About a week before the season opener, the Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks exchanged guards, as Michael Carter-Williams is heading to Chicago for Tony Snell. The deal was made official on Monday after first getting rumored on Saturday.
Carter-Williams was informed that he was heading to Chicago on Saturday night. This deal makes sense for Milwaukee due to the Khris Middleton injury, as they continue to search for more shooting. They have also acquired Michael Beasley this off-season.
The trade talks were made easy when the two teams met in a preseason game Saturday. This is the second time the Bucks tried to trade Carter-Williams, as he was also offered to the Kings for Ben McLemore.
Both players are eligible for extensions before the October 31st deadline, and the Bucks are said to be in contract talks with Snell. Carter-Williams is expected to be utilized alongside Rajon Rondo, this after losing his starting job in Milwaukee following hip surgery.
Snell was not expected to see much floor time in Chicago due to him being too far down the depth chart behind Dwayne Wade and Jimmy Butler. So this will turn out to be a move that favors both teams and players involved.
