Thomas, Ennis, Plumlee, Goran, Zoran and Kloran out.

Wow.

Waiting to see the dust settle.

Very pleased that IT got shipped off too.

I figured we had to give up more to get Knight, that dude is worlds better than Thomas. But not too thrilled if thats the cost.

Suprirsed to see a Bucks team that has fought so hard to get into the playoffs, a playoff trip their ownership pushed so hard for, is now shipping off their best player.

Least Thomas and Green are gone. Going to miss Greens highlights and "when he's on" moments.

Thomas...very glad he's gone. Addition by subtraction.

Well, now we have motivation to watch Suns games again.

Just to see who the hell they are. :)

I wonder how fans and the Press are going to react to the Front Office. Did they have the guts to make major moves? Or is that a cover-up for their incompetent handling in assembling the previous roster?

Brandon Knight just turned 23, another well rounded guard, probably better at catch and shoot, than any of our current or departed combo guards. The Bucks have been one of the big surprises this year almost entirely because of his emergence.

The guy is a really good player. Not thrilled about losing that Laker pick but thats certainly a calculated risk seeing as we're unlikely to get it this year and the Lakers are likely to blow their wad try to make a playoff team this summer.

Brandon Knight is a SG is a PG's body. I can't believe we traded all this for him.

Plus he's gonna cost a ton this summer as well.

It's like the Suns are still lamenting the fact that they didn't get Eric Gordon.

What confuses me more than the Laker pick, which I get moving seeing as it is a boom or bust asset, but why Ennis? Thomas and Dragic gone, are we really going to trust Goodwin as the bench PG?

Problem with Knight is he turned down 9M$ per year
