The Milwaukee Bucks offered Michael Carter-Williams to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Ben McLemore.

The Bucks have a need at shooting guard with Khris Middleton out for approximately six months with a hamstring injury.

I'm not sure if I'm more surprised MCW's value has dropped that low... or that the Kings would still rather keep Ben McLemore.

For the record, I still like Ben McLemore.

With Brown and Green now on board, I think McLemore is a redundant talent now, unless we trade RJ Hunter and Young for him.

Picks are always involved and rumors almost always fail to mention them.

They both suck, no idea why McLemore gets love on this site he's never done anything! Not sure who the Kings have at PG and other SG? Guess if I was forced to pick one I'd take MCW.  :-\

When the news reports announce a trade between us and the Kings, there is only one name that I want to hear we're getting and it most certainly is not Ben McLemore.

The Kings have Collison and Lawson.  McLemore and MCW were lottery picks in the same draft and they've both been disappointments.  MCW is a terrible fit for the Bucks and the "Greek Freak".  In the Bucks games I saw last year, teams had no respect for MCW's shooting and his man would back off and clog the paint.  The Bucks ended up sending MCW to the bench and starting Bayless instead.  With the "Greek Freak" running the offense, they need guards who can shoot.

If Evan Turner can become a useful NBA player, there's still got to be hope for MCW.  A coach has just got to be willing to use him for what he can do and not expect him to do what he can't.
