Stein: Bucks Trade Plumlee To Hornets For Hibbert and Hawes

[nickagneta]

I like that trade for the Hornets.  Plumlee is much more mobile than Hibbert and Hawes.

I'm sorry, but that's a terrible deal.  Plumlee is owed $12.5 million per year through 2020, and is a fourth big at best.  There's going to be a move Charlotte can't make next year because it will out them over the luxury tax due to this trade.

Not only that but in my opinion, Plumlee is the worst player of the three. I think its a horrible trade for Charlotte. But then again, I have never liked Hawes or Hibbert as players, though this appears nothing more than a salary dump for the Bucks.

And there is people here that still hate Ainge...

So by my count the Bucks now have 5 centers...Maker, Monroe, Henson, Hawes, and Hibbert. Thats ridiculous.

Wow, what a block buster. I'm glad wiggle room moves like this is not a necessity for us. We truly have to thank Ainge for having the best problems in the NBA.

If they play Boston in the playoffs, good luck to us.

Our "bigs" intimidate no one...

6. Giannis defends Centers.

Maybe now they move Monroe. I wouldn't mind seeing him in Green

What a league.  How does Mason Plumlee get 4 years and $50 million?    Worse, is how does the Charlotte FO take on that contract for 2 players who are as good or better, on expiring deals?  Yikes.

[green_bballers13]

Does this move the needle for either team? More importantly, is this relevant to the Celtics or any of the (2) championship contenders?

I don't see any of these three guys as top 7 players on a good team.

This is a very odd trade for Charlotte.  There has to be some sort of draft pick or something coming to Charlotte, doesn't there?

Nah. They just really like Plumlee for some reason. I mean they have to be since they'll be over the luxury tax with him on board.

I think the Hornets were going for fit here as they are already capped on salary and Cody Zeller is injured and the only other rolling big they have to pair with Kemba, they are going all in this season which is pretty much a retarded idea. This makes the Bucks players in free agency once these two and more contracts start coming off the books they can add more talent around Giannis.

[The Oracle]

Great trade for the Bucks.  What in the world is Charlotte doing?  It is a ridiculous idea to take on Plumlee's albatross!

Miles Plumlee...Mason plays for Portland and is good. Miles sucks.
