Milwaukee Bucks Trade Rumors: Darren Collison’s Potential Fit
By Ti Windisch
The Milwaukee Bucks trade rumors circulating right now indicate that Darren Collison could be a player the Bucks have interest in.
The Milwaukee Bucks have been looking at a few point guards around this NBA trade deadline so far. Ricky Rubio has been the one most linked to Milwaukee, but on Thursday a new name emerged.
The Sacramento Kings made a huge splash by dealing DeMarcus Cousins to the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday night, and now the Kings are looking to sell the rest of their veterans for parts. To that end, Sacramento has began to shop Darren Collison.
According to Sporting News’ Sean Deveney, the Bucks are one of three teams who have interest in adding Collison to a potential playoff push. The other teams are the Atlanta Hawks and the Charlotte Hornets.
To cover any and all angles of a potential Collison trade, we’ll go through his season thus far, what the Bucks might have to give up for Collison, how he would fit on the team and the impact the trade would have on the team.
Collison to Milwaukee is just a rumor right now, but as evidenced by the Cousins trade smoke can turn to fire very fast in the NBA these days.
UPDATE: The other side of the coin presented by Charles Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Source indicates Bucks have had no discussions on Kings PG Darren Collison as trade deadline approaches at 2 p.m. CT.
