First of all, happy C.C. Day to all other Brewers fans out there. I know this is a Bucks blog but still, couldn't hold in the excitement of getting a Cy Young winner.

Anyway, this trade made me look back on the Bucks Gary Payton trade a few years back. Like Payton, C.C. has an expiring deal, and it seems likely he could leaave after half a season like GP did. I'm interested if anyone else sees the paralel between this trade and the Bucks former trade. Do you think the Brewers season will end like the Bucks season did? Since it is summer, I thought some Brew crew chat mixed with some Bucks wouldn't hurt.

The Bucks need a power forward that plays defense, gets the rebounds, and basically, one that plays Scott Skiles' ball. The other need the Bucks have is to get a more pure point guard. Looking at the Bucks from this angle, I looked at some other young and rebuilding teams around the league that might be willing to make a deal. I thought of some needs teams might have that also have a few good chips for the Bucks. Let's start with the players involved in my three team deal that works under the ESPN trade machine

Memphis Grizzlies get:

SF- Desmond Mason

PF- Charlie Villanueva

PF/C- Mark Blount

Miami Heat get:

PG/SG- Marko Jaric

PG- Mo Williams

Milwaukee Bucks get:

PF- Udonis Haslem

PG- Mike Conley

SG- Greg Buckner

My Analyzation and why I think it's a great trade for all teams:

Mainly, it provides all teams with position needs. Miami needs a point guard, Memphis needs big guys, and the Bucks need a pass-first defensive point guard like Conley and a bruising 4 like Haslem.

Memphis does gain a lot for giving up only Conley and Greg Buckner. Desmond Mason really is not a bad pick-up. Memphis really only gives up Mike Conley, whom they reportedly have been shopping since they already have a pleathera of nice young and cheaper point guards such as Kyle Lowry who really came on last season. Memphis and Miami basically swap bad contracts, although it is noted Blount's contract does expire one year before Jaric's, thus sweeting the deal for Memphis if only a little. Greg Buckner should never be considered not expendable but with the trade for O.J. Mayo, it seems the SG position is shored up.

Miami finally gets Mo Williams after reportedly coveting him for years. Losing Haslem does not hurt them as much as they just drafted Michael Beasley. Gaining Mo would allow them to package Jason Williams, Marcus Banks, or Marko Jaric's amazing contract for a quality defensive center giving them a nice balance with Beasley at the 4 (I still don't believe Beasley, at 6'7, will ever be a dominant power forward, but that's another discussion). Miami also cuts 2 million in cap space with the Blount for Jaric swap.

Milwaukee gains a great young point guard who passes first and plays defense, something they lacked with Mo Williams. This allows Michael Redd, Richard Jefferson, and Bogut to get more shots and have a point guard to run the offense. Pairing Conley up with another 7 foot great young center again would be a fun sight. Udonis Haslem shores up any concerns regarding the 4 spot and provides defense, rebounding, and a tough mentality. All three of these were sorely lacking with Charlie V. This allows Alexander to come off the bench for Haslem or Jefferson and allows the Bucks to sub in Alexander once a team brings in one of their smaller power forwards. The loss of Desmond Mason would hurt the Bucks a little but we do cut cap space in this trade; not only this but with this trade I think we finally would see the transformation of the Bucks from a soft finnesse team to a tougher, defensive minded with offensive balance team, one that fits Scott Skiles' playing style much better.

As for the reality of this deal happening, i honestly do not believe the trade is lopsided for any teams involved. I believe it works for all teams involved. Not only this, but it works with all of the players' salaries factored in. I am interested to hear from Heat, Grizzlies, and Bucks fans and see if they would agree to a trade like this if they were the team's manager. Please get on your phone now J Ham.
