[Milwaukee Bucks]

I accept.

I welcome the addition of lord covington and Malik Monk. Although Whiteside is a beast, his inconsistency is frustrating and I'm clearly going to struggle to make the playoffs, let alone make the playoffs this year.

Although I hate that spurs has Giannis, I'd love to see his team win the title.

[Minnesota Timberwolves]

I have been trying to get a little more rationale out of Bucks on this, but have not had a lot of luck so far. I spent some of the intermittent time writing out a bulleted list of how awful I think this trade is. I'll show you if you want. In any case, I was thinking about rejecting the trade.

The thing is, the biggest hang up for me is that I think the Gortat and Morris contracts are two of the worst ones in the league. But as I've talked to people, I've discovered there are more of you who think otherwise than I would have expected. So I guess I don't know--I think Bucks could've done a lot better, but it's not my job to run his team. So I approve. But I'm still pissed at him for hoping the Spurs win.

[Dallas Mavericks]

Hassan Whiteside is a very talented player and the obvious best player being traded here. I can see the thought process for the Bucks. I've barely watched the Celtics this year but Markieff Morris is struggling statistically at least. Marcin Gortat, while not an overpay right now, is getting up there in age where he's becoming a liability.

I hate trades like this. One team obviously wins, but there is enough value that I'm not sure it can be rejected.

I'll begrudgingly approve.

[Dallas Mavericks]

Milwaukee has to drop one player before this trade can be processed.

[Dallas Mavericks]

Trade passed.
