Hmm pay sack of poo poo Hawes 6 million next year or pay can't even play garbage time Plumlee over the next three years into his 30s for almost 40 million...

Even better if Hawes opts out.

Is Hawes locker room cancer or something? Even if he never plays a minute the Bucks come out ahead in my eyes.

Which Plumlee is this and who does Hawes even play for now? I can't even objectively critique this trade given ignorance and inability to discern Plumlees.

I think it's smart that a team with too many centers is increasing their number of centers. Soon they will be starting four 6'11" guys and Jabari. It will be unstoppable.

Real talk the only positive thing I can see about this is at least Hawes can space the floor? But they're also dumping Novak who exists only for that purpose (but never plays)

They are shopping Henson and or Monroe as well. Henson has regressed physically somehow and I thought untradeable but I never dreamed they could have escaped Plumlee contract so lightly.

How's Monroe defensively? Portland's got a Plumlee if they need to replace the one they got rid of

Haven't they been shopping Monroe since like the last trade deadline? Seems like there's no market for him at all.

Also why did Hibbert's career crater after his second All-Star season? He just turned 30.

Not good but he lost weight and seems more committed. He is ground bound and not a rim protector. Portland would not be a good fit.

The Bucks could have moved Monroe already but they want a semblence of a return rather than a dump.

The Portland Plumlee is a pretty decent post passer, that's all I know about any of the Plumlees.

He's trash but he was still a much better option than Hibbert. I'm happy to be done with both of them tbh, miles is the lesser professional plumlee but I'm hoping he can give us maybe 15 minutes of mediocre ball a night. Why did the Bucks do this deal anyway? For us it gets rid of some dead weight and opens a spot for perhaps another move, what do the bucks get out of Hawes and Hibbert?

E: drat I saw his contract, whew. Whatever, people will call it a bad trade for us but I don't have to think about Hawes's greasy face or lovely politics, and I don't have to watch Roy Hibbert struggle to move his wooden legs up the floor. I'm good with this for now.

Jason Kidd has the same basketball philosophy as Byron Scott.

Speaking of, this Magic thing could be the true beginning of the end for the Lakers if he ends up actually having influence. But the thought is he's too busy to actually do anything and this is just a move to keep the Byron Scott Lover wolves away from the door while the Lakers rebuild using their actual basketball minds to do so.

Getting rid of a Plumlee is always a win. Charlotte should be the Plumlee ghetto. Silver should make them take every Plumlee and not let them travel to away games.
