Suns recently offered Dragic for Brandon Knight. Bucks said no. Now Bucks get the guys they wanted all along -- MCW and Ennis -- for Knight

Trying to let this all sink in. Did we trade one player for three players? How does that work with our roster?

The Bucks have to be the longest team in the league after this.

No forum in the world could have handle current Bucks' board masssive ejaculation....

So happy. Waiting for confirmed details, really hope we still have this years pick though..

I don't really what to think... I kinda liked Knight but that contract looming was an issue. Seems like good value, but could see this amounting to nothing too. Gotta hope MCW develops into a legit PG. I liked Ennis outta Cuse, but he could go either way.

So glad we didn't move Knight for Dragic. No way Goran resigns with us.

Not a fan of MCW but you guys sure did get good value for this trade imo.

Brandon Jennings turned into Middleton, MCW, Ennis and Plumlee. Has Hammond been Trolling us this whole time????

Prince12 · Post #7172 » by **Prince12** » Thu Feb 19, 2015 8:43 pm

Not much word on what else left us, OJ, picks? I'm assuming picks. 3 young guys, loving it!

I'm still waiting for more confirmation of all the details, but I have two initial thoughts on this.

1)
Thank the heavens! We absolutely NEEDED to move on from Brandon Knight. I had given up hope that this regime would be smart enough to do so. I'm not a fan of MCW, but at least he's young and cheap, as are Plumlee and Ennis. I view Ennis as the main prize here and hopefully he can pan out into our PG of the future. This trade was VASTLY superior to not making this trade sending out Knight.

2)
What the hell are we thinking taking back Michael Carter Williams instead of the Lakers 1st round pick from the Suns?

Top 5 protected this year. Likely Lakers keep it this year, but if they get jumped by 2 or 3 teams in the lottery drawing maybe not. Only top 3 protected 2016 & 2017. Unprotected 2018. I would MUCH rather have had that pick than MCW. MCW was the weak link in the Sixers master plan, I've thought for some time. And now Hinkie has corrected that. Hinkie strikes again.

I hate, absolutely HATE, being involved in a trade where the likeliest best piece goes to someone else when it could have gone to us instead.

I guess if RealGM ever works again. I think they have to waive JOB3

100 percent agree with this, I thought it was a great trade until I saw what PHX had to pay PHI for us to get MCW. Lots of pressure on on kidd to turn MCW around.

At the same time it will be interesting to see how MCW plays with NBA talent in the middle of a playoff push.

Wisky4life · Post #7179 » by **Wisky4life** » Thu Feb 19, 2015 8:59 pm

Kidd probably wanted to raise and improve MCW and Ennis. I kind of wanted Isiah Thomas.

Ah, good ol' John Salmons on the move again on trade deadline day.
