> Milwaukee has limited options of outgoing packages, with the No. 35 pick, Pat Connaughton and Cam Payne as the Bucks’ most likely outgoing scenario, sources said, and Bobby Portis would need to be included for Milwaukee to chase a bigger salary player like Dejounte Murray, Bruce Brown or Andrew Wiggins, sources said.
> Among options at a smaller number, another name that’s been linked to the Bucks conversations is Wizards guard Delon Wright, source said, although it’s unclear if he truly ranks on Milwaukee’s wide board of options.

Stating what everyone knows
Bruce brown would be the perfect fit tough get tho
I love him and I think he can be a productive part of the bench unit, but he’s got to play his role. His rebounding is down a lot, and he’s shooting too many mid-range shots and taking too many post-ups and not enough threes. The offense completely halts when Bobby gets it inside the arc this year. If he isn’t rebounding much and he isn’t playing within the flow of the offense, he’s a pretty big negative
I’d trade Bobby easily for Murray/Brown. Wiggins has had a bad year but he’s rounding into form lately and the ceiling of what he can do is much, much higher. Having a wing defender with size that you can throw at Tatum, Jimmy, etc would be really clutch.
Not including Portis at this point would be insane. This team needs a wing so fucking bad.
The Bucks are .500 in 2024. Their schedule isn’t going to get easier. No one in their right mind watches a game and goes “this team is a contender”.
If combining their salaries and trading Bobby and Pat for a guy making 20 million like Wiggins, Brown, Hunter etc means more Ajax minutes, the trade would already be a win. Getting one of those top players is just the cherry on the top.
Would rather try and trade Brook for Wiggins
Brucey Brown is a title waiting to happen.
Bye bye!
Yes.
Khris makes 30+ million. I’m holding on to hope but god damn. I’d rather have 2 guys making 12-15 than 1 guy making 30 when you have Dame and Giannis already making 40+
As someone else mentioned earlier in this subreddit:
It makes a HUGE amount of sense for the Bucks to make a trade to combine several salaries into one this year, because next year they will be unable to do so. Any trade starting next year has to be salary matched and equal number of players included on each side.
