GSW are said to be looking for a point guard and it's also no secret that they only have ONE center who actually play minutes. This trade gives them depth for the playoffs and gives them defense in both the backcourt and the frontcourt.
Obviously the sticking points are the contracts that the Bucks are looking to unload, but Bell's deal isn't crazy. He's only making 3.5M per year and Gadz is making $6M which if you look at salaries is not that bloated when you see what some other centers make.
GSW also does this because they don't give up any pieces that are useful to them right now.
Successful Trade Scenario
Congratulations on a successful trade.
There were BYC players involved in this trade, so this trade is subject to the BYC provisions of the CBA. Due to Milwaukee and Golden State being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. Milwaukee and Golden State had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out unless trade exceptions were used for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
