Jenneral Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 For the last several days, there have been rumors the Bucks were seriously exploring the possibility of moving back from their No. 10 position in Thursday night's NBA draft. Bucks general manager John Hammond conceded he's had on-going discussions with several teams but declined to go into details. There has been widespread speculation the Bucks have had in-depth talks with the Houston Rockets, who have two first-round picks -- Nos. 24 and 23 -- and are desperately trying to move up in an attempt to select a much-needed center. But it appears discussions between the Bucks and Rockets involve more than just exchanging picks. The scuttlebutt is both teams are receptive to swapping players as well. The teams have tossed around different trade scenarios with Bucks forward Ersan Ilyasova being prominently mentioned.

Dash Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Article also says that the Bucks like Patrick Patterson and Chase Budinger. I wouldn't give up either of those two plus 14 + 23 to move up four spots and get Ilyasova. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dash Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) Patterson is probably the last player I would look to move (Scola being the first so Pat could start), best power forward behind Ed Davis from last year's draft class imo.

YugoRocketsFan Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Patrick Patterson and Bud for Ilyasova? Morey isn't that stupid, hes just discussing to try and steal Bogut for scraps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morey isn't that stupid, hes just discussing to try and steal Bogut for scraps.To be honest I wouldn't mind trading Bogut/10 for something like Patterson/Thabeet/Hill if that's even possible.

Dash Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) Gery Woelfel saying the Bucks also like Courtney Lee. Rockets might package the 10th pick to move up even further in draft.

Dash Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 If Rockets trade Courtney lee we are definitely getting a SG in the draft. It depends who else is coming back to Houston. There is no way that we're trading Lee along with our picks to move up to the 10th pick when we could also do the Bobcats/Pistons deal. Ilyasova is the only name we've heard from the Bucks' side but he's requested a buyout and that alone would keep him from holding much value in a trade.

Jenneral Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Feel free to take Salmons in the deal as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 DraftExpress Jonathan GivonySounds like Houston has sweetned their offer to Milwaukee, now hearing Courtney Lee's name in trade talk for the #10 pick. NOOOOOOOOOOO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Milwaukee is perhaps the most active team in trade discussions in the top 10, and there’s a strong possibility it will not be making this pick on draft night. Houston is offering Courtney Lee and the No. 23 pick, San Antonio is offering George Hill, and other teams are expected to make a strong push depending on what prospects fall to this spot. Jonas Valanciunas, Kemba Walker and Klay Thompson are likely to be the players that draw the best trade offers. Should the team keep the pick, or even if someone trades up, look for Thompson to be selected here. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ycn-8686843 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
