Milwaukee acquired Keith Bogans; cash while sending out Tyronn Lue in the 2009-02-05 transaction with Magic.
Orlando acquired Tyronn Lue from Milwaukee on February 5, 2009 after All-Star point guard Jameer Nelson suffered a serious shoulder injury. The Magic sent Keith Bogans and cash to get a veteran ball-handler who already knew the organization. Lue appeared in 14 regular-season games for Orlando, averaging 3.0 points in 9.2 minutes.
The Bucks were dealing with their own backcourt injury after Michael Redd was lost for the season. Bogans stepped into the rotation for 29 games, averaging 6.0 points in 16.7 minutes. He was not a long-term piece, but Milwaukee received more regular-season minutes from him than Orlando ultimately received from Lue, along with the cash payment. Bogans and Lue were veteran guards occupying different jobs. Milwaukee used the acquired Bogans as an available defensive wing and received cash in the same move, while Orlando obtained Lue's veteran point-guard experience. The cash item belonged to the Bucks' return rather than a separate draft obligation, and neither team acquired a protected first or meaningful future pick as part of this recorded swap. Both sides were making near-term roster decisions around the 2008-09 season instead of seeking prospects for a rebuild. The matching B grades credit those practical contributions without treating Bogans' later NBA stops as Milwaukee production or Lue's previous career with other clubs as part of Orlando's new return.
Orlando made the larger point-guard move two weeks later by acquiring Rafer Alston. That pushed Lue into a much smaller role for the rest of the season and the playoffs. He appeared in only one postseason game during Orlando’s run to the NBA Finals, so the deal worked mainly as emergency insurance rather than as a defining part of the championship push.
Milwaukee received a usable wing and cash, while Orlando filled an urgent position need without giving up a premium asset. Neither player created downstream value beyond the season, and neither side surrendered draft capital. The completed result is best treated as an even depth trade shaped by injuries and immediate roster needs.
Even Trade — Milwaukee B, Orlando B. Bogans gave the Bucks 29 games of rotation wing minutes plus cash, while Lue gave Orlando emergency point-guard depth after Nelson’s injury. The Magic later upgraded the position with Rafer Alston, limiting Lue’s postseason role. Both teams addressed a short-term need at a modest cost, and neither side created enough lasting value to justify a meaningful grade gap.
