Bucks Searching For Trade To Upgrade Existing Roster

[RealGM Wiretap]

The Milwaukee Bucks are canvasing the NBA in search of a trade that will help jumpstart their slow start to the season, sources tell ESPN. The Bucks have started the season 2-6 with their only wins coming on opening night against a depleted Philadelphia 76ers team and against the rebuilding Utah Jazz.

Khris Middleton has remained out as he recovers from offseason ankle surgeries. 

The Bucks are in the second apron, which prohibits them from aggregating salaries as well as taking back more money than they send out. The Bucks have also don't have control of any their next

"The second apron coming in now really hamstrings them," a rival general manager told ESPN. "They're doing due diligence trying to find options, but of course they know it."

Trade your coach. Start there & let’s ban Greek from making roster decisions.

They shouldn't have extended Middleton last summer when they knew his body was already done. Makes any move extremely hard when he's taking 32M this year and 34M next

Gotta love these headlines lol

I would never have guessed that GMs are considering trades to upgrade their rosters.

Don't let players be GMs. Your run with a star will end if you don't get cheap production on the roster. They failed in that aspect and are paying price currently. So, fork in the road at season's end.

I wonder what it would take to get that Budenholzer guy from Phoenix.

Good luck. They have no real tradable assets outside of trading away core pieces. Some young prospects, Bobby and Giannis. That's all they have that any team would give a crap about. Teams that swing for the fence to get Middleton or Lillard will be sorry in a year or two.

Ship out that bum Doc Rivers, dude runs every team he's on into the dirt, I'm flabbergasted he's still in the league.

Just blow it up already.
