Milwaukee Bucks Unload Miles Plumlee In Exchange for Roy Hibbert And Spencer Hawes
On February 2nd, 2017, the Charlotte Hornets traded centers Roy Hibbert and Spencer Hawes to the Milwaukee Bucks for center Miles Plumlee and cash considerations.
Miles Plumlee became a member of the Milwaukee Bucks when he was acquired from the Phoenix Suns at the 2015 trade deadline in a three-team, five-player deal. Plumlee saw limited action with the Bucks for the rest of the 2014-15 season. In 19 games, the former Duke Blue Devil finished with 3.2 PPG, 2.4 RPG and 0.6 BPG in 9.9 MPG.
The Bucks managed to finish the year 41-41. Their record was good enough for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference playoff picture. The Bucks went on to face division rival the Chicago Bulls in the opening round. Chicago took the first three games of the series. Facing elimination, Milwaukee took the next two games. The series ended when Chicago routed the Bucks by 54 points in Milwaukee. Plumlee only played in the final game after the series had been decided early on in the first half of Game Six.
The Bucks made a big splash in free agency by signing center Greg Monroe to a three-year contract worth $50 million with a player option in the final year. With John Henson already on the roster, the addition of Monroe limited any chance for Plumlee to receive consistent minutes.
Plumlee began the 2015-16 season behind Monroe and Henson and received limited playing time. After an injury by Henson midway through the season, Plumlee capitalized and had his best stretch in a Bucks uniform. He formed a solid pick and roll partnership with young Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo. Plumlee’s pre and post All-Star Break numbers were vastly different.
Stats via Basketball-Reference and NBA.com Stats
For the season overall, Plumlee posted 5.1 PPG, 3.8 RPG and 0.8 BPG in 61 contests and 14.3 MPG. Milwaukee was one of the more disappointing teams in the NBA during the ‘15-‘16 season. Expected to compete for a playoff spot, Milwaukee began the season 7-13. They could never right the ship and finished out of the postseason picture with a 33-49 record.
Coming off of his strong finish to the season, Plumlee re-signed with the Bucks on a four-year, $50 million deal that had incentives that could raise the total to $52 million. The contract seemed exorbitant considering Plumlee’s limited track record of sustained individual success. Also, by re-signing Plumlee, the Bucks had now invested $40 million for the 2016-17 season in three centers, and $144 million total for the same three players. Naturally, that appeared to be a questionable allocation of funds.
Plumlee entered the 2016-17 season as a starter but was relatively ineffective. After eight games, he was benched with Henson taking over the starting role. Plumlee received several DNPs and only received considerable playing time when Henson was out with an injury.
Plumlee had played in 32 games (12 starts) — averaging 2.6 PPG, 1.7 RPG and 0.6 APG in 9.7 MPG — when he was traded to Charlotte. With Henson and Monroe on the roster, and rookie Thon Maker beginning to receive playing time, it became imperative to offload Plumlee’s large contract. The Bucks were 21-27 when they made the trade.
Plumlee ended his run in Milwaukee with 4.1 PPG, 3.0 RPG and 0.6 BPG in 112 games. The 6′11″ center shot 55% from the field and 58% from the free-throw line.
The Charlotte Hornets acquired Spencer Hawes and Matt Barnes from the Los Angeles Clippers for Lance Stephenson in the summer of 2015. Hawes was looking to rebound from a disappointing season with the Clippers.
Charlotte went just 19-23 over their first 42 games. They would play better in the second half, going 29-11 over their final 40 games. The Hornets finished with a 48-34 mark. They earned the sixth seed after finishing last in a four-way tiebreaker with the Miami Heat, Atlanta Hawks and Boston Celtics.
Hawes dealt with a back injury for part of the season, but he was generally effective as a pick and pop option and as a passer out of the post and from the elbows. The seven-footer shot a quality 37.3% from three and produced 6.0 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 1.9 APG and 0.5 BPG in 18.2 MPG.
The Hornets moved on to the first round where they matched up with the Miami Heat. Miami swatted the Hornets 123-91 in the first game. The Heat took a 2-0 lead after taking Game Two 115-103. The Hornets managed to tie the series 2-2 with wins at home in Games Three and Four.
Game Five saw Charlotte win 90-88 and take a 3-2 series lead after a clutch three from guard Courtney Lee with 25.2 seconds left. Heat Guard Dwayne Wade had a vintage performance in Game Six as Miami won 97-90. In the series finale, Miami routed the Hornets 106-73.
