Here’s a better explanation from CBS Sports:
The Wizards will send Meeks, who’s currently suspended for a violation of the league’s anti-drug program, as well as cash and a second-round pick to the Bucks, who will use a trade exception to absorb Meeks before waiving him. It’s essentially a means of opening up a roster spot for the Wizards and a pick-grab by Milwaukee, which did not have interest in keeping the veteran shooter around. Meeks will now become a free agent, but he won’t be able to play until he complete’s his 25-game ban, which he cannot begin serving until he signs with another team.
