Bucks have had an active day and maybe the least important or interesting of all the moves they have made so far is this Pat Connaughton - Vasilije Micic trade. I kind of don't wanna harp on this deal too long so i'm going to just get this done.

Hornets: B
Taking on a decent bit of salary but those second round picks no matter how far away are always going to be somewhat valuable and as well as that outweigh the salary loss. Again I've just loved the activity I've seen from the Hornets this offseason, more shrewd business from them to get capital and contributing players. Good Job Hornets.
Bucks: B-
I personally believe I probably ended up agreeing with the decision to do this trade, reports that Micic is planning to give back some money to be waved and then head to Europe. This is not the worst move for the Bucks since far for sure but again just having that space and continuing to find that like they have been doing is great for them to add valuable needs to the roster. I think they will and have a plan but they have to be Pro Active to keep Giannis around long term so yeah need to see more but i'm fine with this for sure.
