it at least a win for Orlando. If the Bucks give JJ some decent PT then it's a win for them too!

I disagree with most opinions here, and think WTF are Milwaukee doing? Orlando got 3 intriguing young players for a one-dimensional FA-to-be, a back-up PF and a 3rd-string PG.

This is such a Milwaukee Bucks move. They'll probably give him the $40m/4 years his agent wants. They always seem intent on building an expensive 7th/8th-seed team. They have achieved it.

Meanwhile, Orlando continues to add young-talent and tank, and there is no better way to rebuild.

That seems to be the Bucks plan. Spend a ton of money to be average. It's wonderful being a Bucks fan.

In this deal, I think you're overvaluing what Milwaukee gave up. Harris has a chance to be a rotation player. Udrih is useful in a different settting (3rd string emergency point guard on a good team). Lamb is garbage.

I'd be surprised if anyone Orlando got became a good player for them.
