The trade deadline is nearing and ESPN has proposed a trade that would see the Charlotte Hornets acquire veteran forward Khris Middleton from the Milwaukee Buck

The Milwaukee Bucks could add an offensive force that meshes well with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.

The Milwaukee Bucks have some difficult decisions to make surrounding Khris Middleton as they balance sentiment and pragmatism.

Middleton (ankles) has been upgraded to available for Tuesday's game against Portland.

With the turnaround they’ve had in 2024-25, Milwaukee is being active on the trade market. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported that Khris Middleton and Bobby Portis are available for trade.

The Milwaukee Bucks are mostly deprived of draft capital but aren't completely out of it. They still have one first-round pick to dangle in a trade. If the Bucks plan to use it, they must use it wisely.

Jimmy Butler faced an embarrassing moment when his card kept declining while trying to make a purchase, and Butler shared it on his IG.