Hawes appeared in the first five games of the series, but he sprained the MCL in his right knee, causing him to miss Games Six and Seven. For the series, Hawes posted 3.6 PPG and 3.2 RPG in 10.6 MPG. Though his numbers weren’t remarkable and he didn’t shoot well from three, Hawes’ ability to spread the floor and play competent pick-and-roll defense were important in Charlotte staying competitive with Miami.
In the offseason, the Hornets signed Roy Hibbert to a one-year, $5 million deal. Fresh off of one season with the Los Angeles Lakers, Hibbert was expected to provide some rim protection and defensive help to Charlotte.
The Hornets came into the 2016-17 season with relatively high expectations after their playoff appearance the previous season. Charlotte went 6-1 over their first seven games, but they struggled for much of the season. A quadriceps injury to Cody Zeller was devastating. At the time of the trade, Charlotte was 1-11 with Zeller out of the lineup and 22-16 when he played.
Hawes had struggled to find the touch from three (29.1%). The 7′1″ center had posted 7.3 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 1.8 APG and 0.7 BPG in 35 games and 17.9 MPG. Hibbert had been effective in the season opener with 15 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks.
A right knee injury set Hibbert back and he lost his starting spot. Hibbert occasionally started when Cody Zeller was injured, but spent much of the season as a reserve. When the trade was made, Hibbert had played in 42 games (13 starts) and amassed 5.2 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 0.5 APG and 1.0 BPG in 16.0 MPG. Charlotte was 23-27 when they made the move to trade for Miles Plumlee.
Hawes ended his tenure in Charlotte with 6.5 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 1.9 APG and 0.6 BPG in 92 appearances. The Seattle product shot 43% on all field goals, 34% from beyond the arc and 85% from the free-throw line.
Plumlee came to Charlotte with expectations to provide some of the pick and roll capabilities that the Hornets had gotten from Cody Zeller before he went down with his injury. Plumlee saw a slight uptick in minutes after the trade, but it didn’t last. After playing in five games, Plumlee suffered a strained right calf that kept him out for 19 games.
He returned late in the season and saw action in the final eight games of the season. In 13 games with Charlotte, Plumlee produced 2.4 PPG, 3.2 RPG and 0.5 SPG in 13.4 MPG. Charlotte finished up the 2016-17 season out of the playoffs with a 36-46 record.
Before the 2017 NBA Draft, the Hornets were able to unload the three years and $37.5 million left on Plumlee’s contract in a trade with the Atlanta Hawks for center Dwight Howard. Charlotte also sent guard Marco Belinelli to the Hawks in the deal and both teams swapped second round picks in the 2017 draft.
As part of the trade, the Bucks were forced to waive Steve Novak since the team had gone over the roster limit of 15 players. Hibbert never played a game for the Bucks. A few weeks after the trade, Hibbert was dealt to the Denver Nuggets for a heavily protected second round pick.
Hawes stayed with Milwaukee for the rest of the season, but had a limited role with Milwaukee’s vast amount of centers already on the roster. He appeared in 19 games, managing 4.4 PPG, 2.4 RPG and 1.0 APG in 9.0 MPG. The Bucks were 21-27 when the trade was made. Milwaukee used a 21-13 second half surge to finish 42-40 and make the playoffs.
The Bucks battled the Toronto Raptors in the first round. Like many teams before them, Milwaukee stole the first game on the road in Toronto. After a Raptors Game Two win, Milwaukee smacked the Raptors 104-77. Holding a 2-1 series advantage, the Bucks lost the next three games to fall to the Raptors 4-2. Hawes played just three games and 17 minutes in the six-game series.
After the season, Hawes opted into the final year of his contract worth $6 million. Two months later, the Bucks waived Hawes. Milwaukee used the stretch provision to stretch out the payments of Hawes’ 2017-18 salary. (via Milwaukee Journal Sentinel):
“Hawes is owed $6,021,175 for next season, the final year of his contract. Using the stretch provision, the Bucks will pay $2,007,058.33 to Hawes over each of the next three seasons.”
Miles Plumlee on how he knew there was a likely trade on the way (via Charlotte Observer):
I knew that there had been some talks for a week or two, but I had no idea that it was actually going to happen this soon.”
