Back in the 2016-17 season was the first time that the Philadelphia 76ers made a trade to acquire Ersan Ilyasova under the leadership of former president of basketball operations, Bryan Colangelo. At the time, Colangelo sent Jerami Grant to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Ilyasova and a 2020 protected first round pick. Now, the Sixers may have the opportunity to add the stretch big man via trade again.
Milwaukee is offering draft compensation this week in hopes of finding a team willing to take on the contract of Tony Snell or Ersan Ilyasova via trade, league sources say, as the Bucks seek to create added flexibility to retain elite status in the East
Currently, the Milwaukee Bucks only have Giannis Antetokounmpo and Eric Bledsoe on long term contracts.
