11:48pm: The trade is official, according to the Magic (Twitter link).
10:41pm: The Bucks are acquiring a second-round pick, No. 36 overall, in a trade with the Magic, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweets. Milwaukee selected UConn guard Andre Jackson at that spot.
Milwaukee had previously traded away its first-round pick and only owned the last pick of the draft at No. 58 prior to the deal.
The Magic are receiving a 2030 second-round pick and cash considerations from the Bucks, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel tweets. They had two lottery picks, which they used on guards Anthony Black and Jett Howard, and apparently didn’t feel the need to add another rookie to the roster.
Jackson adds depth to the Bucks’ backcourt. He’s a versatile player who’s main drawback is his spotty perimeter game.
That’s all they got? Lmao wow this franchise is an utter embarrassment.
Bucks to fleece old employee John again
The magic don’t have a roster spot and have tons of young talent. They really didn’t need the pick and swapping for a later year is a good move.
I know the magic didn’t need the pick but what they got back is kinda aweful tbh.