On watching how Cody Zeller plays in Charlotte and adjusting to Charlotte:
“I’ve watched the way he comes out of the pick-and-rolls and they hit him (with passes) in stride. He’s athletic and big. It will be easy, with the guys having that feel for him, for me to do some of the same things. It should help the transition quite a bit. It’s definitely a different system and different players than Milwaukee. I think it should be pretty natural for me, as far as what I’ve had success with in the past.”
On leaving Milwaukee:
“It’s no secret I wasn’t really playing there, so it was a big breath of fresh air. It was a great learning experience with the Bucks. I thank them for everything they gave me. But I’m excited to be here now."
Spencer Hawes on he found out about the trade (via Milwaukee Journal Sentinel):
“Roy and I were on the (Hornets) bus. I’ve been in the situation coming down to the trade deadline where you know you’re going to get moved and there’s all this speculation.
“I almost think this in a way is easier. It’s like the guillotine; it’s clean-cut. You don’t have to deal with all the rumors over all-star break and a month of that. You pack up and go where they tell you. It’s been a long couple days traveling. I’m just glad to be here finally with the team and try to get acclimated as quickly as possible.”
On the Bucks:
“I think it’s a very unique team, with the versatility they have across the board. Obviously a lot of young guys are developing, and hopefully I can come in and be a veteran presence right off the bat.”
How he’s seen everything through his NBA career:
“If you stick around long enough, you see a little bit of everything.”
Roy Hibbert on how he saw the trade coming (via Milwaukee Journal Sentinel):
“I thought I saw it coming with the playing time and stuff.”
On joining the Bucks:
“This is a long, athletic team, an up-and-coming team, and they can make a lot of noise.”
Charlotte Hornets general manager Rich Cho on the trade in a statement (via ESPN):
“We are excited to add Miles to our roster. He is an athletic big man who brings additional physicality and rebounding to our frontcourt rotation. He's a proven player with a strong work ethic and we think he'll fit in well with our core group.”
On the trade (via Hornets.com):
“Well, we felt like we needed more physicality on the frontline, and athleticism. And those are two things Miles can bring. Those are two of his strengths. He might not be as well known as the other guys [Hawes and Hibbert], but he has been in the league for a while. He’s 28-year-old. We’ve seen him a ton and I think he’s pretty well known within the NBA circle, maybe not to the fans out there as much, but he’s pretty well known within the NBA circle.”
How Plumlee has a similar game to Cody Zeller:
“They do have a lot of similarities. They’re both very athletic, good defenders. They do a lot of the dirty work... They’re good in the transition-game, up-tempo. They do have some similarities so when Miles comes in for Cody or Cody comes in for Miles, it should be a seamless transition.”
On Miles Plumlee:
‘Well, we need physicality and athleticism on the front line and just some more help on the defensive end. [As well as] more help rebounding [and] shot blocking, hopefully he’ll bring some of that. I think he’s a good fit culture-wise with our guys too. We’re excited to have him.”
On Spencer Hawes:
"Spencer did a good job when he was here. We’ll miss his basketball I.Q. and his passing and his shooting.”
On Roy Hibbert:
“Well, I think that we had pretty high expectations when we signed Roy and, as you know, he had a really good first game, but then he had some injuries and it’s kind of tough to get in a rhythm, into a groove when you’re up and down with the injuries. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for Roy here, but one thing that you have to do when you’re a team, when you feel like something’s not working, [you have to] try and move on quickly.”
Milwaukee Bucks general manager John Hammond on the trade in a statement (via ESPN):
“Spencer and Roy are two proven NBA centers who give us additional depth and versatility in the front court. The trade also gives us future cap flexibility as we continue to shape our roster. Miles and Steve [Novak] are true professionals both on and off the court, and we wish them all the best.”
Bucks head coach Jason Kidd on Hibbert and Hawes (via Milwaukee Journal Sentinel):
“You look at Hibbert, he protects the rim and offensively he can put it in the basket in the paint. You look at Hawes, he play-makes and he can shoot the three, so he can stretch the defense. Both of those guys know how to play the game the right way.”
Hornets head coach Steve Clifford on Miles Plumlee (via Charlotte Observer):
“I think he plays like Cody [Zeller], and that’s a natural fit for us. The other thing is the physicality. He plays with a hit-first mentality and I think that can help us also.”
On Roy Hibbert:
“I remember leaving the arena that night saying, ‘We’ve got something here.’ People don’t understand that having a basket protector is a big deal. He’s just never been healthy. He’s had games where he felt better, but never 100 percent. Maybe he needs a couple of months or a summer (to get his body right). He did everything he could.”
