Milwaukee Bucks Receive: Al Horford, 2022 1st Round Pick (via LAC), 2023 2nd Round Pick (via WAS)
OKC Thunder Receive: Brook Lopez, DJ Augustin, Donte DiVincenzo, DJ Wilson
Al Horford was sent to Oklahoma City in the offseason from the Philadelphia 76ers. He is on a huge contract and this was a complete dump for Philadelphia. He would be on his way to Milwaukee, along with a first-round pick in 2022 in a second-rounder in 2023.
Oklahoma City needs to dump salary and acquire some more assets. They would be able to acquire Brook Lopez to replace Horford down though. It would maintain a veteran impact at the five spot but reduce further salary cap burden.
