This doesn't really seem like a replacement to me:

Houston has traded Michael Beasley to the Bucks for guard Tyler Ennis, league sources tell @TheVertical.

man, i was hoping to see Beasley under D'Antoni

Beasley is a great, cheap solution for them. The guy can still play, and can score at a high level. This could work out really well for the Bucks.

On a related note, Tyler Ennis will get his chance finally in Houston. It's a win-win trade for these two teams.

I don't really think Beasley is any kind of solution.  He is not going to play the 2 on either end of the court.  They don't really have anyone playing the 3 who they can shift down for a lot of minutes either.  So either they're going to have to go small at that position, running two PG/combo guards out there the entire time, play Giannis out of position for a lot of minutes, or go get someone else.

Has Beasley ever worked out really well for an NBA team?  Nope.

I think they'll be giving Rashad Vaughn more of a look at the 2 - they were feeding him minutes the last 2/3rds of last season despite shoddy numbers.  Must see something there.

Any takers on trading for Khris while his value is low and they're kinda stacked there? KO? Memphis pick, zizic, and terry?
