NBA Trade: It’s rumoured that the Raptors and Milwaukee Bucks are discussing of…
The NBA trade deadline will soon be upon us. The Milwaukee Bucks are anticipated to be busy trying to strengthen their team before the mid-season cutoff.
As a result, trade rumours regarding Milwaukee have been more prevalent. They seem to be pursuing Toronto Raptors guard Bruce Brown, the NBA champion, at the moment.
According to a recent rumour from NBA insider Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, the Bucks and Raptors “have held conversations” over Brown. A few weeks ago, the 27-year-old moved to Toronto as part of the Raptors’ blockbuster trade for Pascal Siakam from the Indiana Pacers. It appears that he may be heading away once more.
With the Denver Nuggets last season, Brown enjoyed a breakout campaign and played a crucial role in their championship run. He chose to sign a two-year, $45 million contract with the Pacers this past summer as a free agency, but he hasn’t exactly been able to live up to the high expectations that organisation had of him.
Given his capacity to influence the game in a variety of ways on both sides of the floor, the Bucks are said to “think highly of.” Given that Brown could be among the most well-known two-way guards on the trade market, Milwaukee’s interest in him is not surprising.
The Bucks are “motivated to find an immediate upgrade” in their backcourt, according to Siegel as well. The league insider points out that if the team is successful in signing Brown, Pat Connaughton and Cameron Payne are the two players who might be left on the outside looking in.
