NBA Trade Grades: Bucks Send Michael Carter-Williams To Bulls

The Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to send former Rookie of the Year Michael Carter-Williams to the Chicago Bulls for Tony Snell. Here are NBA Trade Grades for both sides.

When Michael Carter-Williams first entered the league, the future seemed bright. He averaged 16.7 points, 6.3 assists, 6.2 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game as a rookie, and though those numbers came on .405/.264/.703 shooting splits for a 19-win Philadelphia 76ers team, the raw potential was there.

Just two seasons later, the former Rookie of the Year will be traded for the second time in his young career.

Late Saturday night, the Milwaukee Bucks decided to part ways with MCW, sending him to the Chicago Bulls for small forward Tony Snell. The deal makes Carter-Williams the only Rookie of the Year in the modern era to be traded twice within the first four years of his career.

Talks between the two teams were first reported by ESPN’s Marc Stein and Zach Lowe. ESPN’s Jeff Goodman reported that an agreement had been reached.

With the Bucks giving up on their flawed point guard and the Bulls giving up on their 3-and-D dreams for Snell, which team got the better end of this exchange? Here’s a look at NBA Trade Grades for both sides.
