The Milwaukee Bucks are reportedly expected to make some big names available in an effort to land a major contributor before the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline.
According to ESPN’s Tim Bontemps and Brian Windhorst, Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis and Pat Connaughton are all believed to be available provided they can help the Bucks secure an “impact player” in a trade.
Bontemps and Windhorst noted that the Bucks face some potential challenges in making a deal happen since the only first-round pick they can trade is a 2031 selection, plus they have to shed about $6.5 million in salary to get under the second apron, which would allow them to combine player salaries in a subsequent trade.
