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

[coolhandluke121]

Just waiting for the announcement that we're giving up our pick or something... but then I remember it's MJ, so anything goes.

Shocked we pulled this off.

It's a good reminder that as much as we talk about 'realistic' deals we have to account for dumb moves from unfortunate franchises.

Sorry, Charlotte fans! Condolences.

This is how I felt when I heard we fleeced the Kings by trading Salmons for Beno Udrih and the #7 pick. We all assumed we were stuck with fat Salmons on a huge deal for years and somehow Hammond pulled off the deal of the century and we were going to draft the guy we really wanted (Klay). Of course I hope this time it doesn't turn out we really end up with Stephen Jackson

Just have to keep our general focus on what we gained from this and dealing with the Kings, Hornets, and Pistons not the Raptors. We should be in good shape then.

Scrolling through twitter, one of the NBA guys I follow suggested this move was to free up money for Snell. I'll see if I can find and post.

Our centre rotation Monroe, Henson, Thon, Hawes & Hibbert. We have 5 Freakin centres lol

[Nightfall]

Also we just established that there is at least 1 GM worst than Hammond

[trwi7]

This sums up Hammond's tenure perfectly.

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.

They probably figure he'll be a beast in the PnR with Kemba.

[Prez]

This can't be real

Holy **** this is amazing

[glenn]

Can't figure this out from the Hornet's perspective, but whatever.

May have been the stakes in a hand of poker Jordan lost to Kidd.

[Buck Dweller]

Kidd: "hey, you wanna swap Spencer Hawes for this 52 million dollar benchwarmer?"

Jordan: "DID SOMEONE MENTION A HAWES TRADE? DONE DEAL."

Kidd: "Cool, let us have Hibbert too"

Jordan: "DONE."

Kidd: "what"

Jordan: "what"

Our centre rotation Monroe, Henson, Thon, Hawes & Hibbert. We have 5 Freakin centres lol

There must be another move coming soon.

I actually do like Snell but hope this doesn't end up being a redistribution of Plumlee's salary towards Snell. Come on, let me see some more shake ups

There has to be right? don't know

[BucksPackers]

There has to be another deal soon we have 5 centers. Monroe or Henson will be gone before the next game.

We have to be trading at least one of Henson or Monroe.

Thon looks like he can actually play a little so I doubt we really want to go back to him getting DNPs.

[The Wet Whistle]

I'm looking forward to an all center lineup at some point

[drone3]

I just can't believe Hammond pulled this off. Wowee, I'm actually impressed

[MadBlueEdwards]

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.

Someone needs to remind Hammond that Snell is restricted.

[Wonka]

I've been seeing rumblings on twitter that we might bring Novak back if a spot opens up...uh, why?

Honestly, Novak being cut makes me almost as happy. I love Steve, but it was more than time for him to hang it up.

[MickeyDavis]

Long time until the trade deadline, should be an interesting month of February. Hopefully
