Marc Stein tweeted earlier today that the Bucks have interest in trading for Josh Smith.

 

The talked about trade at this point is BJ and Ersan for Smith.

 

Not sure what I think about this yet

I think I would rather have BJ and Ersan.

Ersan on good / fair contract and BJ on restricted free agent, potential for good contract, for Smith 3 month rental ?????

SUCKS!

Has to be more to it than THAT!

I replied with this on the Josh Smith article Jeremy posted. I think it fits here as well:

 

"Bucks have surprisingly a lot of assets this year. I’d hate to give up too many of them for a rental player that very likely doesn’t push us much further (if at all) towards contending this year. I’d hope a deal with Atlanta is either a. part of a 3 team deal in which Smith is shipped elsewhere or b. also includes a player/asset for the future like say Teague"

Even if Smith was interested in playing in Milwaukee long term, I wouldn't be sold on him. He's commanding a huge contract this summer, and frankly I don't think he's worth it.

 

Would he be better than anyone on the Bucks? Most certainly, though that doesn't say a lot about our roster.

If we could get rid of Jennings and bring back teague with Smith, then trade Monta in another deal, I think the Bucks would consider this a successful trade deadline.

[Kevin]

If the trades mentioned today go down, we'd be looking at something like this:

 

PG: Jennings/Udrih

SG: Redick/Lamb

SF: Smith/Dunleavy/Harris

PF: Ilyasova/Smith

C: Sanders/Dalembert/Udoh

 

Though this is just with the players actually mentioned in trades. 

 

I would be very happy if the Bucks came out of the deadline looking like this.
