It was expected that the 2015 NBA Draft would be a busy night for teams making a bunch of moves. A night that would possibly see the Knicks move from the fourth pick, the Kings and Nuggets possibly swapping picks or even the Charlotte Hornets looking to trade the ninth pick.
Well, none of that happened by time the draft lottery ended. The first trade of the night involved a second round pick this year and a first round pick in the 2017 draft. The Raptors send backup point guard Greivis Vasquez to the Bucks.
Following from ESPN’s Marc Stein.

ESPN sources say Milwaukee sends 2017 first-round pick via the Clippers and the 46th pick in tonight's second round to Toronto for Vasquez

Vasquez getting sent out of Toronto freed them up to select Delon Wright out of Colorado with the 20th pick while also freeing up some cap space. On the flipside, the Bucks get a proven backup guard who can score and offset the lack of offensive production from starting point guard Michael Carter-Williams.
UPDATE
The second round pick this year turned out to be Norman Powell out of UCLA.
