Milwaukee Bucks: NBA Trade Deadline Day Rumor Roundup
By Adam McGee
As we reach the day of the NBA Trade Deadline, we round up the various rumors involving the Milwaukee Bucks so far.
At the time of writing on the morning of the 2017 NBA Trade Deadline, it’s fair to say it’s been a quiet few days in terms of rumors for the Milwaukee Bucks so far.
On the whole, the rumors have leaned more towards the players who Milwaukee may want to part with in deals, or those Bucks players who are generating interest from other teams, rather than names who could be pulling on the green and cream jersey for the first time in the coming days.
The devastating injury to Jabari Parker in recent weeks mixed with the team’s slump in the NBA standings since the start of the 2017 calendar year, made the trade picture a little bit more uncertain than usual for the Bucks, and although that may have played out in their inaction so far, there’s still time for that to change.

Zach Lowe of ESPN described Milwaukee’s situation earlier in the week, painting a picture of a Bucks front office that’s willing to deal, but possibly lacking the urgency to do so.
"“The Bucks are doing their due diligence to see if they can step into a seller’s void, sources say.”"
That’s a sentiment that would be supported by USA Today’s Jeff Zillgitt’s comments on John Hammond on Thursday morning too.

When Bucks head coach Jason Kidd was asked about the shape of his team at practice on Wednesday, his response, which was reported by Charles Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, displayed a reluctance to rule anything out but erred on the side of his team looking the same following Thursday’s 3p.m. ET deadline.
"“We’re very confident with the guys that we have,” Kidd said. “I don’t see anything changing. But things can change quickly in this league, and that’s just the nature of the business.”"
If something was to change, could it involve the players who’ve found their names in rumors involving the Bucks in recent days? Let’s recap the players who that applies to, just to stay on top of the game.
