[Sidery] The Bucks have been shopping Pat Connaughton for a more versatile rotation piece. Connaughton makes $9.4 million in 2024-25, which also includes a player option for the following season. Due to current second apron limitations, Milwaukee can’t aggregate salaries in trades.

So goodbye 1st round pick
Yeah I don’t see a trade. He’s pretty much fallen off a cliff and is getting old and is making a good chunk of money for the next two years.
2021 officially feels like a long time ago now.
I’d prefer to not have to attach one of our draft picks to move off of him. Hopefully if we make a Brook trade, we can use him for salary matching.
Getting off his contract gets us under the second apron though. Getting back the TP-MLE would be great for improving our bench.

The Bucks are shopping everyone other than Khris, Dame, and Giannis. The secret everyone already knew.
What does it mean that Milwaukee cannot aggregate salaries in a trade? We can’t combine two salaries for one? Or we can’t receive two for one? Or both?
Milwaukee needs a few trades where they turn declining assets into upside players that deliver. Other teams do this from time to time. Maybe it is Horst’s turn.
2-3 years too late, I still can’t believe we kept him and traded both his replacements instead, donte and Grayson. I’m thinking we kept him to keep Giannis happy.
I would trade Pat for literally any NBA player.
However, it would suck having to give up draft picks to pay someone to take him.
