MILWAUKEE BUCKS TRADE DRAFT RIGHTS TO SINDARIUS THORNWELL
*
MILWAUKEE (June 23, 2017) – The Milwaukee Bucks have traded the draft rights to Sindarius Thornwell to the Los Angeles Clippers for cash considerations, said General Manager Jon Horst. Thornwell was the 48th overall selection in the 2017 NBA Draft.

Happened last year, Bucks sold Patrick McCaw to the Warriors. Team's are allowed to spend 3 million dollars a Fiscal Season in transactions with other teams. This was put in place because Cuban was dumping 3 million dollars in every trade. Given that the draft is probably the last major event of the Fiscal season, which starts July 1 and runs through June 30, rich teams, rather then pocket the cash, seek to improve the squad with the cash. GSW with all the championships, is rolling in dough. Money wise it makes sense, 3 million to replace an Andre Iguodala who's expected to command 15-20 annually.
