2017-18 Pointless NBA Trade Idea

Bucks get:
Elfrid Peyton, Mario Hezonja
Magic get:
Jabari Parker, Rashad Vaughn

Basically its a swap of players that I think these teams don't want to bring back, giving each team a few months to taste test on new players instead.

Parker is clearly unhappy in his (non-)role with the Bucks and while I think he'd be better coming off the bench in Orlando (pair him with Biyombo rather than Vucevic), he would still have a shot to prove himself as a down-low scorer. If the Bucks can get Peyton to be a mini-Giannis off the bench (by which I mean, keeping the ball moving and the tempo high) and keep up his solid on-ball defense, he might fit them going forward. 

Hezonja and Vaughn are like for like: scorers off the bench that have thus far been kinda disappointing, though showing flashes of being worthwhile. Perhaps the change of scenery will benefit both of them (though likely each would have the same problem in their new homes). Hezonja might fit better in the Bucks ball-movement system while Vaughn may get more opportunities in Orlando as more of a spot-up shooter.

The salaries don't quite match up, the Magic would probably have to throw in a 2nd round pick (or perhaps some kind of future pick swap), to even it out. Again, not a great leap forward for either team, really just giving four guys a chance to prove themselves in a different environment before moving on to free agency (which is where it looks all four are headed).  (Of course Milwaukee probably sees Jabari as a much better trade chip than simply the cornerstone of a taste test but they may struggle to move him)
