“Last night, for instance, we had the 19th pick, and we’re coming down and we’re actually talking to Milwaukee on the 17th pick, talking about trading up to get a guy we like,” Schlenk said. “There were a couple of guys we felt really good about on the 19th pick, obviously Kevin [Huerter] was one of them, and it leaked who Milwaukee was going to take.”
Unfortunately for the Bucks, Schlenk received an out from those talks when reports of Milwaukee’s intentions to draft DiVincenzo emerged and he realized there was no need to move up to secure Huerter’s services.
“So, all of a sudden, we were able to pull back out of that deal and keep the draft pick instead of packaging picks to move up because we knew that, two guys on the board we felt really good about and only one team in between us, so that was beneficial to us last night.”
Bud leaving the Hawks was a mutual agreement so not sure why there would be any sour grapes
