Personally, I am ok with just a trade for MCW on the Bucks- Calderon, Lance, Serapin or O'Quinn for MCW and Vazquez (FA at end of year). I would be ok with that being the ONLY trade and maybe bringing in some talent and leadership off of guys that may be waived.

It would cost Phil barely nothing to take PG DJ Augustine contract off of OKC hands ..
I would rather rookie Grant n KP to learn DJ Augustine style

I am praying for a new back court. We have a couple of guys hidden in Europe, we need to look at moving them in a deal

God hope we don't trade Hernangomez to get rid of Calderon. That would be absolutely terrible. The guy is a top 20 pick in this draft (had we not had his rights).

I'd argue we should've done something like this weeks ago, at least for 1 DL guard. Smith takes the open roster spot; we then waive Vujacic or Amundson and slide White or Kilpatrick into the 2nd spot. That'd give us 2 talented young guards to evaluate for the rest of the year. I think each guy ABSOLUTELY could play and excel at the NBA level...Who knows--maybe one or both prove to be keepers, talented players we could lock up for the foreseeable future on team-friendly contracts. It would boost team athleticism/quickness (think of a 2nd unit that featured Russ Smith/Terrico White/Derrick Williams -- D-Will would finally have a couple of more players to get out and play some transition ball with), give us some more talent to help us make a run at the playoffs, give us inexpensive players to pencil in for next year or good young assets we could include in a deal during the offseason. NO BRAINER!
