The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as we round up the various reactions to the Bucks’ trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Washington Wizards from Friday evening.
In today’s edition of Milwaukee Bucks Daily, we round up the reactions to the Bucks’ big deal that netted them George Hill and Jason Smith, the Bucks put in a dismal shooting performance in their loss to the Golden State Warriors Friday night and much more.
Essentially a salary dump, the Bucks paid a price in terms of the picks they parted with to send to the Cleveland Cavaliers. With that said, the future flexibility they netted and the potential for Hill to stick as a capable veteran guard in the team’s rotation for the rest of the year could offer plenty of reward, if both possibilities come to fruition.
