On June 20, Tencent Sports News According to the report of ESPN reporter Wernalovsky, the league sources revealed that the Bucks signed Tony Snell and No. 30 to the Pistons in exchange for Loire. [Focus on NBA Dynamics]
After this deal, the Pistons will have the first round 15th and 30th signatures at this year's draft conference. The Bucks' purpose in this transaction is very simple. It is to reduce the luxury tax burden of the team by trading Snell.
Snell was selected by the Bulls in the 20th place in the first round of 2013. In October 2016, he was traded to the Bucks. In a game against the Jazz in February 2017, Snell played for 28 minutes in the whole game, but he did not gain any points, rebounds and assists. He became the third player after Derek Fisher and Joel Anthony who played for at least 28 minutes but failed in scoring, rebounds and assists since 1985.
In the summer of 2017, Snell signed a four-year contract with the Bucks worth a total of 46 million dollars. When Kidd was the Bucks' coach, he entrusted a heavy task to Snell, but after Budenholze coached the Bucks, Snell was gradually marginalized.
In this season's regular season, Snell has played 74 games for the Bucks and started 12 times. In the 17.6 minutes per game, he can only get 6.0 points, 2.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.35 steals and 0.24 blocks, while the 17.6 minutes per game is also a new low for Snell's average playing time except in the rookie season (16.0 minutes per game).
In this year's playoffs, Snell had only 3.1 minutes to play and gained 0.6 points and 0.3 rebounds. Moreover, he did not get the chance to play in the first and third games of the Eastern finals, and only played for 4 minutes in the fourth game. Snell's salary next season will reach $11.39 million. In the 2020-21 season, Snell will have the player option, and his salary in that season will reach $12.17 million.
According to ESPN salary expert Bobby Max, the Bucks have created a salary space of 14 million dollars through this transaction, which allows them to bring Brooke Lopez back to Milwaukee.
In this transaction, the Bucks got Loewer. In the past season, Loewer averaged 9.8 minutes in the Pistons field, and could get 3.8 points and 2.4 rebounds, with a shooting percentage of 58.4%. It is worth mentioning that Loire's contract has only one year left, worth 9.5 million dollars, and the Bucks may buy it out.
