Chi-Milw

Kuzma for PWill/Port pick

Milw saves some $ now and a bit next year, and adds a pick. They hope Giannis can somehow inspire PWill to regain his form

Chi gets a better (still bad, but better) player now, and a shorter contract. Bulls could have major 2026 and 2027 cap space, plus Kuzma is an expiring next season.

Maybe it's a bad move for my Bulls, but PWill was really bad last season

I still really like Kuz for Ayo and Patrick.

I think that’s better for Chicago than losing the upside of Portland being a play off team in a year or two.

And Milwaukee should really do either one.

Is it legal for the Bucks to take back this much salary?

PWill is bad but a good teammate.

Kuzma is bad and also a ballhog who thinks he's Carmelo Anthony.

They have plenty of tax space / apron space and it’s only a 3 million dollar difference, even as a 2 for 1.

It’s really tough to get Milwaukee over the first apron this season.

That's an interesting option. Ayo might be my favorite current Bull, but with Giddey/Coby/Jones/Huerter/Okoro (and us going nowhere anytime soon) this could be a good option. Plus, it saves the Bulls $ now and opens up cap space next year (if we had Ayo as a cap hold).

For Milw, Ayo is a great fit in their backcourt. Do the Bucks have a 2nd they could throw in?

Bucks have all our salary tied up in PF and C guys, this just makes it more so.

Bucks accept.

No Milwaukee is all out of seconds.

Probably could go for Tyler Smith? Real early 2nd round pick from a year ago. Doubt he holds much value, but I think Chicago could ask for him to feel like they’re getting something.
