The Milwaukee Bucks, who are right on the fringe of the playoffs in the East, immediately get better.

Ellis is an absolutely dynamic scorer who should make things a lot easier for Brandon Jennings in the backcourt.

Both Jennings and Ellis can handle the ball, both can score, and both are exciting to watch. It's unsure how they'll gel together, but the Bucks immediately have one of the most athletic guard combos in the league.

What's more, they acquire Ekpe Udoh, a developing center who will provide terrific defense at the center position.

Udoh, Drew Gooden and Ersan Ilyasova make up a very interesting frontcourt. 

The Bucks had to give up Bogut, but the Australian center has had major injury problems the last two years. Despite being under contract through 2014, he was worth it for this haul.

Oh, and they got Kwame Brown's expiring contract.

On the other side of the deal, it's a little hard to figure out exactly what the Warriors were thinking.

It's clear Udoh wasn't in their future plans. Bogut, although very injury prone, could become their franchise center, but taking on Steven Jackson's ugly contract hurts.

If Jackson behaves himself and plays well, this deal doesn't look too bad, but that's a big "if."

As of now, it looks very one-sided in favor of the Bucks.

What's more, Monta Ellis has been rumored in trades for the past weeks, with the most intriguing destination being Orlando next to Dwight Howard.

But, now that he's headed to Milwaukee, it's becoming more clear the Magic won't obtain another star to pair with their big center.
