When everyone was least expecting it, the Milwaukee Bucks made waves on the trade market yesterday afternoon.
As we all know by now, the Bucks acquired centers Roy Hibbert and Spencer Hawes in exchange for center Miles Plumlee.
As GM John Hammond relayed in the team’s announcement of the trade, the move opens up an abundance of flexibility by shedding Plumlee’s sizable salary off the books in favor for the inexpensive, short-term deals Hibbert and Hawes currently have.

Of course, to add both Hibbert and Hawes, the Bucks had to open a roster spot and unfortunately, Steve Novak was the victim of the move as he was placed on waivers not long after the trade broke.
