Free Agency, Trade Ideas, Rumors V.7

Yesterday I almost was gonna post to trade for Ryan Anderson for Delly and Henson. Since he's equal years and money. We open a extra roster spot. But Anderson is a slow plodder even if we used him as a center. Also we already got Ersan. Which both players were pretty similar through the years for stretch 4's. Figure Delly and Henson traded separately with a asset be easier to move in the long run. So probably forget about it.

The Cavaliers were the second choice for former Bulls forward Noah Vonleh, who signed with the Knicks this summer, a source tells Marc Berman of The New York Post. The Bucks and Spurs were also in the running.

Mentions Knicks,Jazz,Pistons,Bucks interested in Kemba. But no real rumor. More of a suggestion if Hornets did decide to move him since he's expiring contract.

That would be nice... but even if they do decide to move him, I don't see how the Bucks can pay for him... The Hornets will most probably want to unload a bad contract of theirs with Kemba, they would most certainly not get a bad contract back and the Bucks should first look to shop Bledsoe elsewhere before they can consider negotiating for Kemba.

If we can trade Bledsoe for Ball with the Lakers, then we can offer them Ball + something for Kemba... That could work...

Mike Budenholzer may be having “buyer’s remorse” over taking the Bucks‘ head coaching job after the loss of free agent Jabari Parker, suggests Gary Woelfel of WoelfelsPressBox in his latest podcast. He adds that the entire organization was counting on Parker to stay and never expected him to get an offer in the $20MM range like the Bulls gave him.
The Bucks are still hoping to make a deal before the season starts, Woelfel adds in the same discussion. He names John Henson, Malcolm Brogdon and Tony Snell as the players most likely to go, but says Eric Bledsoe has also been mentioned as a trade candidate.

Well its Woelfel. We all knew Woelfel's favorite was Parker. But we heard reports we were close to trading injured Parker at trade deadline as well. Also heard draft night we were shopping Delly, Bledsoe, Wilson. Henson could be odd man out since he only has the hook shot. Unless he's been practicing shooting threes over the summer instead of eating at Chipotle.

Woelfel isnt always right. Throws alot out there and hope one of them tidbits pans out. But even like we see he mentions....

What are we looking for in return from a Brogdon or Bledsoe or even a junk fr junk trade of Snell or Henson? I forgot what insider said on draft night Bucks were shopping Bledsoe,Delly,Wilson to move up in the draft or down.

Bledsoe and Brogdon for Kemba? Then go bigger and throw in Henson or Snell for Williams. Probably Henson. Since we be getting a bit thin at SG with only Brown,Snell,DDV,Pat. Maybe Mayo makes a comeback?

If were just shopping Brogdon alone. Then it has to be another rookie contract. What position we be trading for? SG? PG to replace Bledsoe eventually? Or if Brogdon is packaged with a Amigo then his value goes negative for a deal with them tacked on. Kings have like $11M under the cap. They wanted and were scouting Henson during Bucks/Blazers game last season. But Kings loaded for bigs as well. But I wouldn't mind Koufus or ZBO. Heck even Skal or WCS.

Milwaukee Bucks: The Bucks were named last month as one of the teams that inquired about Kent Bazemore‘s availability, a signal that they’re still in the market for help on the wing. Although there have been no reports suggesting that interest would extend to someone like Deng, it’s not a stretch to imagine him as the sort of player new head coach Mike Budenholzer would appreciate.

Would have to be vet minimum and no promises of a lot of minutes. Unless Bud really trims down the starter minutes to barely 30 a night for each. Then he could get some minutes. But this isn't a real rumor just a list of suggested teams. Plus not sure if Shabazz is guaranteed contract or not? Any cap left to sign a guy for vet minimum? Also not sure the roster count. Unless we got some other trade brewing like Woelfel suggested we wanted one trade before season starts.

Of course it will be veteran min... what else it can be with Deng?
I've been trying to explain that a player like Deng is missing from the Bucks roster after Jabari left and therefore having somebody, would contribute to the team much more than any Buzz or adding another guard would... It's not a matter of mins, there may be games where he gets no mins and other games that he gets 20mins on the floor... It's purely a matter of tactics where you have (at least) one (real) forward to play at SF so that he can create space on offense and cover space in defense at the opposite side of Giannis.

Better still, if we take advantage of Bazemore being on the market and get the Pelicans (which want Bazemore) to corporate on a 3-team deal with Atlanta, we can land Mirotic and have both Mirotic and Deng signed, which would allow the team to play both "3 guards on the floor" and "2 guards + 2 forwards on the floor" whenever matches and mismatches against the opponent require so...

If we do this, the Bucks will end up with a much stronger team that will be able to compete against the Celtics when they play all Tatum, Morris & Hortford together on the floor... If we don't, we will end up being mismatched against opponents that can play these kind of roster layouts.

Nothing ground breaking. We all mentioned who all should be traded.

They've got the order wrong too... Priority is for the Bucks to trade Hedson / Dellavedova (in that order) and then the order for the rest depends on who we get back... if it is SF/PF we get back, then Snell & Illyasova are both equally expendable and create more cap space for next season if they are traded for expiring contracts...

Brogdon is surely last since we have to have back 2 PGs in order to consider moving him...
