The Milwaukee Bucks are believed to be aggressive heading into the trade deadline despite limited tradable pieces. Jon Horst has made a trade deadline deal at four out of the past five deadlines.
“Milwaukee is definitely trying,” said Brian Windhorst on the Wednesday episode of his podcast. “I was talking to a team just last night where they have been talking with Milwaukee and they were like ‘They must have dozens of trade scenarios they have been pitching. Trying three-way deals, all kinds of stuff.’
“Basically to get anybody in there that can defend a little bit, particularly on the perimeter.
“They have two second round picks they are allowed to trade. No firsts. One of them is Portland’s pick this year.”
“They can try to repackage some swaps if they really want to try to get creative to manufacture something,” added Tim Bontemps. “You’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel if you’re swapping already swapped picks.”
