Nope, sounds like they were targeting Plumlee

Different situation, different roster. Maybe they think they can resurrect last years Plumlee?

Plumlee is a better fit for the bucks since he is a diet version of Zeller. Perfect backup if he's injured to slot in the team structure and be serviceable.

I see why charlotte did it but they defintiely must have winced to take on that salary as it's probably double what he's worth.

Was anyone really saying to themselves, "man, this sounds good but I'll wait for Gardner to confirm it. Wonder where his is?"

Read on Twitter

Right when I had fallen into an abyss of desperation this piece of news comes in to rekindle my interest. This is the positive opposite of the Greivis trade

What are all these tweets? Anything worth knowing? I can't see them at work and I'm freaking out. I don't know whether to be scared or happy. :dontknow:

I think everyone here would agree that Miles isn't as bad as his play this year. Given a consistent role, I think he'll be okay, but that wasn't happening here and that contract is gone, so hell yeah

Simple case of Hibbert and Hawes in, Plumlee out. No picks. Oh, and Gery's a dummy.

Jabari's extension.....

everything is positive.

Plumlee for Hibbert/Hawes

Bucks appear to be actively shopping Henson and Monroe as well.

More then likely extending Parker and resigning snell

Just different sources confirming the trade from what I've read in this thread.

Looks like we're making room for Sanders. I'm only half kidding

Here's the good one from Gery:

Trading Plumee was hardly a surprise. What was a surprise is the Bucks didn't acquire a much-needed backcourt player.

Aaron It Out · Post #195 » by **Aaron It Out** » Thu Feb 2, 2017 8:15 pm

Am I wrong that we already had enough money to extend Parker? I thought the team salary issue was that once we locked Parker up we'd be nearing the luxury tax? If that's correct this should allow us to extend Parker comfortably and give a hopefully modest deal to Snell.

One down three to go.

Thanks guys. Can't understand why CHA would do this other than having some sort of data to suggest Plumlee would do better in their system.
