Less than 72 hours before the NBA draft, all 30 teams are quietly going about their business, making all important last-minute decisions.
But while the focus is on Thursday night's draft, a spate of teams also are working feverishly on consummating a trade or two.
The Milwaukee Bucks are one of them.

Bucks officials have publicly acknowledged they have had trade conversations with some teams in recent weeks, but haven't divulge the specifics of them.
There was word last week the Bucks had interest in forward Andres Nocioni, but he wound up being included in a multi-player trade package from Sacramento to Philadelphia.
Now there's some chatter on the NBA grapevine the Bucks may be interested in another small forward - Corey Maggette of the Golden State Warriors.

It's no secret the Warriors have Maggette on the trading block - even though he is coming off a quality season in which he was the Warriors' second-leading scorer at 19.8 points a game.
He also averaged 5.3 rebounds.

But Maggette has a fairly hefty contract - he still has three years, $31 million remaining on it - and the money-conscious Warriors would like to unload it.
The speculation is the Bucks are offering the Warriors center Dan Gadzuric, who has one year left on his contract for $7.4M, and guard Charlie Bell ($3.8M).
The Bucks are also shopping veteran guard Michael Redd, who will be entering the final year of his contract ($18.3M).

See a team can make these type of deals when they have a Center and PG in place. Jennings feeding Maggette sends chills down my spine. I guess Salmons is going BYE BYE.

Then this poses a problem, as the only one we seem to covet is Curry.

seems like a no brainer, they were 22-8 after they aquired him

I think they would like to keep him but he just opted out of his deal.

could be legit or could be thorn trying to shake down kahn for some pieces to move up.

Wesley Johnson + David Lee or Carlos Boozer to their roster would go well with what they currently have.

I think Lee is a perfect fit for them. They might over pay a bit but Lee is low risk for what he brings to a team. Thorn is a smart guy. He will target someone attainable that can significantly improve their team and get him.

Lee fits well with them cuz they already have a shotblocking C with size in the paint... Lee's passing ability will work very well on that team cuz it can free up Devin Harris to play more off the ball at times, & adding a long range shooter like Wesley Johnson adds another weapon for that team... if the Knicks already had a C like a Lopez or Bynum i would be all for keeping Lee on a longterm deal... as it stands i wouldn't even mind him staying if we could add OK4 to the roster, but only AFTER we find out what Lebron & Bosh's plans are this summer.

Guess people don't realize that he's not that good. Like at all.
