Trade Idea: Tony Snell, Ersan Ilyasova For Wesley Matthews

This trade works in the Trade Machine and would provide an additional $17.6 Million in Cap Space next season, while bringing  back to Milwaukee, where he played college for Marquette. Matthews would replace Snell in the rotation and provide additional scoring off the bench, while the departure of Ersan Ilyasova would free up more consistent minutes for D.J. Wilson along with providing an opportunity for the Bucks to find out just how good Christian Wood can be.

Tony Snell, Ersan Ilyasova For Wesley Matthews

This trade would actually make Dallas a better team and provide depth off the bench. For the Bucks it upgrades them on the wing while opening up room for our young interior players to grow. The biggest value for the Bucks is the fact that it frees up cap space, that business side of the deal is what would be the biggest motivating factor for the Bucks. Milwaukee should be prepared to add a couple second round picks if needed or maybe a late first rounder to make sure a deal like this gets done.

Mike Budenholzer’s Dog House

As of January 20, 2019 these four members of the Milwaukee Bucks find themselves in Coach Buds Dog House!

Rookie Donte Divincenzo finds himself unable to make much of an impression so far this season as playing time has been limited since the start of the regular season. He’s bouncing back and forth from the Bucks to the Wisconsin Herd so that he can get some in game, on court action in.

Jason Smith came over with George Hill in the trade that send Matthew Dellavedova and John Henson to Cleveland. The trade was designed to shed cap space and provide the Bucks with much needed flexibility in this summers free agent market. Smith was basically a throw in and a player that made the cap numbers work to pull off the deal and has been a bench warming cheer leader so far and unable to clock any mins but garbage time ones.

Christian Wood dominated Summer League and the NBA D Leauge but has not been able to find a fair chance to see if his performances could be duplicated in real NBA action with this Milwaukee Bucks team. Fans love whenever he gets on the court but is still waiting to be unleashed and let out of Coach buds Dig House.

Pat Connaughton looked like a solid signing this offseason for the Bucks. Pat played some good mins for the Portland Trailblazers last season providing defense, hustle and outside shooting. So far with the Bucks his performance has been up and down and its lead to Coach Bud placing him in the Dog House and only pulling him out from time to time only send him right back into it after blown assignments and air balls.
