The trade deadline is two weeks from Friday, and if you’ve been following along, the Bucks are kicking the tires on just about everyone rumored to be available. We’ve been covering those rumors as well as analyzing possible trades that could bring said player to Milwaukee, and you can read more about those below. But what we haven’t done yet is take a larger sample of whether or not fans are interested.
So that’s what we’re doing today, focusing on four former All-Stars and one former NBA champ who
could get his first selection as a reserve this year. Pieces on Andrew Wiggins and Ja Morant are coming soon, but follow these links to read more about the fits of Michael Porter Jr., Zach LaVine, and Dejounte Murray. Not all of these guys would require the same outgoing package from the Bucks, and MPJ is probably the only one who’d merit trading away a future first-round pick. Recent intel suggests that Jon Horst is unwilling to trade his 2031 first unless it’s for a star, and probably a couple of the guys below at most fit that definition.
In this week’s Tuesday Tracker, tell us whether or not you’re interested in those names, and if so, what you’re willing to give up if you’re Horst. For all of these, assume that the outgoing players that Milwaukee must trade are Kyle Kuzma (for Murray, Wiggins) or both Kuzma and Bobby Portis (Morant, Porter, LaVine) in order to meet salary-matching rules. For Murray, they’d also need to give up two minimum-salaried players, which could include Gary Harris or Gary Trent. For LaVine, just one minimum.
As always, this poll will be open until midnight Central on Friday, and we’ll post the results later that day. Thanks for voting!
