The Milwaukee Bucks have traded Roy Hibbert to the Denver Nuggets, per The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The Nuggets will send a heavily protected second-round pick in return. Milwaukee is not likely to ever see that pick.

The deal is a salary dump for Milwaukee, and Denver is willing to take the money to get closer to the salary floor.
Hibbert’s game is outdated as centers are more mobile than ever in today’s game. He’s no longer worth the value he once was.
He was traded by the Charlotte Hornets earlier in the month with Spencer Hawes in exchange for Miles Plumlee.
Hibbert is averaging five points and 3.6 rebounds in 16 minutes per game this season, and never touched the floor in Milwaukee.
It’s unclear if he will find time on the floor for Denver either behind Nikola Jokic and and newly acquired Plumlee.
This deal seems to have been made for purely financial reasons.
