Bucks Salary Dump




Plusses
Spurs
  • Get a small forward that can defend and pick up some of the scoring load
  • Another team oriented veteran
  • Didn't give up much
  • Much better equipped to handle an injury to Manu Ginobli
Bucks
  • Financial relief (3 mil) - more (7 mil total) if they cut Bruce Bowen as his contract is not guaranteed
  • 15 million off the books for 2010
  • Allows more freedom to re-sign restricted FA Ramon Sessions and Charlie Villanueva
  • Open up playing time for Joe Alexander
  • Get a PF - don't necessarily have to draft one or re-sign Villanueva
Minuses
Spurs
  • Less 2010 cap space although filling it with a player like Richard Jefferson is a good idea
  • Jefferson is not a great 3 point shooter
Bucks
  • Not nearly the same talent level coming in as what went out

UPDATE
Reportedly the Bucks are going to move Oberto to Detroit for Amir Johnson so Charlie Villanueva is probably out of luck if he is looking for a long term contract from the Bucks.
