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

Damian Lillard makes a return trip to Portland as the Milwaukee Bucks look to win two in a row tonight vs. the Trail Blazers.

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:

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. Windhorst noted that the Bucks want an “impact player” in return. Will Milwaukee get a trade done before the deadline on February 6?

Jerami Grant would provide Milwaukee with the scoring pop its looking for — without the drama of Jimmy Butler or the contract of Bradley Beal.
