The Milwaukee Bucks have been active in trade talks in the past few days as they seek ways to improve their roster and Toronto Raptors Swingman Bruce Brown has been floated as one of the top trade targets.
Brown is cheaper, unlike Chicago Bulls’ Zach LaVine and Phoenix Suns’ Bradley Beal, and his versatility could provide more balance in the Milwaukee Bucks’ rotation. Bruce Brown might not have the star power of the others, but his championship pedigree and versatility make him a high-value target.
The Milwaukee Bucks rely heavily on Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard to create plays, with Khris Middleton as the third option coming off the bench. Middleton has been inconsistent since his return from an offseason ankle surgery and is making roughly $31.7 million this season.
Bruce Brown is earning $23 million this season but is on an expiring contract. However, if the Milwaukee Bucks go after him, the team would have to package multiple players in mid-level salaries to pull off a trade.
