#12, Brockman, Leuer, SL for #14, Dalembert

[ReasonablySober]

Like I said, I'd guess Ellis and our pick would be involved, especially with the Howard rumors out there. Aren't they pals or something?

[LUKE23]

I'd trade down if it meant us missing on a big and still landing Ross, Jones, or Jones III. I think we could miss out on both Ross and T. Jones by moving to 16 though.

[afroblackarican]

I'd go for Gooden/12 for Dalembert/14 or 16

[The Wet Whistle]

I don't mind trading down if we still get Terrence Jones.

Or Perry, imo

[WRau1]

Most likely dependent on if HOU gets Howard.

[VinBakersDozen]

Ellis/12 for Dalembert/16/18?

[pe_it72]

Monta, beno, 12

for

K-mart, Dally, 16

They then use 12, 14, 18, and Lowrey to move into the top ten

[BucksRUS]

Assuming it is Dalembert and 16 for 12 (after the moritorium) or Dalembert and 16 for 12 and Beno. Maybe just Dalembert for Udrih. I would like it better than drafting Zeller or Henson.

Again, assuming nothing stupid would be done at the last minute (can't rule that out unfortunately) this looks like a smart option to pursue. Dalembert is a one-year rental at C; you don't waste a pick on Leonard or Zeller at 12 and you add at least one decent pick (and maybe more if you can 14 and 16 or 14 and 18). Dalembert comes off the books, freeing up more money after next season.

This all looks good on paper which leads me to think it either won't happen or something really dumb will occur to switch it all up and make it an epic fail for the Bucks.

[raferfenix]

If the Rockets are still gunning for Howard than I could see them valuing Ellis higher than anyone else would.

I also could see the Bucks valuing Lowry highly if we're planning on trading Jennings. Maybe even as part of a 3-way deal with Jennings going to the Kings or something.

[LUKE23]

I'm guessing Udrih/12 for Dalembert/16 is the deal. I'd do it if Zeller/Leonard/Henson are the guys we're targeting at 12. I wouldn't do it if we're targeting Lamb and he's there.

[Bernman]

If Ellis helps keep Howard happy in Houston then Hammonds better convince them of doing Dalembert/16 or 18 for Ellis (NO 12!) or he will have failed. Dale is no world beater.

[europa]

If it's Ellis/12 the Bucks better be getting 14 for sure and either 14/16 or 14/18. Ellis/12 is a decent amount of value to be giving up.

[ReasonablySober]

Dalembert is better than Ellis. That's why I'd assume the pick is involved.

12 > 16 or 18
Ellis < Dalembert

I agree with this, but if it happens, it will have meant our haul for Bogut was Udoh, Dalembert, and moving down 4/6 spots in the draft.

[europa]

I think Ellis is better than Dalembert. Sammy really hasn't done much of anything of note the past few years.

[The Wet Whistle]

Dalembert is better than Ellis. That's why I'd assume the pick is involved.

12 > 16 or 18
Ellis < Dalembert

Not sure I agree that Ellis < Dalembert. I think Ellis should have pretty decent trade value

[ReasonablySober]

Houston has traded Sam Dalembert as part of a package to Milwaukee, league sources tell Y!

[BucksRUS]

Dalembert is better than Ellis. That's why I'd assume the pick is involved.

12 > 16 or 18
Ellis < Dalembert

Depends on the GM. Ellis > Dalembert for most GMs.
