Milwaukee needs more offensive firepower, though. Khris Middleton is sadly over the hill. The Bucks have also been looking to move Bobby Portis. Finding a deal for Middelton and Portis could involve acquiring a superstar from the Chicago Bulls, according to a brand new report from Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley.

One player who could be worth trading the final first-round pick for is Zach LaVine. The Chicago Bulls guard is an All-Star-caliber player, but he’s also commonly regarded as overpaid, as he’s in the third of a five-year, $215.6 million contract.

After a slow start to the season, the Milwaukee Bucks are 26-19 and own the No. 4 seed in the East just a week until the trade deadline. Though their roster looks poised for a playoff run as is, the Bucks are a team to monitor in the trade market.

The Milwaukee Bucks are currently the fourth team in the East, but they know it’ll take a lot of work to crack the top three, especially with how fierce the competition is this year. That means they are willing to make a splash before the upcoming trade deadline and improve their roster.

In this new trade proposal, the Bucks do land an All-Star, grabbing Zach LaVine from the rival Chicago Bulls. The deal would be a three-team trade between the Bucks, Bulls, and Detroit Pistons. Using the Spotrac trade machine and abiding by CBA rules, here is what the deal could look like:

While the Milwaukee Bucks would love to upgrade their roster via a trade heading into deadline season, there's a major problem with any deal coming to fruition.

Joe Cowley of the Chicago-Sun Times has reported that the Chicago Bulls are willing to trade anyone and everyone who isn't Matas Buzelis, making the Bulls one of the premier trade partners across the NBA. They have some key pieces that will garner interest, including players like Nikola Vucevic and Patrick Williams.

The Milwaukee Bucks have begun to surge as well after their slow start along with the Indiana Pacers. Out West, the Oklahoma City Thunder have been at the top while teams like the Denver Nuggets, Houston Rockets,

Though the strength of schedule over this span hasn’t necessarily been impressive, Phoenix has been better recently, winning nine of its last 13 games. So, as the team continues its pursuit of Jimmy Butler, the Suns (24-22) are moving their way up the standings.
