While this seems like an uneven trade, it's a matter of needs for both of these teams.
Michael Beasley to Milwaukee: What's in it for the Bucks?
After the recent of news of Khris Middleton being sidelined for six months, the Bucks were in dire need of a player that can put up buckets in a hurry – a need that Michael Beasley can certainly address.
The move will likely result in Jabari Parker sliding to the three-spot while Giannis Antetokounmpo plays the shooting guard position, with Beasley playing the four if he's able to crack the starting rotation.
Tyler Ennis to Houston: What's in it for the Rockets?
Houston had a major surplus of forwards on their roster. With Ryan Anderson, Donatas Motiejunas, Josh Smith and Nene vying for plausible minutes at power forward, it was time to let Beasley find a niche somewhere else.
The addition of Ennis will give the Rockets a young third point guard that can step in place of Patrick Beverley or Pablo Prigioni.
As a third-year guard, he still has a lot to learn, but the Syracuse alum has the talent to be a capable player in this league.
