Trade Analysis

Milwaukee lost the Greivis Vasquez trade because the acquisition cost was far too high for the role and return. The Bucks sent Toronto the rights to Norman Powell and the protected Clippers-origin 2017 first-round pick that ultimately conveyed at No. 23 and became O.G. Anunoby. Vasquez played only 23 games for Milwaukee because of injury. Powell developed into a long-term high-level scoring wing, while Anunoby became a premium two-way starter. Milwaukee was seeking a steady secondary ball-handler for a young playoff team, but the price exceeded the upside even before the injury outcome. The restored asset lineage reinforces the existing F.
