The Milwaukee Bucks did indeed make a move before the NBA trade deadline, acquiring JJ Redick from the Orlando Magic in a six-player deal. But a report from ESPN's Ric Bucher suggests the day could've brought even more drastic changes to the Bucks' roster. Bucher said in a tweet that the Atlanta Hawks pulled out of a deal in the final minute that would've sent Smith to the Bucks in exchange for Luc Mbah a Moute, Ekpe Udoh, Beno Udrih, and a protected 1st-round pick. It's likely the Hawks would've sent more back than Smith, but no specifics were given. ESPN's Chad Ford says the talks were part of a larger deal involving the Magic: Chad Ford @chadfordinsider Hearing Hawks pulled out of 3 way deal with Bucks & Magic that would've sent Josh Smith to Milwaukee at 2:59 p.m.
