This Trade works in the trade machine and would also involve the Bucks including 2 First round picks to go along with Eric Bledsoe, Khris Middleton, Ersan Ilyasova, Thon Maker and Dante DiVincenzo. In return the Bucks would get back Anthony Davis, the expiring contract of Wesley Johnson and also point guard Elfrid Payton.

The move would give the Bucks a dynamic Duo with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Anthony Davis for at least a season and a half. Milwaukee would have arguably the best youngstar pairing in the league with Davis & Antetokounmpo.
In the Trade Machine this deal works and would land the Bucks a special young guard that is not happy being a Maverick anymore. Dennis Smith Jr. was the 9th Pick in the 2017 Draft and is an explosive guard that any team in the NBA would like to make room for in their rotation. Also coming back in this trade would be Kostas Antetokounmpo the younger brother of “The Greek Freak” Giannis Antetokounmpo. Landing these two players would cost the Bucks a little and this is what I’m thinking would be fair. The Bucks should include Rookie and First Round Pick this year, Donte DiVincenzo. Also they should include the underachieving but still promising Thon Maker.

Giannis is close friends with Thon and considers him a little brother. To lighten the blow of this trade the Bucks would get back Giannis’s real brother, Kostas Antetokounmpo. Kostas is a project and would not expect to see real mins anytime soon but could grow and develop under his brothers direction. This Trade would also move Dennis Smith Jr. into the backup point guard spot and move George Hill over to the reserve shooting guard spot for the Bucks.
Dallas would be adding a nice piece to build with next to Luka Doncic in Donte DiVincenzo. Also Thon Maker could possibly benefit from a change of scenery and play at least this year behind DeAndre Jordan and could first hand see the level of toughness he’s going to need to develop to become what he’s capable of as a Center in the NBA.

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.
