Just like that, the Milwaukee Bucks’ future cap outlook is drastically different to what it was on Thursday morning.
As first reported by Brian Windhorst and Marc Stein of ESPN, and followed up with further details from Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo’s The Vertical, the Bucks have traded Miles Plumlee to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for Spencer Hawes and Roy Hibbert.
In order to create the necessary roster spot to absorb both players, the Bucks also waived local favorite and veteran forward Steve Novak.
