If the Milwaukee Bucks are open to offers for Greg Monroe, what type of return will they be looking for?

Those of you of a nervous disposition should probably look away now. As the Milwaukee Bucks continue to be a disappointment and their chances of a playoff berth have practically vanished, the looming trade deadline continues to hold greater significance.

Multiple Milwaukee Bucks rumors are swirling, and it’s not difficult to understand why. The Bucks have a lot of different options. They’re in a position where valid cases can be made for them staying the course with their current group, making minor tweaks that could have greater bearing in the future, or exploring moves on a much major scale.

With John Hammond’s penchant for trades, almost anything is a possibility, and therefore some suggestions that may have seemed incredibly unlikely only a short time ago now have to be treated a little bit more seriously.

The first of which is the idea of a Greg Monroe trade. In spite of being Milwaukee’s biggest free agent signing for many years (if not ever) and only joining the team last summer, with his short contract, the Bucks need to treat Moose’s situation sensibly.

That was something I discussed a couple of weeks ago, and it’s something that’s maybe more worthy of consideration now than it has been ever before.

For those of you who haven’t immediately picked up on it, the GM mentioned in the above tweets by ESPN’s Zach Lowe is none other than Greg Monroe.

If the Bucks are going to “sniff around deals”, what are they going to be looking for? What would make them pull the trigger on Greg Monroe?
