The countdown is on as the NBA trade deadline is this week and several players could find a new home in the next 72 hours.
The latest player placed on the trading block is Andrew Bogut from the Milwaukee Bucks and it's a move that makes little sense, but the team is looking to add some different players and that could be good news for whatever team is willing to take a gamble on the 7-footer.
Toronto is another team that could use some changes and making a deal for Bogut is a good start. Tyler Ward from Bleacher Report suggests that the Raptors package together Andrea Bargnani and Leandro Barbosa and send them to Milwaukee for the Australian center.
This deal makes sense and it works for both teams as the Raptors get one of the better big men in the league to start shaping their roster and the Bucks get two serviceable players that can add depth to their squad.
With so many NBA trade rumors flying around social media it seems highly unlikely that many of these deals will actually go down, but a deal between these two teams makes too much sense for them not to at least have discussions. Both teams are in need of change and acquiring players that can help with those changes can only lead to a positive outcome down the road.
I don't mind the idea of the team, but the deal is awful. I'd wonder if TOR would look to next year and do some type of Jennings/Bogut/Gooden for Calderon/Barboa/Davis/ 2 first round picks(this year unprotected?)
Pair Bogut with bargs and Jennings and derozan.
