Re: Payton-Allen trade - who got the best of it?
"Plus, don't forget that the owner is trying to sell the team. That plays into this trade too."
--This should be much more of a key point than a footnote. In Big Dog and Allen, they've unloaded a SIGNIFICANT amount of salary over the past several months.
My prediction: The Bucks play out this season, possibly making the playoffs, possibly not. They sign-and-trade Payton for one or two young, tough big guys (or possibly some nice draft picks). Now, the team is suddenly young, talented and cheap, with cap room to build for the future. Very, very attractive for a potential buyer.
