Milwaukee Receives: Thaddeus Young

Indiana Receives: John Henson, Mirza Teletovic, 2019 1st Round Pick

If Jon Horst manages to make this deal, his name should be the first one to hang in the new arena. Managing to dump the contracts of both John Henson and Mirza Teletovic will be no easy task, but this deal is within the realm of possibility.

After trading Paul George to the Thunder, Indiana has been forced to start a rebuild. This is the perfect time for the Pacers to take in unwanted contracts, as they have no chance of being competitive for a long while. A first round pick would be necessary in this deal, but that may be a price worth paying for the Bucks to free up some salary, while also adding a useful player.

Receving Thaddeus Young would be a bonus for the Bucks. With Jabari Parker slated to be out until at least the 2018 All-Star break, Thaddeus Young would be able to fill that hole at the four. Even after Parker comes back, Young would be valuable off the bench, and a massive upgrade over either Teletovic or Henson.
