Ersan Ilyasova

Ersan Ilyasova is another one that may not have been high on Utah’s priority list but made for an interesting target nonetheless. As a potential stretch-four option, he would have made quite a bit of sense.

Instead, he’ll be joining forces with the Milwaukee Bucks (which raises some questions about Jabari Parker, but that’s a story for another day) on a three-year, $21 million deal. The Bucks add some versatile shooting in Ilyasova while the Philadelphia 76ers continue have space to make a significant addition. They’ll be intriguing to watch in the coming days.
