Trade Proposal: Nets and Bucks HUGE SHAKEUP.
Posted: Fri Dec 5, 2008 7:31 pm
This is a small trade deadline trade that would benefit both teams (assuming the Nets are unable to, or don't want to, package Swift + a prospect for anythingl):
Nets Trade:
- Stromile Swift - ($6,200,000) - Expiring Contract
Bucks Trade:
- Damon Jones - ($4,460,186) - Expiring Contract
- Austin Croshere - ($797,581) - Expiring Contract
*I originally had the Bucks acquiring Maurice Ager as part of the deal since they're receiving the better player in Swift, but not only would that be cruel but it would have taken the Bucks over the luxury tax.
---
Basically the Bucks add a legitimate rotation level big to their roster at the expense of two players who never really play for them.
For the Nets they thin their big man rotation, add that third-string quasi-backup PG they've been looking for, all while saving $1,739,814 (after they waive Austin Croshere and his unguaranteed contract).
