Houston gets: Portis, Beasley

Bucks get: Eason, Dunn, Yertseven
Brook Yertseven
Giannis Eason Crowder
Middleton Eason Pat
Dame Dunn
Dunn AJJ Marjon AJG
Id like a better backup center, open to suggestions, but it's immaterial come playoff time when Giannis plays more 5, next to Eason.
This Bucks team is suddenly serious defensively, with a ton of versatility, and can still shoot the 3.
On paper I like the Jazz a lot as a potential trade partner and I’ve used them myself in trade ideas as a team I think some of their players could upgrade our roster. But I see 2 problems with Utah, 1. They’re right in the thick of things in the west and playing a lot better so dismantling the roster seems more unlikely and 2. Dealing with Dick-anny Ainge is always going to be an issue no matter what the trade is. Still feasible but I’m not sure I see it as clearly as I did just a few weeks ago. That ship may have sailed on us.
Utah is playing well, but their pick this year has been dealt, but is top 10 protected. I'm predicting, and hoping, they dismantle.
