In the early morning of February 11, Beijing time, as the trading deadline approached, the Bucks reached a four-way deal. The Bucks sent three players to get Clippers interior striker Ibaka. The details of the trade are: the Bucks get Ibaka, the Clippers get Hood and Ojele, the Kings get Josh Jackson, Lyles and Di Vincenzo, and the Pistons get Bagley.
For the Bucks, the deal sent away Di Vincenzo, whose contract was about to expire. Di Vincenzo's role with the Bucks is similar to caruso during the Lakers, he was the perfect role player for the team, but after Di Vincenzo's contract expired, the team did not want to spend a high price to renew him, so it sent Di Vincenzo through a trade.
In this deal, the Bucks traded to get the championship interior Ibaka, and the team's internal strength improved again. Due to the impact of Lopez's back injury, the Bucks need an interior lineman with projection ability to play with the alphabet brother. For the Clippers, the team already has a number of players in the front position, including Moss Jr., Batum Jr., and Ka Jr. and George, who have not yet returned, so the Clippers sent Ibaka away.
The Bucks have maintained a championship-winning triad this season, namely Alphabet Brother, Holliday and Middleton, and the team's record is getting better and better. Ibaka joined the Bucks, adding security to the team's impact on the championship.
