I just don't see the point for Milwaukee. Whats wrong with shipping everyone *else* out and using Allen as a key cog in that rebuilding. Its not like getting Payton, Campbell and possibly Spreewell will really matter.

I mean, anytime you can get a guy like Payton, it can't be bad. Heck, they guy is top 5 all time at his position (Magic, O, Zeke, Pasty). Hard to say getting him is a bad thing. And like you noted, Des Mason is a very nice catch. My guess is all these high priced guys they are brining in are going to be ejected at year end, along with Karl. Thus giving the new coach a clean slate and lots of cap room.

Plus, don't forget that the owner is trying to sell the team. That plays into this trade too.
