Milwaukee Bucks: Bidding farewell to Thon Maker
With his trade to the Detroit Pistons now official, we reflect on the highs and lows of Thon Maker‘s two-and-a-half years with the Milwaukee Bucks.
The trade winds are gusting around the NBA and we have finally seen the first shoe drop for the Milwaukee Bucks ahead of Thursday afternoon’s deadline.
Wednesday morning saw the jettisoning of third-year big man Thon Maker to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for fourth-year forward Stanley Johnson. As has been constantly noted in the aftermath of the move, it’s a straight up deal that offers both lottery picks a change of scenery to rejuvenate their fledgling NBA careers.
