Windhorst & Stein: Bucks trade Plumlee to Hornets for Hawes and Hibbert

[Matches Malone]

This is an excellent plan. I'm at the point where I'm okay if Monroe opts in one more year.

If all that were to happen, who would be the free agents we could suddenly afford?

Chris Paul, Kyle Lowry... lol jk

Realistically and depending what we do in the draft:

Patty Mills
Amir Johnson
PJ Tucker
Tyreke Evans
Nerlens Noel (Restricted)
George Hill
Jrue Holiday
Kyle Korver
Langston Galloway

I didn't really look into the restricted guys besides Noel. I think any of the good RFA will get matched.

Either Henson or Moose is not on this roster in three weeks. One of them is going after today.

Is hawes even likely to opt in. I mean with the money getting tossed around is he really wanted to opt in for 6 mill? So if he decides no is that 33 mill free space. Geez. Make it happen.

Would be nice. In a perfect world I'd like to see

Henson traded for expiring
Monroe Opts out
Hawes Opts out
Mirza trade for expiring
Delly trade for expiring
let all current expiring deals expire

Go into the offseason with Brogdon, Middleton, Maker, Parker, Giannis, Vaughn. Pick in the top 10.

Resign Snell to a reasonable deal and then get some actual productive free agents!

But that's a lot to ask from our front office.

Lmao, you are looking to win in 2021? Please more 19 year olds, nothing says building a contender like a team full of kids who have no clue how to win in the NBA teaching each other how to fail. Plus Giannis would be gone after all these years of losing and they would lose big time.

I'm sure it's been posted, but Hawes will forever be a legend for single handedly beating us on the Sixers in our tank year. I've never cheered so much for an opposing team's field goal

I believe it will be Henson, guessing his act has worn very thin with the organization.

I said get some productive free agents in my plan. That's likely going to be guys with experience. Furthermore, in a subsequent post, I had a list of players that are nowhere near 19 years of age.

Trading Henson makes sense from a financial point of view. Then if Monroe opts in, it won't be that big a deal financially since he's only got one more year left. Actually would prefer that scenario. But if Monroe also opts out then the Bucks would hold the Bird rights to Hibbert and Hawes (should he opt out). So we'd have some bodies at center.

I want Henson and Monroe off this team. Henson is a bench bum and Monroe and Middleton don't pair well. Do we have a '17 free agent thread brewing?

Thon makes Henson obsolete. It has to be henson being moved. Just thinking about it, Thon is much better than henson despite hardly any minutes.

[drone3]

This, like... still happened right? Just making sure.

We just got out of one of the worst contracts in the league. Easily top 3 worst, along with Noah and Parsons.

[MickeyDavis]

Henson most likely but I doubt we'd be lucky enough to do a complete salary dump like we just did with Plumlord

[raferfenix]

I'm petrified we are just going to give Snell the money we gave Plumlee.

What is the best deal we could get for Henson + Snell?

[Baddy Chuck]

Really? I think Henson has more value than Plumlee.

I feel like this exact quote was said last offseason when people advocated doing "nothing". Hmmm.

[paulpressey25]

Henson will bring back positive trade value. We might just not like the value they settle on (i.e. like Wes Matthews or something like that)

[cinematographer]

Henson has considerably more value than Plumlee but it may make sense just to grab expirings.

Or...Greivis Vasquez is a FA.
