While Wrigley Field was losing its mind over Miguel Montero's grand slam for the Cubs in Game 1 of the NLCS, the Chicago Bulls were quietly putting together a small (and questionable deal). ESPN reports that the deal sends Bulls shooting guard Tony Snell to Milwaukee for oft-criticized point guard and former Rookie of the Year Michael Carter-Williams. The Chicago Tribune says it will likely be finalized Monday.

So ... for the Bucks this makes a ton of sense. After Khris Middleton went down, they were really hurting for a starting 2-guard, and were so desperate for scoring they traded for Michael Beasley. Snell fits right into the gap at two-guard along with rookie Malcolm Brogdon and second-year guard Rashad Vaughn. (Matthew Dellavedova will spend time at and may start at 2-gaurd as well.)

Snell's a decent defender and shot 36 percent from deep last season. They've been trying to move off MCW for a year since trading Brandon Knight for him. They've been looking for a partner and getting a decent two-guard in return is just bonus.

For the Bulls ... it's like they're trolling the entire concept of effective field goal percentage at this point. MCW averaged 11.5 points per game last season, shooting 45 percent from the field ... and 27 percent from 3-point range. That's awful. But hey, at least their starting point guard is Rajon Rondo whose only good 3-point season was last year and they also have Dwyane Wade and Jimmy Butler who both shot below 32 percent from deep last year.

Seriously, the Bulls have zero spacing and somehow made it worse.

It also makes you think the Bulls are likely moving off of second-year guard Jerian Grant or non-guaranteed guard Spencer Dinwiddie, as they also have Denzel Valentine along with MCW and Rondo.

MCW does provide some defense and playmaking. There's some upside there, and Snell was far from a valuable asset, but the move is just a little confusing.
