Bucks' Michael Beasley: Traded to Milwaukee

Beasley was traded to the Bucks on Thursday in exchange for Tyler Ennis, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports.

Analysis:

After the receiving the news Wednesday that Khris Middleton would be sidelined for six months once he undergoes surgery to repair a torn left hamstring, the Bucks opted to explore the trade market for some additional help at forward. Beasley should offer the Bucks a plug-and-play option at both small and power forward and could be one of a few different players to take on some of the scoring burden with the Bucks losing their leading point scorer from a year ago. After opening last season in the Chinese Basketball Association, Beasley signed with the Rockets last spring and immediately became a key contributor off their bench, averaging 12.8 points and 4.9 rebounds in just 18.2 minutes per game. Though he still figures to come off the bench in Milwaukee, he'll likely be in line for more playing time than he would have received in Houston, which should aid his overall fantasy production.
