Something else to consider - the scuttlebutt is a specific EC team was behind the whole “let’s catch the Bucks tampering” bullshit.  If I had to bet money my guess is it was the Hawks.  Think about it.  They lost out on adding Holiday to Milwaukee.  Then they learn the Bucks are close to adding another key guy they were interested in so they blow the whistle to kill the deal and then they sign him.  

The problem with the Hawks is they were also left to scramble and signed a bunch of guys that (collectively) make no sense on that roster together.   But much like Charlotte, their fan bases are really fickle and they need to sell tickets.  So go crazy Hawks.  Not sure who is going to get the ball and shoot.  Rondo is a terrible fit and will probably drive Trae Young out of there.  But hey!  Celebrate that Bogdanovic move dude!   And Gallanari.  You might score 140 a game but will give up 160 a game.

It's almost certainly the Hawks, and this reporting confirms that a lot of teams wanted DDV and the Bucks only reluctantly agreed to move him for Bogdanovic.

The article also has an interesting tidbit about how one of the Bucks' players in the trade had a real estate agent looking at property for him and his girlfriend in California. Since Ilyasova is married with 3 kids and DJ Wilson is not listed as dating anyone right now while there are pictures of DDV with his girlfriend (from his college days in Philly), this was a done deal until the complaint.

I love this load of BS in the article.

Commissioner Adam Silver has been as stringent on eliminating evidenced tampering as Giannis has been in wanting Milwaukee to improve its roster. 

The best outcome as an FU to the NBA at this point would be for DDV to blossom into a star and make not being able to complete this trade one of the best things that ever happened to the franchise.
