The Bucks have a bit more cap room available after the Ersan Ilyasova trade. So, how might they put that to use?
While Thursday's trade sending Ersan Ilyasova to the Detroit Pistons for the non-guaranteed contracts of Caron Butler and Shawne Williams was a bit of a surprise, it certainly wasn't a head scratcher. It gave the Bucks a chance to get out from his $7.9 million owed next season while also freeing up both a bit more of the team's cap space--now estimated at around $22 million-- and a positional logjam in the team's frontcourt.
